A grid-tied domestic solar system is a setup where solar panels are installed on a home or property and are connected to the electrical grid. When the sun shines on the solar panels, they convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. This electricity is then passed through an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the type of electricity used in homes.
The electricity generated by the solar panels can be used to power the home's electrical loads, such as lights, appliances, and electronics. If the solar panels produce more electricity than the home needs at any given time, the excess power is sent back into the grid, and the homeowner may receive credits for this excess energy through a process called net metering.
Conversely, when the solar panels are not producing enough electricity to meet the home's needs (such as at night or on very cloudy days), the home draws power from the grid as usual. This allows for a seamless and reliable supply of electricity.
Ultimately, a grid-tied domestic solar system allows homeowners to reduce their reliance on grid electricity and can potentially lead to savings on their electricity bills while also reducing their environmental impact.
