Figure 1:Source:Sanyo A grid-tied solar PV system consists of an array of photovoltaic panels connected via an inverter (or micro- inverters)to provide power for your home. During the day, any excess production feeds into the grid, spinning the meter backwards. At night when the solar modules are not producing electricity, the electricity comes from the grid. If enough energy is exported during the day, it will balance or exceed the amount you draw from the grid at night. Grid-tied solar does not have a backup energy source in the event of a grid outage, unless batteries are added to the system. ACTIVE P.O.
