Grid Tied Solar Power System

Let s look closer at the benefits and downsides of grid tied off grid and hybrid solar systems.

Grid tied solar power system.

A grid tied electrical system also called tied to grid or grid tie system is a semi autonomous electrical generation or grid energy storage system which links to the mains to feed excess capacity back to the local mains electrical grid when insufficient electricity is available electricity drawn from the mains grid can make up the shortfall. A grid tied solar system generates energy from the sun and stores it in the utility grid so you can use it anytime you need it. Grid tied on grid utility interactive grid intertie and grid backfeeding are all terms used to describe the same concept a solar system that is connected to the utility power grid. They don t include any battery storage they use the grid as a battery instead.

Conversely when excess electricity is available. That means that when a grid tied system produces more power than the home needs the surplus power isn t wasted. This is not the case. The grid tie inverter enables a two way transfer of power between the home s solar powered system and the grid.

The grape solar 12 panel 3600 watt grid tied solar power the grape solar 12 panel 3600 watt grid tied solar power kit can generate between 2 600 kwh and 6 100 kwh of electricity per year. Unlike other power generators there are no mechanical moving components therefore maintenance is virtually non existent. If you have access to the utility grid and your main concern is getting the most value from your investment grid tied solar is the way to go.
