How grid interactive roof top solar PV systems work?

[SHAILESH ISHWARRAO TELANG]

Many countries in the world are using conventional energy sources to fulfill their electricity requirements. Conventional power generation involves burning of fossil fuels that releases Greenhouse gases (GHGs) resulting in global warming and climate change. For countries like India where coal is the dominant fossil fuel to generate electricity, the least GHG emission intensive option is the major requirement. Rooftop Solar PV system is the best option nowadays. Unlike MW scale solar PV projects, rooftop system uses very less space and is also cost effective. We all know that the major issue behind utility scale solar PV project is availability of land.

Rooftop Solar PV system: How it works?

Solar PV rooftop system is basically a small power plant at your rooftop. The Grid interactive Roof Top Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) mainly consists of three major components. These are the solar PV modules, mounting structure for the modules and the inverter or power conditioning units. Read more here
