About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
You may have heard the words "grid-tied", "on-grid", "off-grid". These are important concepts in solar energy. In this video, I will explain these concepts and introduce some of the basic components. Finally, I will show you some of the economic differences as well. First is the grid-tied system, also known as on-grid. The grid supplies electricity from your electric company to your home as 110 volts DC power. To get solar power into your grid connected home, you need solar panels installed on the roof of your home, and utilize a grid-tie inverter.
