Rooftop On Grid, Off Grid and Hybrid Photovoltaic systems.

A solar rooftop is also often referred to as a rooftop photovoltaic power station. It is a photovoltaic system which comprises of electricity generating solar panels. These solar panels are mounted on the top of residential and commercial buildings. In this context, it is interesting to note that the rooftop photovoltaic systems or PV systems have a capacity of around 5 to 25 kilowatts. The ones that are mounted on top of commercial buildings can often reach more than 25 to 1000 kilowatts.

With photovoltaic systems installed on your roof, your electricity bills would be drastically reduced. It is because of the fact that you would need less electricity from the grid. Interestingly, in the coming years, the cost of electricity from the grid is also expected to rise. This would also enhance your cost savings. Furthermore, solar rooftops are the best way to care for the environment. The reason for this is that solar energy is one of the cleanest forms of energy available. On the other hand, when your solar rooftop system comprising of solar panels is producing more electricity than you are utilizing, you can send back that excess power to the grid. This would help you to get a credit from the local electricity board.

Here is the list of various types of solar rooftop along with their prices for various KW ratings.

The on-grid system is also known as a solar power generation system where the PV system is directly connected to the grid. The electricity produced by this type of system is directly transferred to the electrical service provider. The installation process of this kind of rooftop solar system is quite hassle-free. The usual price of Solar PV rooftop system varies between Rs 40,000/kWp and Rs 80,000/kWp currently, depends on capacity of the system and quality of solution.

It is a commonly observed fact that an off-grid solar system is one of the obvious options to the one which is grid-tied. Moreover, in order to make sure that there is access to electricity, the off-grid solar systems usually make use of a storage and backup generator. The price of off-grid solar system stays between Rs 75,000/kWp and Rs 1,15,000/kWp currently, depends on capacity of system and quality of solution.

A hybrid rooftop solar system is the combination of the grid tied and off grid solar systems. Hence, these systems are usually known as off-grid solar systems with the utility of backup power. They are also known as grid tied solar which comes with extra battery storage. The standard price of hybrid rooftop solar system usually varies between Rs 80,000/kWp and Rs 1,50,000/kWp depends on capacity of system and quality of solution.
