Grid-Tied

Solar Energy Systems

How the System Works

A solar system is connected to your home’s electrical circuits through your home’s breaker panel and then to the grid through your electric meter. Energy is provided by daily sunshine, which is captured by solar panels secured to your roof (or ground mounted) on aluminum racks. Each solar panel processes energy gained from the sun into DC current; which in turn, is converted to the AC current needed to power your appliances. Excess energy generated is sent to the grid. Because the solar system is tied to the grid, it automatically shuts down during grid outages to stop energy, which could injure utility repair workers, from being sent to the grid. As a result, a grid-tied system is not usable for standby power.

Engineered for Peak Efficiency

In a typical system, solar panels are wired in a string, which could allow one shaded, bad, or underperforming panel to affect the output of the entire string of panels. To remedy that, a solar optimizer is connected to each panel, turning each panel/optimizer combination into a smart module. Each smart module communicates its performance data in real-time to the solar monitoring system, which mitigates potential power losses due to soiling, shading, aging, and current or future obstructions. In this way, a weighted peak efficiency of 98.8% is maintained. Module-level, cloud-based monitoring tracks efficiency and performance, which you can view from your smart phone, tablet, or computer.

Reduce or Eliminate Electrical Costs with
Net Metering

Energy produced by the system to power your home, as well as any excess energy your system produced that was sent to the grid, can be used to offset the cost of energy provided by your power company. This arrangement is referred to as “net metering.” Each power company has a different program for net metering and a different amount of energy cost that can be offset by their customers, so it is best to check directly with your energy provider as to the availability and policy for your particular location.

Solar Energy Systems with Battery Storage

Solar Energy Systems with
Battery Storage

How the System Works

A solar energy system with battery storage works in an identical manner to a grid-tied system as far as how energy is gathered, processed, and provided for your appliances’ electrical needs. The difference is that when excess energy is produced, the system initially uses that excess energy to charge the battery system to ensure battery energy is available during periods of darkness and grid power outages. Only when the battery system is fully charged does it feed excess energy to the grid. During a grid outage, energy from the battery system can be used to power your home during the time the solar system is automatically disconnected from the grid to ensure the safety of utility repair workers. Solar energy produced during the grid outage is used to recharge the battery system.

Emergency Home Standby Power to Fit Your Needs

A solar system with a back-up battery system is an excellent choice for protecting your home and family from power outages. When a loss of grid power is sensed, the system instantly switches to using energy stored in the battery system. You can choose to power your entire home during a grid outage, or just applicances or circuits you deem essential to have during a loss of power.

Advantages Over Other Back-Up Energy Alternatives

There are a lot of advantages to using a solar energy system with battery storage over alternative choices for your standby power needs. Included among them is the capability to take advantage of tax credits to pay up to 50% of the entire system’s cost, the availability of long-term financing, significantly longer lifespan of the equipment and significantly longer warranties for it with guarantees of energy production up to 25 years, zero operating cost, plus the fact that the system is oderless, quiet, and non-polluting, all while lowering your monthly energy bills!

Premium Quality Components from
Leading Brands

Just like our grid-tied systems, our solar energy systems with battery storage employ premium-quality solar panels as well as optimizers, inverters, solar monitoring systems, and other necessary components from the industry’s leading brands – Chilicon, Generac, and Storz. We’ve installed solar systems with battery energy storage throughout South Carolina and neighboring states and we use that experience to provide you with a system comprised of the best brands and components for your energy savings and emergency back-up power needs.

Are Your Power Bills Too High?

Then reduce or eliminate your electric bill
with solar energy!

Think solar won’t be afforable?

We offer low-interest financing plans with NO downpayment & NO monthly payments / NO interest during first 12 months, so you pay nothing out-of-pocket!

Following that, tax credits generally cover your loan payments for the next 3 to 5 years, after which you’ll make monthly payments that are typically less than your current average power bill, all while providing you with tens of thousands of dollars in energy savings during the life of the loan. You really can’t afford NOT to go solar!
