The advantages of an Ongrid solar plant can be briefly summarized as follows:
Cost-effective: Once installed, there is a ‘ZERO’ fuel cost in generating electricity from the sun, as sunlight is available for free. Although the initial setup cost may seem to be high the cost/unit works out to less than Rs. 2/- unit and the long-term benefits are substantial. This means a whopping savings of Rs. 4/- to Rs. 5/Unit.
Cash Outflow Can be substantially reduced: If the bank loan is taken (which we will get done), then you can have the solar plant by total investment from pocket of only 30% to 35%, the rest amount gets paid by solar energy savings.
Low Maintenance: Solar panels require very little maintenance as they have no moving parts. They can last for up to 25 years with proper maintenance and cleaning.
Energy Independence: Solar plants can help reduce dependence on foreign oil and other non-renewable sources of energy, providing energy independence and security.
Long Lifespan: Solar panels can last for up to 25 years with proper maintenance and cleaning, making them a reliable and long-lasting option for energy generation.
Silent Operation: Solar panels operate silently, which means they do not produce any noise pollution. This is particularly useful in residential areas.
Renewable Energy: Solar energy is a renewable energy source that does not deplete like non-renewable sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This means that it can be used indefinitely, making it a sustainable and reliable source of energy.
Scalability: Solar plants can be easily scaled up or down depending on the energy demand. This makes them a flexible and versatile option for energy generation.
Environmentally Friendly: Solar energy is a clean source of energy that does not emit harmful greenhouse gases or pollutants into the environment, making it an environmentally friendly option.
It is undisputed that On-Grid Solar plants are very beneficial for most premises who want to reduce their electricity bill. However, it should be noted that the Ongrid solar plants have the limitations that in case of grid failure they require a reference voltage to generate.
