On-Grid Solar System
An on-grid system works alongside the utility grid and is the lowest-cost way to use solar.
Overview
Solar connected to the grid
On-grid (grid-tied) systems feed your building first and send surplus to the grid where net metering is available. There are no batteries, so cost is lower.
Standard on-grid inverters shut down during an outage for safety. Net-metering rules change, so we check the current terms with your distribution company before design.
