When an institution is powered by ON GRID SOLAR system, the solar panels will continue to produce power during the entire day. The solar panels convert the sunlight into direct current (DC) which is later converted to alternate current (AC) by a solar inverter that is connected to the system. The inverter routes the alternate current back to the grid where is it used for daily usage. The on grid solar system is not supported with a battery and hence, the grid supports the storage of the current. The generated power can be used either to power the household or can be exported to the utility grid that it is connected to. When there is a power deficit at the panels, the power is extracted from the grid to supply to its deficit and this way, one shall never find power shortage. There is an ensured continuous supply of power.

An important feature of this system is the NET METER. This device records the energy generated and supplied to the grid along with the energy consumed. The most beneficial part of the system is that the user not only cuts on their electricity bills, but also earns from the excess power they supply to the grid.
