Get a Permanent Decrease in Energy Bills With Grid-Tied Solar Power Systems
If you want to eventually become energy-independent, a grid-tied solar system is the best place to start. While your home will still be tied to the main electrical grid, it will use solar power during the day. When it gets dark, you’ll pull from power on the grid.
With a grid-tied system, you can dramatically lower your energy bills. And during the summer months when the sun is always out, you may even qualify for energy credits from your electricity provider.

While fully off-grid solar power isn’t connected to the energy grid, a grid-tied system lets you fall back on the energy grid when you need the power. This means you still have an account with an electricity provider.
Throughout the day, your home will be powered by your system, and any extra energy you generate will be “returned” to your energy provider via the energy grid. Then, your energy company will credit you the amount.
At night, you can draw power from the electrical grid, so your home will function like it normally would without a solar power system. When you use energy from the grid, you’ll pay for it like normal.
Your grid-tied solar system can lower your electric bills because:
- For 12 hours a day, your home won’t use electricity from the grid, saving you money.
- If you generate excess electricity, you get a credit to your account, essentially “paying” for the energy you use at night.
The Benefits of a Grid-Tied System
-
Lower Initial Costs
Since a grid-tied system is our simplest system to install, it’s also one of the most affordable.
That’s because it doesn’t require specialized equipment or batteries to install, decreasing the price compared to off-grid or battery-supported systems.
-
Versatile Energy Sources
Many people like the versatility of a grid-tied system since they can still draw power from the grid in case it’s a cloudy day.
And on sunny days, you can enjoy electric credits to your account for the excess energy you produce, lowering the costs of the energy you use at night.
-
Net Metering
If your grid-tied solar system generates more energy than you used, the excess amount is “sold” to your energy provider.
They then put a credit on your account that can offset the costs of the electricity you use at night or on cloudy days.
-
Renewable Energy
With a grid-tied system, you’ll lower your overall carbon footprint and won’t need to rely as heavily on fossil fuels for your electricity.
You can choose a solar system that’s easy on the planet and your wallet.
