Grid-connected photovoltaic systems are based on the principle of consuming the generated electricity in the place of production rather than storage in batteries. The amount of energy required to be produced or the amount of energy required is determined during the project. DC electric energy is produced by the contact of the solar rays coming from the atmosphere on the solar modules. The energy produced is connected to the central city network with the high cycle power, inverters that can be connected to the central network. Thus, the energy generated from the panels is sent directly to the grid system. If the field and radiation conditions are suitable, it is possible to provide the desired power electricity generation with the electricity generation system connected to the grid. Electricity generation by solar energy is an easy-to-install energy production tool, and it is the preferred choice for long-lasting, non-operating costs, practical and mobile reasons.

Basic components of the system

• Photovoltaic Panel

• Invertör

• Bidirectional counter (Network counter).

Grid-connected systems can be installed at high power-plant size, or can be installed in smaller power installations for domestic needs. For example, in these systems, the electricity requirement of a house can be met while the excess energy produced is supplied to the electricity grid, and in cases where sufficient energy is not produced, energy is taken from the network. There is no need to store energy in such a system, it is sufficient that only the generated DC electricity is converted into AC electricity and network compatible.

Advantages of grid connected systems

• There is no additional cost for storage, as storage in the system will not be used.
• Since there will be consumption near the system and there is no storage, there will be a minimum amount of loss due to less energy cycle.
• Since the energy produced is connected to the grid, when the energy produced is not enough, the network will be activated and the energy will feed the load completely.
• The system has the flexibility to design according to the desired amount or area as it is not a necessity to meet the whole of the load while designing the system.
• If the area is sufficient, the installed capacity of the system can be increased.
