Why Go Solar

Savings with On-grid System

The following calculations make clear, installing an on-grid solar system is a financially smart move for homeowners and businesses alike. Let’s walk you through typical performance metrics and savings for on-grid solar panels for your home:

01
A 5 kW on-grid solar system on a well-oriented rooftop in Mumbai or Pune can generate roughly 7,000 units per year.
02
If your electricity tariff is around ₹8/unit, you’ll save ~ ₹56,000 per year.
03
Suppose you invest ~₹3,70,000. At ₹56,000 savings per year, your payback period is around 6.6 years.
04
After that, the next 15-20 years of generation deliver nearly free electricity.
05
Over 25 years, total savings could exceed ₹14-18 lakhs, factoring in tariff inflation of ~3-5% annually.
06
Because on-grid systems don’t require battery storage, you also avoid battery replacement costs, further improving ROI.

What is an On-Grid Solar Panel System?

An on-grid solar panel system (also called a grid-tied or grid-connected solar system) is a setup where photovoltaic (PV) panels generate DC electricity from sunlight, which is converted by an inverter into AC electricity and fed into your home load.

Excess power is exported to the utility grid through a bi-directional meter, and when your solar generation is insufficient (e.g., during night or heavy clouds) you draw power from the grid.

Components Used in On-grid System

Here are the main components of a standard on-grid solar panel system:

• Solar PV Panels
• On-Grid Inverter
• Solar Mounting Structure
• DC-AC Combiner Box & Protection
• Bi-directional Net Meter
• Wiring, Earthing, Wiring Accessories
• Real-time Monitoring System

Advantages & Disadvantages of On-grid System

Advantages:
• Lower upfront cost because no battery is required.
• High return on investment due to net-metering and export of surplus units.
• Low maintenance (just panels + inverter + monitoring).
• Simple design, fast commissioning for homes and businesses.
• Environmentally friendly: generates clean solar electricity and reduces utility dependency.

Disadvantages:
• Dependence on grid being available: in case of grid outages, most standard on-grid systems halt output. If state net-metering policies are weak or incentivised poorly, savings may be lower.
• Rooftop space constraints or heavy shading can reduce generation.
• System performance degrades over years, though good panels keep that minimal (~<4% per year).
• Requires utility approvals and paperwork for net-metering, added lead time.

On-grid vs Off-grid System, Which is better?

On-Grid System connects to the grid, exports surplus; typically the lowest cost per kW. Best for homes and offices with reliable grid supply and day-life load.

Off-Grid System does not tie to the grid; includes batteries; higher cost but gives independence from utility. Additional battery replacement costs every 5–10 years; shorter lifespan of some components; ROI may be longer.

Which is better?
On-Grid is better for typical urban homes or societies in metro cities with stable grid, lower upfront cost, faster payback, simpler maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

PureUrja for On-grid Solar Panel System

What is the cost of an on-grid solar system for a typical 5 kW rooftop?

A 5 kW on-grid system in India typically costs around ₹2.95 lakhs to ₹3.70 lakhs before subsidy; effective cost after subsidy may be lower.

How many units will a 5 kW on-grid solar system generate annually?

Roughly 7,000 units per year in good rooftop conditions (≈580 units/month) for a 5 kW system.

What savings can I expect on my electricity bill?

If tariff is ₹8/unit and system generates 7,000 units/year, you may save ~₹56,000 annually. Actual savings depend on local tariff and solar generation.

How soon will my on-grid solar system pay for itself?

Typical payback period for 5 kW is around 5-7 years, with remaining 18-20 years of free electricity.

Are batteries required for on-grid solar systems?

No. Standard on-grid systems do not use batteries, which keeps upfront and maintenance costs lower.

Can I export surplus solar power to the grid?

Yes, via net-metering, any surplus power your panels generate can be credited by the utility (subject to state DISCOM policy).

What happens during a grid outage with on-grid solar?

Standard on-grid systems may shut down during outage (for safety). If you need backup during blackouts, a hybrid or off-grid system would be better.

Will my rooftop be strong enough for solar panel installation?

PureUrja team will conduct a structural assessment of your roof (“roof load audit”) to ensure it can safely support the panels and mounting structure.

What is the lifespan of an on-grid solar panel system?

High-quality solar PV modules typically last 25+ years with warranties; inverters may need replacement after ~10-15 years; mounting structure often lasts 20-25 years.

How can I get started with an on-grid solar installation by PureUrja?

Contact us for a free rooftop survey and energy audit. We’ll design a customised system, show cost and savings, and manage installation until grid-tie commissioning — so you can start generating solar electricity quickly.

Your Power. Your Planet.
