Technical FAQs 4

Should you connect solar panels to the electrical grid?

Connecting solar panels to the electrical grid is one of the most effective ways to maximize your solar investment while maintaining reliable power. Grid-tied solar systems allow you to use solar energy during the day, sell excess power back to the utility through net metering, and draw from the grid when needed.

How do I connect solar panels to the grid?

To connect solar panels to the grid, you need to install a bi-directional meter on your home. This allows energy produced by your solar panels to be fed into the grid when you’re not using it, and for you to draw energy back from the grid when you need it.

What does 'connecting solar to the grid' mean?

When we talk about “connecting solar to the grid,” we’re referring to the process of linking your solar energy system to the electrical grid, which is the network that delivers electricity to homes, businesses, and industries.

How many watts can a solar system produce?

Most residential systems range from 5-15 kW, while commercial installations can exceed 100 kW. The National Electrical Code Article 690 governs solar installations. Key 2025 requirements include: Modern solar panels typically produce 350-470 watts each. Panel selection should consider: Array configuration affects system voltage and current.
