A grid-tied solar system, also known as an on grid solar system, operates together with the existing electrical grid infrastructure. This design allows any surplus energy generated by the solar system to be seamlessly transmitted to the grid through a process known as net metering. Grid-tied solar systems are particularly well-suited for customers who have a reliable and stable grid power supply, experiencing minimal power outages.

These systems are utilized not only by residential households but also found in educational institutions, industrial facilities, and commercial establishments, serving as their primary source of electricity. If a customer needs extra electricity, they can get it from the grid. And if there is excess of electricity and solar panels make more power than the use, the extra goes back to the grid. So, the customer always have power either from the sun or the grid. These systems don’t need batteries, and they’re connected to the regular power grid.
