Product details

An on-grid (grid-tied) solar system is a photovoltaic setup directly connected to the local utility grid, allowing users to consume solar power while feeding excess energy back into the grid for credit via net metering. These systems are efficient, requiring no batteries, and are primarily used to reduce electricity bills for residential or commercial properties. Key Components and Functionality Solar Panels: Convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. Grid-tied Inverter: Converts DC into alternating current (AC) for household use and synchronizes with the grid. Net Meter/Bidirectional Meter: Tracks both electricity consumed from the grid and excess electricity exported to it. No Battery Backup: If the grid goes down, these systems turn off for safety (anti-islanding), meaning they do not provide power during a blackout.
