Residential Solar Systems

Grid-tie solar systems account for 90% of residential installations. These systems are built onto your property which connects directly into the electric feed.  This is possible in areas that allow net metering, whereby a solar powered system turns your electric meter backwards when it is producing more than you are using.  This type of system provides no backup power when utility power fails.
