SOLUTIONS
Grid-Tied Solar Systems
Connect directly to the utility grid for a cost-effective solar setup with net metering support to offset what you don't use.
BENEFITS
Why Choose This Solar Solution?
Simple Grid Connection
Connects directly to the utility grid using standard interconnection equipment, without the added complexity of battery storage.
Lower Upfront Cost
Without batteries in the system, grid-tied setups typically cost less upfront than hybrid or off-grid systems of similar capacity.
Offset Grid Consumption
Electricity generated on-site reduces the amount you purchase from the utility, with net-metering support where applicable to offset excess production.
Straightforward Maintenance
Fewer components than battery-based systems mean simpler, more predictable ongoing maintenance.
HOW IT WORKS
How This System Works
- 1
Solar panels generate electricity
Panels convert sunlight into electricity throughout the day.
- 2
The inverter prepares it for use
The inverter converts the electricity for immediate use on-site.
- 3
The grid balances supply and demand
Excess electricity may be exported to the utility grid where the applicable net-metering arrangement permits, and the system draws from the grid whenever on-site demand exceeds solar production. Grid-tied systems do not supply power during a grid outage unless paired with battery storage.

Utility Grid
Electricity can flow in both directions between the building and the grid where net metering applies.
Solar panels generate electricity that the inverter prepares for use in the building, with a direct connection to the utility grid.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
No. A grid-tied system is designed to shut down automatically during a grid outage for safety reasons, and does not supply backup power unless paired with battery storage. If backup power matters to you, consider a hybrid solar system.
Battery storage is not required for a grid-tied system. It's an optional addition — if you want backup power or more energy independence, a hybrid system may be a better fit.
Net metering allows excess electricity your system produces to be exported to the grid, where your utility's policy allows it. Availability and terms vary by provider and location, so we'll help confirm eligibility for your property.
Sizing is based on your historical electricity consumption, available installation space, and local solar conditions, confirmed during a site assessment.
Grid-tied systems have relatively few moving parts. Typical upkeep includes periodic panel cleaning and visual inspection.
