Solar Power for Your House FAQ and On Grid Vs Off Grid System

In this video I talk about the Solar Plant we have and answer some of the common questions about the same. There are actually 2 different types of Solar plants that you can put one if the On-Grid system and the other off-grid system and I talk about them as we have both these systems.

UPDATE: I would not recommend this company from where we got this solar installation done our other relatives also went with them paid the full amount in late 2020 and still there solar system has not been activated after 2+ years. I understand the covid situation but now things are normal and my relatives said they are trying to contact them from past 6 months but they rarely respond and still give excuses to them. So based on this experience I can't recommend them.

Biggest disadvantage of on Grid: Board official who come to your house for taking a note of 2way electricity are most of time confused and takes down the wrong amount Resultingly you have to go every month to the electricity board with your track of electricity made/consumed to get the bill right At least this is the case with me, every month the units actually made and the ones shown in the bill differ a lot

[@APNARBANDHU]

Biggest disadvantage of on Grid Solar System is the dependency on Power Supply. If there is power cut in your area then it will stop working and will not produce electricity and send the same to Grid during the period of power cut. Further, investment in solar system in India is not mathematically viable in India specifically for those who are willing to save money by investing in solar system. Payback period of on-grid solar system is more than 8.5 years if you consider the opportunity cost of the investment (i.e. return from alternative investment, if you would have invested the expenditure involved in other means) . Further, in case of off-grid system it will never be paid back. If there is frequent power cut in your area and if you are thinking for Inverter system then only you should invest in such system. For your information I am also having an 1 KV Off Grid System since mid of 2019.

[@nishantmehta9119]

Does the residents get paid for electricity which hi is sending to electricity board??🤔🤔

[@geekyranjit]

Technically yes.... but it's adjusted in the bill that's why we get very less electricity bill after installing the on-grid system.

[@geekyranjit]

@Nishant To give you a rough idea.... let's say your total power consumption for a month is 1000 units but your on-grid solar plant produced 800 units of elecrticity you will pay only for the 200 units to the electricity board. Let's say you produced 1200 units and only used 1000 units so electricity dept pays you for excess 200 units but at a very discounted rate of Rs 2.5 - 3 per units (varies from state to state).

Lots of confusion with what can we do with power cut situation.

i have a question sir!. is there any additional subsidy for the electricity we send back to the electricity board, or is it included in the initial subsidy offered by the government during installation of the on-grid solar system?

[@surbhitmathur6484]

You get paid for every unit of electricity you send back. Initial subsidy will not be recovered from you. Consider it as a discount and not like loan which will be recovered. Even if you have off grid system ( you are not sending any electricity to the govt.) then too u will get initial subsidy

[@APNARBANDHU]

@@surbhitmathur6484 There is no subsidy in off grid system in any State in India.

No additional subsidy will be provided for the electricity send back to the electricity board. However, you will not get 100% of generation of your system. Though it depends on DISCOM of State . The production of electricity is adjusted in your bill only.

We recently got government subsidized solar system with 2000watt panels and 2kva Utl Mttp pcu. We additionally bought 4 150ah batteries(batteries are additional to make it both on-grid and off-grid,). Net metering system is also included. Also chemical earthing was done by them with lightening arrester installed also. Total cost was about 1.1 lakh rupees. It was totally worth as we run 2 gaming pc's, 1 refrigerator and 50" tv at the same time with only about 50% usage. And all these run directly on solar panels during peak sunlight while charging the batteries too. In short,worth every penny. The only regret is that we should have bought 3kva with 3000watt panels and 3kva pcu for only 20k extra. Highly regret it. If you have any questions , you can ask me below

[@coolchida1234]

So in off grid system, does panels store enough sunlight during the day and can we use the excess power during night?

[@GeraltOfRivia69]

Yes,it can charge all four batteries in half a day. You can also use mains power at night. Just connect the pcu with mains,it is so smart,it won't charge the batteries at night but will only bypass the mains. If the batteries are low,only then it will charge them
