They offer a range of solar systems to suit different energy needs and provide installation services. As solar technology becomes more affordable, it has emerged as a viable renewable energy source to help reduce utility expenses.
Is grid-tied solar worth it?
Grid-tied solar systems work with your home’s power supply to deliver energy. Its design allows it to know when power is available and synchronize power delivery. Most owners should choose grid-tied solar because it’s the most cost-effective. You may go off-grid if you live remotely, don’t use much electricity, and can invest in complete backup. Hybrid systems make sense if you’re ineligible for net metering, have peak rates, and want outage protection.
We only sell grid-tied solar but consider pros and cons of both so you can meet your goals. Grid-tied is less expensive since batteries aren’t needed. It works if you can’t install a system to cover all usage. You can still use grid electricity if needed. The investment tax credit is expiring so connect with an installer soon.
You can also go off-grid or use solar battery and stay tied to the grid. A grid tied system is usually best economically for homes and businesses. You never run out of power as long as the grid runs. There are three main components: solar panels produce DC electricity; inverters convert DC to usable AC; excess energy is sent back to the grid to offset electricity bills.
Transitioning to grid-tied systems is an impactful way to make a difference for your wallet and the planet. Cost savings are a persuasive reason to invest. Grid-tie connects directly to the grid, allowing excess energy to offset bills. Savings depend on system size and energy use.
Grid-tied solar is preferred for properties with access to power lines. Your panels feed the grid, distributing energy to others. Grid-tied systems source electricity from both solar and the grid, using solar during the day and grid at night. Adding solar is one of the best home investments for savings over time.
