Grid-intertied
Grid-intertied solar-power generates solar electricity and transfers it to the electric utility grid (your existing electric supply), helping to support the home or businesses consumption of electric and in some cases, even turning the electric meter backwards. The offsetting supply of solar energy can greatly reduce the amount of electricity used from your electricity provider.
