Why On-Grid Solar System?
These are the reasons to choose grid-connected solar PV system installation:
Save Your Electricity Bills
An on-grid solar feeds the electricity generated from the solar system to electricity grids. At the end of every month, you will have to pay only the net bill (export – import). It can reduce your bills by up to 95%.
Get High Returns on Your Investment
Once installed, an on-grid solar system can generate electricity for up to the next 25-30 years. Your returns will be in the form of reduced electricity bills. It will give you 20% - 40% returns per annum.
Avail Solar Subsidy
If you install an on-grid solar plant, our Central Government will give up to Rs. 78,000 subsidy. Our cabinet allocated Rs. 75,021 crore to disburse the subsidy amount for 1 crore customers who will install on-grid solar systems.
Complete Maintenance With a Minimal Amount
The grid-connected solar power system installation process is very simple and the maintenance cost is also very nominal. Generally, the maintenance cost stands between 1% - 2% of your initial system set-up cost.
Help to Reduce Carbon Emission
Solar power is the most convenient renewable energy source across the globe. It does not produce greenhouse gases and has zero carbon emissions. The fact is that a 3 KW on-grid solar system can reduce up to 2.5 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) every year. This is equivalent to the annual carbon emissions from driving a car for about 8,000 km (5,000 miles).
On-Grid Solar Savings Calculation
Not getting a subsidy? Don’t worry, here is a table for calculation table you:
Solar Capacity | Installation Cost | Savings/Year* | Lifetime Savings |
2 kW | Rs. 1,40,000 to Rs.1,80,000 | Rs. 28,800 | Rs. 7,20,000 |
3 kW | Rs. 1,90,000 to Rs.2,30,000 | Rs. 43,200 | Rs. 10,80,000 |
4 kW | Rs. 2,40,000 to Rs.2,80,000 | Rs. 57,600 | Rs. 14,40,000 |
5 kW | Rs. 2,90,000 to Rs.3,30,000 | Rs. 72,000 | Rs. 18,00,000 |
6 kW | Rs. 3,40,000 to Rs.3,80,000 | Rs. 86,400 | Rs. 21,60,000 |
8 kW | Rs. 4,40,000 to Rs.4,80,000 | Rs. 1,15,200 | Rs. 28,80,000 |
10 kW | Rs. 5,40,000 to Rs.5,80,000 | Rs. 1,44,000 | Rs. 36,00,000 |
*Here we have considered average per day electricity generation = 5 units/kW and 1 unit electricity cost = Rs. 8/-

Yes. You can get up to Rs. 78,000 as a solar subsidy in India on new on-grid solar panel installations. The government provides financial assistance of Rs. 30,000, Rs. 60,000 and Rs. 78,000 subsidies respectively for 1 KW, 2 KW and 3 KW solar systems.
A grid-connected solar power system shuts off during power outages to prevent the danger of back-feeding electricity into the grid.
Grid-connected solar power systems can last for 25-30 years with proper maintenance and cleaning.
The grid-connected solar PV systems do not require batteries because they are connected to the energy grid and may draw power as needed.
The electricity generation of a grid-connected solar power system depends on the capacity of the system. Generally, a 1 KW grid-connected solar power system generates 4-5 units of electricity daily.
The cost of a grid-connected solar power system in India varies based on its size and the quality of the components used. On average, a 3 KW system can cost between Rs. 1,90,000 and Rs. 2,30,000.
Listen to What our Customers Have to Say
Our Trusted Clients
According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, India’s total installed solar power capacity is around 82.64 GW (as of 30th April 2024). In contrast, the total capacity of rooftop grid-connected solar PV systems is 12.01 GW (14.53% of the total installed capacity). You can also install an on-grid solar system to contribute to India’s renewable energy generation target.
What Is an On-Grid Solar System?
An on-grid or grid-connected solar system is a type of solar system that is connected to the power grids. The electricity generated by your solar power system is directly transferred to the grids of your electricity distributing company/DISCOM. Your DISCOM will give you a discount on your electricity bills based on the power generation.
On-Grid Solar Components
Here is the list of components of an on-grid solar power plant:
- Solar Panels
- On-Grid Solar Inverter
- Mounting Structure
- Net Meter
- Monitoring System
- ACDB & DCDB Box
- AC & DC Wire
- Lightning Arrestor
- Other Solar Components
How Does an On-Grid Solar System Work?
- Electricity Generation: First, a grid-connected solar power system generates electricity from the sunlight (DC electricity) using solar panels. The electricity enters the solar inverter and the inverter converts it into AC electricity.
- Electricity Transfer to Grids: The inverter exports the electricity directly to the grid. However, your on-grid solar system does not work during power shutdowns.
- Net Meter: For the bill calculation, your DISCOM will install a bidirectional metre or net metre. It can calculate your electricity consumption or electricity import from the grid as well as the electricity exported to the grid. This billing process is known as net metering.
- Reduced Electricity Bill: Your total electricity bill will be finalised after the deduction of electricity transferred to power grids.
For example, Total electricity consumption = 200 units, Total electricity generation = 150 units, The difference is = (200-150) = 50 units, Your final electricity bill = 50 x 8 = Rs. 400 (If the cost of 1 unit of electricity = Rs. 8)
How to Choose the Right Capacity of On-Grid Solar System for You?
To find the right size for your on-grid solar power plant, you have to consider your monthly household electricity consumption or electricity bill. Here is a table to help you:
Monthly Consumption (Units) | Estimated Monthly Bill (Rs.) | Recommended Solar PV System (kW) |
0 – 150 | Rs. 0 – Rs. 1,200 | 1 kW |
151 – 300 | Rs. 1,218 – Rs. 2,400 | 2 kW |
301 – 450 | Rs. 2,408 – Rs. 3,600 | 3 kW |
451 – 750 | Rs. 3,608 – Rs. 6,000 | 5 kW |
751 – 1,500 | Rs. 6,008 – Rs. 12,000 | 10 kW |
Note: Per unit electricity cost = Rs. 8/- & Electricity generation by your on-grid solar = 5 units/day for every kW.

On-Grid Solar Net Metering Process
Net metering is an important factor after on-grid solar installation. This type of power plant requires a bi-directional meter or net meter which calculates the data of energy used from the grid and energy transferred to the grid.
After on-grid solar system installation, your electricity bills will be calculated based on the net metering process. Then you have to pay only for the difference between energy consumed by your household and energy produced by your solar system.
The net meter of your on-grid solar will be installed by your DISCOM and you have to pay an additional fee between Rs. 8,000 and Rs. 15,000 for net metering.
What Happens in On Grid System During Power Cut
An on-grid solar transfers the electricity produced to the power grids. But what happens if there is a power cut in your home?
An on-grid solar stops working during power cuts. This is the only drawback of on-grid solar power plants. On the other hand, this feature ensures the safety of electric workers.
If you need a solution to this problem, you can choose our hybrid solar system installation service.
Government Subsidy Scheme for On-Grid Solar Installation
Our government started an on-grid solar subsidy scheme to boost new on-grid solar installations. If you follow all the solar subsidy guidelines, you can get up to Rs. 78,000 as a subsidy.
Follow this table to learn about the recent solar subsidy structure:
System Capacity (KW) | Solar Subsidy (Rs.)* |
1 KW | Rs.30,000 |
2 KW | Rs.60,000 |
