ROOFTOP SOLAR POWER

Rooftop solar power plants are typically of small to medium capacities, ranging from a few kWs to usually less than a MW. Ground-mounted projects, on the other hand can run from 1 MW to 100+ W. However, the main difference between rooftop solar and solar farms is in the way the solar power generated is used. In the case of rooftop solar, the power generated is mostly consumed at the same site, with any small excess exported to the grid. A rooftop solar power plant is a distributed form of power generation, in which the power that is generated is consumed at, or very close to the point of generation. In this case hence, the electricity does not need the grid to be transmitted elsewhere
