Why Does My Solar PV System Still Draw a Trickle of Energy from the Grid?
One of the main reasons your solar PV system still uses a bit of grid energy is due to the need for synchronisation. Your solar inverter, the device that converts the DC power generated by your panels into AC power that your home can use, must stay perfectly in sync with the grid to ensure that the electricity in your home is stable and reliable.

6 FAQs about [Solar energy and the grid]
Why should a solar PV system be connected to the grid?
For financial benefit. Connecting your solar PV system to the grid allows you to take advantage of the FIT, which gives you a fixed amount of money for each kWh of electricity you generate. On top of these payments for energy generation, you also receive a sum of money for feeding any surplus energy into the grid.
Can a solar PV system be connected to the National Grid?
While it is possible to have a solar PV system that is not connected to the National Grid, choosing not to connect means missing out on potentially lucrative incentive schemes like the government's Feed-In Tariff (FIT). Here is a list of FAQs on connecting to the National Grid.
How does solar power work?
Solar power works by converting energy from the sun into power. There are two forms of energy generated from the sun for our use – electricity and heat. Both are generated through the use of solar panels, which range in size from residential rooftops to ‘solar farms’ stretching over acres of rural land. Is solar power a clean energy source?
Can rooftop solar power a two-way grid?
However, systems like rooftop solar now require the grid to handle two-way electricity flow, as these systems can inject the excess power that they generate back into the grid. Increased solar and DER on the electrical grid means integrating more power electronic devices, which convert energy from one form to another.
What is a modern electrical grid?
Modern electrical grids are much more complex. In addition to large utility-scale plants, modern grids also involve variable energy sources like solar and wind, energy storage systems, power electronic devices like inverters, and small-scale energy generation systems like rooftop installations and microgrids.
How can solar energy be integrated?
By 2030, as much as 80% of electricity could flow through power electronic devices. One type of power electronic device that is particularly important for solar energy integration is the inverter. Inverters convert DC electricity, which is what a solar panel generates, to AC electricity, which the electrical grid uses.
