Solar Energy in Aligarh
Solar energy is becoming an increasingly important option for homes, commercial buildings, institutions and industries looking to generate electricity from their rooftops.
A typical rooftop solar system uses photovoltaic (PV) modules to convert sunlight into electricity.
Types of solar systems
1. On-grid solar
An on-grid system is connected to the electricity grid.
It is generally suitable where:
- Grid electricity is available
- The customer wants to reduce electricity bills
- Battery backup is not the primary requirement
2. Off-grid solar
An off-grid system operates with battery storage and can be useful where grid electricity is unavailable or unreliable.
3. Hybrid solar
A hybrid system combines solar generation, grid electricity and battery storage.
It can be considered when the customer wants both bill reduction and backup power.
Greenedge also publishes a detailed comparison of on-grid, off-grid and hybrid solar systems.
How much solar capacity do you need?
The correct system size depends on:
- Monthly electricity consumption
- Available rooftop area
- Electricity tariff
- Daytime electricity consumption
- Roof orientation and shading
- Desired savings
- Budget
For example, a household consuming considerably more electricity should not select a system merely because it is the most commonly advertised size.
Why site survey matters
A professional solar survey should evaluate:
Roof area + shadow + orientation + structure + electricity connection + load + meter arrangement.
