What is a Grid Tie Solar System
Grid-tie solar power systems give you the best of both worlds: green energy and the security of the electrical grid. You can offset some of your electricity bill by tying your solar panels to the grid.
Description
A grid-tie residential solar system is one that connects you and your solar panels to the electrical grid. You generate electricity through your solar panels and you "sell" your unused electricity to the power company.
Equipment
The three basic components of a grid-tie residential system are the solar panels, the inverter and the meter, which can spin backwards.
Function
Your solar panels convert sunlight to DC electricity. An inverter converts the DC electricity to AC which can be used in your house. At night, you get your electricity through the grid in the usual manner.
Benefits
If you generate more electricity than you use, the excess makes your meter spin backwards, reflecting a credit. You never run out of electricity. Solar panels are also a green energy source that do not require fossil fuels to run.
Solar PV
Green Phoenix can offer PVs (Monocrystalline & Polycrystalline) from Antaris solar, which is one of the leading German & European manufacturers of photovoltaic (PV) technologies offering complete packaged systems with 30 year performance warranties on their panels. There is no manufacturer that can offer the same. Antaris Solar combine their market leading panels with industry leading inverters such as SMA and offer Schletter roof mounting systems.
Grid Tie Systems
We have created some Pre-prepared packages, but Green Phoenix can also create any size system to suit your requirements. This would include Domestic as well as Commercial size systems for any Roof or Ground Mountings.
