The term ‘grid’ refers to the electrical or utility grid feeding domestic and commercial buildings. In this post I explain what the terms mean and what the difference is between off-grid and grid-tie solar panel systems. The two main types of solar PV power systems are roof-mounted, on-grid (also known as ‘grid-tie’) and off-grid. Out of the three main systems for generating home electricity solar, wind and hydro, solar is by far the most common and easily accessible. In addition to this, small-scale hydro electric projects are being implemented in collaboration with private entrepreneurs.What is meant by off-grid and on-grid solar systems? Differences between on-grid and off-grid solar systems Biomass-based co-generation in the state sugar mills and rice husk based-electricity generation projects are being encouraged. Various capacity solar power plants are being installed for electricity generation from solar energy. From the beginning, the agency is also functioning as nodal agency for implementation of various schemes in the state.Įfforts are being made to develop the capacity in renewable energy sources such as solar energy, small-scale hydro electricity and biomass-based electricity production in the state. The institute has been renamed as 'Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy Development Agency (UPNEDA)'. In April 1983 Uttar Pradesh Government created Non- Conventional Energy Development Agency(NEDA) under the department of additional energy sources as an autonomous institution. Undoubtedly, now we are moving towards the goal which was envisaged at the time of formation of the agency. Work in the State is being carried out towards grid connected Solar Power Generation and rooftop power generation.

Along-with biomass and small hydro-electricity the ways are being paved for the establishment of major projects based on MW solar energy. New and greater chances are becoming apparent to participate in the mainstream of energy production. In view of limited conventional energy sources and their limited exploitation and increasing environmental pollution production of energy based on new and renewable energy sources and is being given high priority and promotion. Welcome to Uttar Pradesh New and Renewable Energy AgencysĮnergy demand has been increasing steadily along with the development of the state.
