PV panel at the Roof of the House is called as Rooftop Solar System. A typical rooftop solar power system has electricity-generating photovoltaic panels, commonly known as solar panels, on top of a house or building, which includes a proper connection of Battery & inverter as required.

On-Grid System – These systems are designed to work in conjunction with the grid or simply put your electricity supply. The electricity you generate using this system is fed back to the grid. A net meter is installed along with this system to keep track of the electricity consumed by you versus what you generated and fed back to the grid resulting in savings which gets reflected in the bill. It best suitable for School, collage and offices.

Off-Grid System –  These systems store the electricity produced by conversion in batteries and utilise the stored energy by converting it back to AC as and when required. The rising cost of other power sources and the increasing demand of electricity, especially in high power cut or no grid areas, has resulted in increased demand for such systems. The reduction in battery prices over the years has further brought the system cost down.

What is the difference between off grid and on grid solar panels?
What is the difference between On-grid and off-grid solar power? On-grid means your solar system is tied to your local utility’s GRID. … Being off-grid means you are not connected in any way to your grid’s power system or utility company. This is appealing because you are 100% self-sustaining your energy use.

What a Rooftop Solar system Consist of :-
1. Solar Panels – Solar panels are those devices which are used to absorb the sun’s rays and convert them into electricity or heat. Most solar panels are made up using crystalline silicon solar cells.
2. Inverter – The most crucial component of a residential solar power plant is an inverter. It acts as an interface which converts power produced by solar panels into electricity, that can be consumed by appliances.
3. Mounting – It is the most critical part as it acts as the skeleton for the entire system, a sturdy structure will result in years of power generation as it needs to withstand strong winds and other natural forces.
4. Cables – Specialized cables custom made for residential solar power plants are used to ensure minimal loss of electricity being generated.
5. Peripherals – These are the elements which are essential for proper functioning and safety of the system. No compromise must be made on their quality or it will jeopardise the entire solar power system.
6. Batteries – If you are going for an off grid solar solution, solar batteries are one of the crucial components as they allow you to store the electricity generated by the solar plant and use it in case of power outages or in case of no mains.
