An on-grid solar system is a grid (Government electricity supply) connected system. This solar system will run your home appliances or connected load (without any limit) by using solar power. If your connected load will exceed the capacity of the installed solar power plant, the system will automatically use the power from the main grid. In case, your connected load is less than the
The cost of solar PV panels is greater than that of TEGs if capacity factor is considered. TEG devices have a capacity factor of ~99%, and so the net cost of solar PV panels at a capacity factor comparable to a TEG system would be about $15,250/kW. Note that the cost comparison of TEG with solar PV is actually unfair to TEG.

The average cost of BOS and installation for PV systems is in the range of USD 1.6 to USD 1.85/W, depending on whether the PV system is ground-mounted or rooftop, and whether it has a tracking system (Bony, 2010 and Photon, 2011). The LCOE of PV systems is therefore highly dependent on BOS and installation costs, which include:
The cost of PV electricity is currently at about 149 ₤/MWh for the smallest-scale and 51 ₤/MWh for large-scale PV systems, already lower than the wholesale price of electricity, with PV systems predicted to get cheaper by 40%–50% until 2035.
