Grid-Tie System

Grid-Tie System Capabilities

A Grid-Tie Solar System is designed to work in tandem with the utility grid, providing a seamless way to integrate solar energy into your home's power supply. Grid-tie solar systems operate directly connected to the utility grid; the solar panels generate electricity during the day, while any excess power is sent to the grid, potentially earning you credits through net metering. At night or during cloudy days, you draw power from the grid. However, a grid-tie solar system does not provide power during a grid outage unless paired with a battery backup. The main benefit to this type of system is lower installation costs coupled with potential savings on your electricity bill. These systems are ideal for homeowners looking to reduce their utility bills with minimal upfront investment.
