On-grid solar systems connect directly to the IESCO grid, allowing you to use solar power during the day and grid power at night. With net metering, excess power is exported to the grid for credits.
How On-Grid Works
- Solar panels generate DC electricity
- Inverter converts DC to AC
- Power feeds your home first
- Excess goes to grid (meter runs backward)
- At night, you use grid power
- Monthly bill = Import - Export
Benefits
- Lowest Cost: No expensive batteries needed
- Net Metering: Earn credits for excess power
- Fast ROI: 3-4 year payback period
- Low Maintenance: Simple system, fewer components
Limitations
- No power during grid outages (safety requirement)
- Dependent on grid availability
- Best for areas with minimal load shedding
Ideal For
- Homes with low load shedding
- Maximum bill reduction goal
- Budget-conscious buyers
Pricing
- 5kW On-Grid: PKR 5.5 - 7 Lakh
- 10kW On-Grid: PKR 10 - 13 Lakh
