Overview

Grid-tied Solar Systems are one of the most widely used solar configurations. They operate by connecting solar panels directly to the utility grid, without the inclusion of battery storage for backup power. These systems allow homes to utilize the solar energy produced while still drawing power from the grid when needed. When solar panels generate more energy than a home consumes, the excess is fed back into the grid. Many regions offer a program called net metering, where homeowners earn bill credits for this surplus energy, offsetting future electricity costs.

Grid-tied solar setups are popular because they offer significant cost savings due to their minimal equipment needs. However, they don’t provide backup power in case of outages, making them suitable for areas with reliable grid access and full retail net metering options.

How It Works?!

In a grid-tied solar system, solar panels mounted on the roof capture sunlight and generate direct current (DC) electricity. This energy flows into an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity for use in your home.

If the solar panels generate more electricity than the home requires, the surplus is exported to the grid. The homeowner can receive credits for this energy under a billing mechanism called net metering, allowing them to offset future electricity costs.

While grid-tied systems require fewer components compared to other solar systems, they rely entirely on the grid for backup power. During an outage, these systems cannot supply electricity unless additional equipment, like batteries, is installed.

Benefits of Grid-Tied Solar Systems

  1. Cost-Effective Installation: Grid-tied systems require fewer components, such as batteries, making them more affordable to install compared to other solar systems.
  2. Net Metering Savings: With net metering, any excess energy generated is sent to the grid, earning bill credits that can offset electricity costs during times when the panels aren’t producing energy, like at night.

  3. Lower Maintenance: These systems have fewer parts, meaning there is less equipment to maintain, resulting in lower ongoing maintenance costs.

  4. Increased Efficiency: Grid-tied systems are highly efficient as they allow you to use solar power when available and seamlessly switch to grid power when needed, ensuring continuous energy supply.

  5. Environmentally Friendly: By relying on solar energy and feeding excess power back to the grid, grid-tied systems reduce reliance on fossil fuels and contribute to lowering carbon emissions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a grid-tied solar system and how does it work?

A grid-tied solar system in Kiambu connects your solar panels directly to the KPLC electricity grid. Our solar solutions use high-quality solar inverters to convert DC power from your solar panels into AC power that feeds into the grid. When your solar panels produce excess energy, it’s fed back to the grid through net metering. You can also integrate lithium batteries for backup power during outages while maintaining your grid connection.
