Noon-Day Time period
During the daytime, when the sun is at its peak, your solar
system generate a higher power than what you are consuming
at that time.
The applications in the house will prioritize using
electricity generated by the solar system.
The excess generation will be exported back to the grid, and
you will receive solar credits based on how much is
exported. (It will vary in NSW area for sun tax policy.)
Early morning and late afternoon period
During this period, your house might have higher power
consumption because the sun is not as strong.
The solar system will supply all it generates to your side,
and the rest of the demand will be met by purchasing power
from the grid.
If you have a battery system, it will be another energy
backup system for you.
Night time period
Unless you have battery, all of electricty you used at night
will be from grid.
However, since you have solar credits gained during daytime
period, your majority bill during night time will be coverd
by solar credits if you install a big enough system.
