Grid-Tie
Photos
A basic grid-tie system consists
of solar panels or a wind turbine and a grid-tie inverter.
Once installed, the inverter converts the power generated
by your solar array or wind turbine to utility grade AC power
for use in your home or business. Any excess power is seamlessly sold
back
to your utility company. For grid-connected homes and business,
inverters offer utility interactive power electronics that can literally
spin your meter backwards. Connecting
the sun/wind to your utility meter is a simple way to increase green
energy production and improve the environment.
