GRID-TIE SOLAR SYSTEM
A grid-tie solar energy system, also known as a grid-connected solar system, is a type of solar power system that generates electricity from sunlight and feeds it directly into the electrical grid. This system allows homeowners and businesses to produce their own clean energy and sell any excess back to the utility company.
Key Components of a Grid-Tie Solar Energy System:
1. Solar Panels: Convert sunlight into DC (direct current) electricity.
3. Inverter: Converts DC power from the solar panels into AC (alternating current) electricity, which is usable in homes and businesses.
4. Mounting System: Secures the solar panels to the roof or ground.
5. Grid Tie Inverter: Synchronizes the AC power from the inverter with the electrical grid, allowing for seamless integration.
6. Net Meter: Measures the amount of electricity produced and consumed, tracking any excess energy fed back into the grid.
