GRID-TIE

Residential Solar

Solar power is an investment in your energy future , and is a reliable way to reduce your emissions.  , Alberta and Saskatchewan  have some of the best solar potentials in Canada providing a consistent source of solar energy for your home.

Advantages of Grid-Tied Systems

1. Save more money with net metering

A grid-tied connection will allow you to save more money with solar panels through better efficiency rates, net metering, plus lower equipment and installation costs:

Batteries, and other stand-alone equipment, are required for a fully functional off-grid solar system and add to costs as well as maintenance. Grid-tied solar systems are therefore generally cheaper and simpler to install.

2. The utility grid is a virtual battery

Electricity has to be spent in real-time. However, it can be temporarily stored as other forms of energy (e.g. chemical energy in batteries). Energy storage typically comes with significant losses.

Equipment for Grid-Tied Solar Systems

There are a few key differences between the equipment needed for grid-tied, off-grid and hybrid solar systems. The similarities of off-grid and on-grid are solar PV and mounting , other than that  standard grid-tied solar systems rely on the following components:

  • Grid-Tie Inverter (GTI) or Micro-Inverters
  • Power Meter
  • rapid shutdown
  • Electrical coupling equipment

Grid-Tie Inverters

Grid-tie inverters transfer electrical power produced by a solar array to the Utility or grid. Typically used for net metering or feed-in tariff benefits, if the utility company’s power goes down then ability to send power back to the utility is also cut. If blackouts are frequent in your location or you want to have backup power and net metering is permitted, consider purchasing a grid-interactive inverter.
