    Many people have shifted to renewable energy solutions as technology has advanced at an ever-increasing rate. In the past 10 years, there have been numerous adopters of wind energy, solar energy, and hydroelectric energy. Why? Because they are more affordable and readily available resources that don’t disrupt the planet’s ecological equilibrium.

    India ranks fifth in wind power, fourth in solar power, and fifth in the output of renewable energy, according to the Indian Renewable Energy Industry report.

    Solar Energy as a Renewable Source

    One of the world’s most desirable markets for renewable energy is India. The main factor influencing economic development, urbanization, industrialization, and societal standards of living is electricity. Since wind and hydroelectric power are unpredictable, solar energy is a more reliable energy source than those two. As a result, the combined use of renewable energy sources is chosen over other non-renewable energy sources.

    Three main categories of solar power systems exist:

    • On-Grid: Grid-tie or a grid-feed solar system are other names for an on-grid solar system.
    • Off-Grid: Stand-alone is another name for it
    • Hybrid: It includes on-grid and off-grid components. It enables grid connectivity and has solar power in addition to battery storage.

    What is the operation of an on-grid solar power system?

    A solar power generation system that is connected to the utility grid is known as an on-grid solar. This indicates that the grid receives the electricity generated. This system is hassle-free to install, economical to use, and simple to maintain.

    How it operates: The solar panels you have put at your property collect solar energy and transform it into direct electricity (DC). The solar converter then transforms this direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC), which is subsequently supplied through a grid for everyday usage and powers the electrical appliances we use in our homes and offices.

    How has the on-grid system revolutionized the solar industry?

    Consumers want gadgets and equipment that are convenient and low maintenance in the period of rapid advancement in every field. All solar panels operate according to the same fundamental principles, and on-grid solar is favored for installation in residences, workplaces, and commercial structures.

    Solar energy has the potential to prevent carbon footprints in the years to come and assist people in making the transfer to a greener and cleaner future since a growing percentage of consumers are happy to make the switch. We must maximize solar energy’s potential because it is widely available. Although there are many different types of systems implemented globally, on-grid solar power systems are the most popular.

    There are many advantages to on-grid solar systems:

    • Lightweight and simple to keep up – It is simple to set up, install, and keep up. There are no batteries that need to be continuously changed. It is hence a low-maintenance choice.
    • Income generation – If there is additional electricity produced, a consumer can return it to the grid and receive payment. The electricity generated and extra electricity generated can help him save money and generate passive income, respectively.

    Benefits of on-grid solar energy for larger enterprises

    • You can cut your electricity costs.
    • You may also be eligible for government subsidies if you have an on-grid solar power system; in India, these subsidies vary from state to state.
    • The surplus solar energy can be exported back to the grid and profited from.
    • The system doesn’t need batteries to function.
    • Depending on the installed system’s capacity, your return on investment will probably come in less time—between 3 and 5 years.
    • Your one-time investment will last for a long time, perhaps 25 to 30 years.

    What is Net-Metering and how it works:

    Under a net-metering scheme, you are permitted to sell any extra solar energy you produce through a system installed on your property back into the utility grid. You are ultimately paid back for the excess energy that you haven’t used when you export the electricity through net metering. After that, it is offset by the upcoming bills. The amount you can save through net-metering depends on your consumption as well as the capacity of your solar system.

    It is imperative to convert to renewable energy sources on a wide scale in order to make the change noticeable and reduce the negative impacts of global warming. It is our duty to leave a better climate, cleaner air, and a more sustainable environment for the next generation. We must take serious measures to reduce our carbon footprints and leave the earth in a better state for our future generations while keeping the current situation in mind.

    Conclusion

    The amount of solar energy produced in India has greatly increased, going from 2.63 GW in 2014 to 33 GW in December 2019. India ranks fifth in the field of renewable energy and sixth in terms of solar power capacity. Solar energy adoption has significantly increased as a result of the government’s push to raise awareness, run campaigns, and introduce new programmers. India is now the second most alluring market for renewable energy in the world.

    In terms of the development of renewable energy, India is a game-changer. Investors assert that the Indian government’s backing has improved the field of renewable energy. India appears to be powered by solar energy, which is what makes the country so brilliant.

    Solar energy as a renewable energy has come a long way in sustainable development and in making a safer future. On-grid solar systems allow you to reduce your electricity costs while maintaining total reliance on the grid to power your house or business. GSE Renewables is committed to facilitating investment in Renewable Energy Projects in India that is clean and sustainable to businesses.
