HOW IT WORKS
A Grid-Tied solar system connects directly to the electrical grid through a two-way meter typically installed for residential, commercial, or utility applications. These systems are usually installed for financial pay-back while simultaneously contributing sustainable, renewable energy to the grid.
These systems use an inverter to convert the Direct Current (DC) from the panels into Alternating Current (AC). The AC current is then fed onto the electrical grid.
Your local utility company bills you for the difference of what was used and what was produced.
These are the most common solar systems found on households across the US, as they are primarily for reducing an electric bill and not having back-up power in the event that the grid goes down. Grape Solar will help size your grid-tied/interactive solar system before referring a certified PV installer to provide installation services in your area.
