How solar benefits the electricity grid
Another, lesser-known benefit of installing panels on your property is that solar helps the entire electrical grid. When property
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.
Grid-connected solar systems allow you to generate electricity from solar panels and seamlessly integrate with the utility grid, enabling you to consume the energy you produce and feed excess power back into 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.
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.
