How On-Grid Rooftop Solar Works in Kerala

An on-grid solar plant uses the public utility (KSEB) as your battery bank. During daytime hours, the solar array produces electricity for your household. Any excess energy is automatically pushed into the KSEB power lines through an official bi-directional net meter.

1. Daytime Generation

Tier-1 N-Type TOPCon panels convert Kerala sunlight into clean DC power, which is inverted to standard 230V AC.

2. KSEB Net Metering

Excess units generated are exported to the KSEB grid and banked into your account to offset night-time consumption.

3. Near-Zero Bills

At the end of your billing cycle, you pay only for net consumed units. Most homeowners pay only the minimum fixed charge.

Frequently Asked Questions — On-Grid Solar

What is an on-grid solar system?

An on-grid solar system is directly synchronized with the KSEB power grid. It does not require expensive battery banks because surplus electricity is exported to the grid through a net meter and retrieved whenever you need power.

How much subsidy can I get under PM Surya Ghar?

The Central Government provides up to ₹78,000 direct bank transfer subsidy for residential systems: ₹33,000 for 1kW, ₹66,000 for 2kW, and ₹78,000 for 3kW and higher. Solis Green handles 100% of the portal filing and documentation.

Does an on-grid system work during KSEB power cuts?

No. By Indian electricity safety regulations (anti-islanding), an on-grid inverter immediately shuts down when the grid fails to prevent back-feeding and protect KSEB maintenance linesmen. If you need power during blackouts, consider a Hybrid Solar System with lithium battery backup.

What is the payback period for on-grid solar in Kerala?

With monthly savings averaging between ₹3,500 and ₹4,500 for a 3kW plant, the total payback period is typically 2.5 to 3.5 years. Once paid off, you enjoy more than 20 years of virtually free green energy.
