Let's break the term Grid-Connected Rooftop Solar PV System into three parts: Solar PV System: A system comprising of photo-voltaic (PV) modules aka solar panels which convert particles of sunlight into electricity we can use (actually Direct Current). Solar PV system is also known as solar power system. Rooftop Solar : When these solar panels are mounted or installed on the roof top of a building, this type of configuration is refereed to as rooftop solar. It could be any type of building - residential, commercial or industrial. Grid Connected Solar System is also known as Grid-Tied or On-Grid Solar System.
