What is “Grid-inter-tied” solar energy?
Due to increasing government incentives and rising costs of electricity, buying a home solar electricity system that is inter-tied with the electrical utility grid in your area is becoming increasingly viable and popular. A grid interconnected solar power system is one that adds your array of solar panels onto the existing source of electricity provided by the utility in your area. With this system, your solar panels are connected to the “normal” source of electricity (the breaker panel) at your home. This type of system will be comprised of the normal components of a solar panel system, plus it will require an array DC disconnect device, an AC breaker panel, a kilowatt hour meter and a utility disconnect.
