Thus the system helps owners offset their energy consumption while generating income through the selling of surplus energy.<\/li>\n\n<li>Off-Grid Systems: These systems run independently from the power grid. They generate and store electricity in solar batteries and encourage the concept of off-grid living, which is a lifestyle that is centred around energy independence and self-sustainability. An off-grid system warrants a higher investment per setup when compared to grid-tied solar systems.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Components_Of_Solar_Power_Systems\"><\/span>Components Of Solar Power Systems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image blog-right-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aurorealty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-2.jpeg\" alt=\"aurorealty\" class=\"wp-image-8007\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>For the installation of a solar power system, you need solar panels, less popularly known as photovoltaic (PV) panels which are to be installed on the rooftop or other such suitable location from where it can successfully capture sunlight which will be then converted into electricity.<\/p>\n\n<p>Each solar panel is made up of multiple solar cells that generate direct current, and DC electricity. Solar Inverters are then set up and used to convert DC electricity into AC (Alternating Current) which we all can then use for our everyday use.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Financing_Option_and_Government_Incentives\"><\/span>Financing Option and Government Incentives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image blog-left-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/aurorealty.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-1.jpeg\" alt=\"aurorealty\" class=\"wp-image-8007\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Various incentives have been introduced by the Indian Government to encourage citizens to adopt solar energy. The Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is one such notable incentive which provides a substantial tax credit for homeowners who opt to install solar systems.
