A solar on grid system, also known as a grid tied solar PV system, is a highly efficient and cost-effective solution for homes and businesses in Sri Lanka. In this setup, solar panels generate electricity during the day and directly power your home or business through a solar inverter. Any excess energy is automatically exported to the national grid under net metering, net accounting, or net plus schemes, allowing you to earn credits or financial returns. Since this system operates without batteries, it remains simple, low in maintenance, and more affordable compared to hybrid or off grid systems.

On grid systems depend on the national grid as their backup source. During a grid outage, the system shuts down for safety reasons, and electricity will not be available until the supply is restored. Despite this limitation, solar on grid systems are ideal for customers who want to reduce electricity bills, maximize daytime solar usage, and benefit from export-based tariff schemes. They offer excellent efficiency, strong financial savings, and long-term sustainability for both residential and commercial applications.
