How Grid-Tie Solar Works
Grid-tie solar systems are the most common type of solar system. They are connected to the electrical grid, which means that they can send excess electricity back to the grid when your home is not using it. This can help you save money on your electricity bills.
A grid-tie solar system consists of the following components:
Solar panels: Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity.
Inverter: The inverter converts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used by your home and the electrical grid.
Meter: The meter measures the amount of electricity that your home uses and the amount of electricity that your solar system produces.
When the sun shines, the solar panels generate electricity. The inverter converts the DC electricity from the solar panels into AC electricity that can be used by your home. If your home is using more electricity than the solar panels are generating, the electrical grid will provide the additional electricity. If your home is using less electricity than the solar panels are generating, the excess electricity will be sent back to the electrical grid with Net Metering.
At the end of each month, your utility company will bill you for the amount of electricity that you used from the electrical grid. However, if you sent more electricity back to the grid than you used, you may receive a credit on your bill. The amount of the credit will depend on your utility company's net metering policy.
Grid-tie solar systems are a great way to save money on your electricity bills and reduce your carbon footprint. If you're considering going solar, a grid-tie system is a good option to consider.
Here are some of the benefits of grid-tie solar systems:
Save money on your electricity bills: Grid-tie solar systems can help you save money on your electricity bills by generating electricity from the sun. The amount of money you save will depend on the size of your solar system, the amount of sunlight your home receives, and your utility rates.
Reduce your carbon footprint: Solar energy is a clean, renewable source of energy that doesn't produce any emissions. By going solar, you can help reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner environment.
Easy to install: Grid-tie solar systems are relatively easy to install. The installation process can usually be completed in a few days.
Reliable: Grid-tie solar systems are very reliable. They can continue to generate electricity even during cloudy days.
