Grid-Tie Solar System<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A solar system that is tied to the grid is a solar power system that is directly connected to the local electricity grid. It generates electricity from sunlight and delivers that power to your home, business, office, institution or other connected property all while remaining connected to the utility grid.<\/span><\/p>

Unlike an off-grid solar power system, a typical grid-connected solar power system does not need batteries to function normally. The solar energy generated during the day is consumed by the connected electrical loads and the surplus generation may be exported to the electricity grid through an approved metering arrangement, subject to the applicable Telangana regulations and DISCOM requirements.<\/span><\/p>

This makes grid-tie systems one of the most practical ways for homeowners and businesses looking for on-grid solar in Hyderabad to reduce dependence on conventional grid electricity without the additional cost and maintenance requirements of a large battery bank.<\/span><\/p>

Samraj Solar is one of the leading suppliers of grid tie solar systems in Hyderabad and we are committed to providing our clients with the best solar systems based on their electricity consumption, available rooftop space, electrical load, site conditions and applicable metering requirements. The system is intended to make the best practical use of solar generation that is available and keep the property connected to the utility grid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A simple way to understand a grid-tie system is:<\/span><\/p>

Solar panels generate electricity \u2192 inverter converts it into usable AC power \u2192 building uses the solar power \u2192 surplus can be exported to the grid \u2192 grid supplies electricity when solar generation is insufficient.<\/b><\/p>

This makes the system particularly suitable for properties that already have a reliable electricity connection and consume a significant amount of electricity during daylight hours.<\/span><\/p>

How net metering works:<\/b> Net metering is a billing mechanism that enables eligible rooftop solar customers to measure the electricity they import from and export to the grid under the applicable regulatory and metering structure. In practice, the property uses first the electricity produced by the solar system. Where a property has a solar generation that exceeds the immediate need, the surplus may be sent to the grid via the approved meter arrangement. If the property needs more electricity than the solar is producing, the system pulls electricity from the grid.<\/span><\/p>

The process generally comprises five steps. The initial step involves the analysis of the electricity bills, sanctioned load and consumption pattern of the property to determine a suitable solar capacity. Second, the usable area, structural suitability, shading, orientation and placing of equipment of the rooftop and electrical infrastructure are assessed. 3. Application and documentation as applicable is submitted through the Telangana DISCOM process. 4. Installation, testing and synchronisation to the grid of the approved solar system. Finally, the necessary metering arrangement is put in place and the system is activated under the relevant settlement mechanism.<\/span><\/p>

The rooftop solar framework of Telangana is governed by the applicable regulations and proceedings issued by Telangana Electricity Regulatory Commission and concerned distribution utility. Eligibility, capacity, metering arrangement and settlement mechanism may vary as per consumer category and applicable regulations at the time of application. This is why <\/span>solar net metering in Hyderabad<\/b> should be planned as part of the system design rather than treated as an installation step after the panels have already been purchased.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Grid-tie, off-grid and hybrid systems:<\/b> A grid tie system is primarily designed to reduce consumption of grid electricity while still being connected to the utility network. An off-grid system is designed to work without the electricity grid and therefore generally requires battery storage to provide electricity when solar generation is unavailable. A hybrid solar system is a combination of solar generation, grid electricity and battery storage, more suited to properties wanting to cut down electricity bills and have backup power during grid interruptions.<\/span><\/p>

If the property is connected to the grid and the primary objective is to reduce electricity bills, a grid-tie solar system is often the easiest setup. If uninterrupted power is important, the hybrid system may be more suitable. The right choice depends on property\u2019s load profile, backup requirements, grid reliability & budget.<\/span><\/p>

A typical grid-tie solar installation includes <\/span>solar PV modules, a grid-connected inverter, mounting structures, DC and AC cables, protection equipment, earthing and safety components, monitoring equipment and the required metering arrangement<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

The selection of equipment is important as a rooftop solar plant is a long term energy asset. The module brands that can be considered include Tata Power Solar, Waaree Energies, Vikram Solar and Adani Solar depending on the project requirements. Inverter options could be from well known manufacturers like Sungrow, Solis, GoodWe and Growatt. The final choice of equipment should be based on technical specifications, current compliance requirements, warranty, system design, availability and project economics and not on brand name alone.<\/span><\/p>

For commercial and industrial projects, the applicable ALMM requirements and regulatory conditions relevant to the project should also be considered when procuring equipment.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    A grid-tie solar system is not just simply a collection of solar panels. The system must be sized, electrically integrated, protected, monitored and commissioned to the needs of the property.<\/span><\/p>

    For a grid-connected solar system in Telangana, the right place to start is the electricity bill and the actual conditions at the site. The final system capacity should be decided keeping in mind the electricity consumption, day time load, sanctioned load, rooftop area, shading, electrical infrastructure and the metering requirements as per the applicable.<\/span><\/p>

    Samraj Solar offers complete solar EPC support from site assessment, system design, equipment procurement, installation, electrical integration, testing, commissioning and applicable regulatory support. In the case of on-grid solar, our goal is to design the system based on the real energy needs of the property if a customer in Hyderabad is looking for solar, and not just push a generic solar product.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

    \n What is a grid-tie solar system? <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
    \n A grid-tie solar system is a solar power system on your roof connected to the utility electricity grid. The solar panels generate power during the day and the grid tied inverter converts that power to useable AC power for the electrical loads on the property. Where the solar system is producing more electricity than is being consumed on the property at the time, the eligible surplus electricity may be exported to the grid through the approved metering arrangement. The property still receives electricity from the utility grid when solar generation falls short of the demand. A typical grid-tie system usually does not have batteries for day-to-day operation as opposed to an off-grid system. This makes it a practical solution for homes, offices, commercial buildings and other properties with an existing reliable grid connection that want to reduce their electricity purchases using rooftop solar. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

    \n

    \n How does net metering work for solar systems in Hyderabad? <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
    \n How does Solar Net Metering work in Hyderabad? Solar net metering in Hyderabad works by accounting the flow of electricity between an eligible rooftop solar system, the property and the utility grid under the applicable regulatory framework. During the day the connected loads of the property tend to use the solar electricity generated first. If generation is in excess of the immediate property requirement the surplus can be exported to the electricity grid through the approved metering arrangement. If the demand of the property for electricity is greater than the solar generation, the electricity is imported from the grid. The measurement and settlement of these energy flows are governed by the applicable Telangana regulations. Consumers have to go through the required application, approval, installation and synchronisation before they are convinced that a given system qualifies for net metering. The eligibility and the settlement conditions may differ according to the consumer category, the system capacity and the regulatory framework in place.\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \n Is grid-tie solar suitable for commercial buildings in Hyderabad? <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
    \n Yes, a commercial grid tie solar system in Hyderabad can be suitable for offices, hospitals, hotels, warehouses, educational institutions, retail buildings and other eligible commercial properties The strongest financial case is typically when the building has a large daytime electricity demand because solar generation happens naturally during the daytime hours. The commercial solar feasibility study should cover the property\u2019s electricity bills, sanctioned load, consumption pattern, rooftop area, shading, electrical infrastructure, and applicable tariff and metering requirements. Solar can reduce the amount of electricity you buy from the grid but it should not be automatically presented as eliminating fixed charges, demand charges or every component of the electricity bill. The actual financial benefit is determined by system design, generation, self-consumption, tariff category and applicable regulations.\u201d\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \n Can residential grid-tie solar qualify for the PM Surya Ghar subsidy? <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
    \n The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana also provides financial assistance to eligible residential rooftop solar installations, as per the present eligibility conditions and implementation process of the scheme. The program is aimed at residential electricity consumers and is not intended as a blanket subsidy for commercial or industrial rooftop solar. The current subsidy structure communicated makes available Central Financial Assistance of up to \u20b978,000 for eligible residential installations. Homeowners shall comply with the application and installation process as prescribed through the appropriate official portal and approved channels. They should also check the current vendor, commissioning and verification requirements before calculating the final project cost or expected subsidy. Availability of subsidies does not negate the need for proper system sizing, rooftop assessment and electrical design. <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    \n Does a grid-tie solar system provide electricity during a power cut? <\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
    \n A conventional grid-tie solar system will typically not supply backup electricity in the event of a utility grid outage. Grid-tied inverters are designed to stop feeding power into the grid when the grid goes down, as part of their safety and anti-islanding operation. This prevents a rooftop system from energising the utility network while grid personnel may be working on it. Therefore, a homeowner or business that needs electricity during power outages should look into a hybrid solar system with battery storage, instead of assuming that a typical on-grid system will provide backup. The right size battery depends on the appliances or equipment you need to keep running, how much power they use and how long you want them to continue to run.\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
