Technical FAQs 4

How can solar power be connected to the grid?

Connecting solar power to the grid offers a smart, sustainable way to harness renewable energy while maintaining a reliable power supply. Through the use of inverters, net metering, and modern grid technologies, solar energy is being seamlessly integrated into the existing electrical infrastructure.

What is a grid tied solar panel system?

When grid-tied, your solar panel system is connected to the grid via a bi-directional electricity meter. It measures the excess power you send to the grid when your solar panels produce more than you need, and the amount of energy you pull from the grid when your solar panel system doesn't generate enough.

Why do solar panels need to be connected to the grid?

The simple answer is that remaining connected to the grid allows your home to draw additional power when solar panels can’t generate enough electricity, including nights and cloudy days.

How can solar energy be integrated?

By 2030, as much as 80% of electricity could flow through power electronic devices. One type of power electronic device that is particularly important for solar energy integration is the inverter. Inverters convert DC electricity, which is what a solar panel generates, to AC electricity, which the electrical grid uses.
