Grid Intertied Solar-Electric Systems

Also known as on-grid, grid-tied, or utility interactive (UI), grid-Intertied solar-electric systems generate solar electricity and route it to the electric utility grid, offsetting a homes or business electrical consumption and, in some instances, even turning the electric meter backwards. Living with a grid-connected solar-electric system is no different than living with grid power, except that some or all of the electricity you use comes from the sun.
