SOLAMIO SOLAR GRID-TIE ROOFTOP SOLUTIONS

A grid-tied electrical system, also called ‘tied to grid’ or ‘grid tie system’, is a semi-autonomous electrical generation or grid energy storage system which links to the mains to feed excess capacity back to the local mains electrical grid.

When insufficient electricity is generated, electricity drawn from the mains grid can make up the shortfall.

With the opportunity to feed back into the grid in certain areas, its a great opportunity to reduce your electricity consumption with your local provider.

Even though this is a simple cost effective way of reducing your cost, its shortfall lies in that should the utility supply shut down, your panels will not produce power during this period.

This is a safety feature built in to protect technicians while doing maintenance.

SOLAR OFF-GRID ROOFTOP SOLUTIONS

The term off-grid refers to not being connected to a grid, mainly used in terms of not being connected to the main or national electrical grid. In electricity, off-grid can be stand-alone systems (SAS) or mini-grids typically to provide a smaller community with electricity.

Off-grid electrification is an approach to access electricity used in countries and areas with little access to electricity, due to scattered or distant population.

It can be any kind of electricity generation. The term offthe-grid (OTG) can refer to living in a self-sufficient manner without reliance on one or more public utilities.

The downside of Off Grid systems, or Island systems, lies in the cost of batteries. Batteries have a limited life span when used continuously. Large battery systems are required to unsure depth of discharge is limited.
