- Solar panels generate electricity in DC
- Grid-tied Inverter coverts DC to AC
- AC is used to run home appliances
- Excess electricity is fed back to the grid
- When homeowners want more electricity than is being produced by solar panels, they can buy this from the grid
SOLAR SYSTEM OPTIONS EXPLAINED
Your customers can choose between two Solar Power Systems: Grid-Tied and Hybrid
GRID-TIED SYSTEM
A grid-tied inverter converts Direct Current (DC) electricity generated from the solar panels to Alternating Current (AC) electricity, that can be used to power electrical appliances in the home.
Unused electricity is fed into the electrical grid. An inverter is one of the most important pieces of equipment in a solar energy system.
HYBRID SYSTEM
This system includes a battery which can store the excess electricity generated from solar panels. This stored energy can be used to power the property at times when solar panels don’t generate enough electricity.
It can also store electricity it’s able to take directly from the grid, taking advantage of energy produced at cheaper rates provided by the property’s electricity provider.
