Grid tie System

 

What is a Grid Tie system and how does it work? Your solar panels will produce DC (Direct Current) electricity. This electricity will be run through an inverter to produce AC (Alternating Current) electricity. This energy is then run into your AC power panel, which feeds energy back to your utility company’s power grid. If your solar power array produced enough electricity, your utility meter would begin to run backward which means the utility company will be paying you to produce energy for them.

This kit comes with all of the equipment you'd need, including product/installation manuals, mounting rails, and clamps for your panels. A grid tie system consists of a solar array and the grid tie inverter. Company Grid tie Systems provide reliable power for your home using top quality UL listed products.

Off Grid tie solar power system

For applications where utility lines are not available, not desired, or just too expensive, off grid tie systems present a wide array of possibilities depending on your site, your needs, and your budget.  Off grid tie solar electric system design is one of California Solar Electric Company's specialties. We can design off-grid solar systems for remote cabins, telecommunications applications, remote business applications, and fully automated high end residential sites.  
How Off Grid Solar Systems Work
Off-grid solar systems use solar modules to produce DC electricity which is then stored in a battery bank. An inverter then converts the DC power stored in the batteries to AC power - the kind of power found in an on-the-grid home.  Typically, off-grid systems will include a backup engine generator to charge the batteries if they get too low. Such a system will typically be set up so that the generator starts automatically in a low battery condition.

 

What is my incentive to invest in solar power system?

 

Most people associate solar energy with remote installations and non grid tie implementations. In those cases the choice may be an easy one, but in towns and cities there are still reasons to turn to solar energy as a supplement and alternative to electrical utility grids.
Not only is your investment going to save you money and pay for itself, but solar installations frequently raise property value in both industrial and residential settings. Adding a solar energy system to your home or business will also supplement the investment you've made in your property.
Another great incentive--many states (and now the Federal government) offer rebates and incentives for implementing solar power systems. Check out the rebates section that can help you find all the rebates for which you may qualify!
Finally, solar energy is a clean source of renewable energy. It reduces dependence on fossil fuels in a practical and effective way, and helps keep our environment clean.
