An on-grid solar power plant uses photovoltaic panels to convert sunlight into electricity, which is then used by homes or businesses and fed into the public electricity grid. Excess energy can be sent back to the grid, potentially earning credits through a system called net metering. These systems provide a consistent power supply by relying on the grid for backup, acting as a large virtual battery to cover energy needs when solar production is insufficient.
