On-Grid Solar Systems

An on-grid (grid-tied) solar system works alongside your utility connection. Solar panels on your roof generate DC electricity, a grid-tie inverter converts it to AC, and the power is used by your loads first. Any surplus is exported to the grid through a bi-directional net meter, and you receive credit against future consumption. At night or on cloudy days, you simply draw from the grid — no batteries required.

• Urban and semi-urban homes with a reliable grid
• Schools, hospitals, and offices with daytime load
• Shops, showrooms, and small commercial units
• Housing societies with common-area consumption
• Factories running mostly during the day

The engineering breakdown — every major component we install and why. Click any card to expand.

• Shadow-free roof area (~100 sq ft per 1 kW)
• Structurally sound roof (RCC / metal / tiled)
• Sanctioned load / service connection with the DISCOM
• Feasibility for a bi-directional net meter
• South, south-east, or south-west orientation preferred

• Lowest upfront cost per kW
• Fastest payback — typically 3–5 years
• Net-metering credits reduce your bill by 80–95%
• No batteries: less maintenance, longer plant life
• Eligible for central and state subsidies
• 25-year panel performance warranty

Subsidy amounts and eligibility depend on MNRE and state DISCOM guidelines and are revised from time to time. AGSM Solar handles the full paperwork on your behalf.
