nounpl: on-grid systems
sistema conectado à rede

The on-grid system generates excess electricity that is fed back to the utility company.

2. An energy generation system that relies on connection to the central power distribution network rather than functioning independently
An on-grid system is more cost-effective than an off-grid system for most urban homes.

The on-grid system has become increasingly important in Brazil due to government incentives for renewable energy adoption, particularly solar installations in residential areas. In the USA, these systems benefit from net metering policies that credit homeowners for excess power generated. The terminology 'on-grid' is used globally in the renewable energy industry, though Portuguese-speaking regions may translate this as 'conectado à rede' or 'ligado à rede' depending on local preference.
