Grid-tied solar power systems are solar power systems that are linked to the electrical grid and do not require battery backup. 

In the United States, they are the most prevalent form of the solar panel system. Despite the increased interest in battery solutions, the majority of homeowners that go solar today choose a grid-tied system on their roofs. 

So, what exactly are grid-tied solar systems, and why are they so popular? Are they, more crucially, the proper type of system for you? This blog will examine this system type in-depth and provide answers to your queries. 

‘On-grid,’ ‘grid-connect(ed),’ ‘grid-intertwined,’ and ‘grid-direct’ are all terms used to describe this solar panel system. They’re all talking about the same subject. 

What is a solar system that is connected to the grid? 

Solar panels generate power from sunshine in a grid-tied setup. Excess electricity is exported to the utility grid, and when a family needs more power, grid imports are used to meet those demands. 

What does an on-grid solar system cost? 

Net of the federal solar tax credit, the average cost of a typical grid-tied solar system is between $13,320 and 14,800. As of Q1 2022, most systems cost between $2.75 and $3.35 per watt, with a national average price of $3.00 per watt. 

On the other hand, solar system costs can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the size of the system, the state in which you live, the type of solar panels you pick, and even the slope of your roof. 

How do on-grid systems deal with power surpluses and shortages? 

Because most family members are out of the house during the day, energy consumption is minimal. This is also the peak of solar panel manufacture. Thus electricity generation significantly outnumbers energy consumption. 

The extra power is exported to your main electricity line with grid-tied systems, earning the homeowner credits on their energy bill.
