None of you will be happy especially when
the power grid fails. Power supply failure can be more inconvenient, dangerous and
problematic, if your home or business has to run without power not for hours
but for days. So the obvious choice would be to invest in a solar grid tie PV
system and light up your home or business using free sunshine during a power
break down.
Though it is technically possible but won’t
be so easy to install without the help of trained professionals. Grid-tied solar
systems are made to offer both residential and commercial users trouble-free source
of electricity that are fed by the sunrays. They are economic, simple, effective,
and always remain tied to the power grid. Whenever the grid fails to work, the
solar system becomes non-functional too.
As per the system’s design: the solar
inverter tied to the grid (the solar system component which is responsible for
converting DC power coming from the solar panels and feeding them into grid in the
form of AC power to be ultimately used in the business or office) prevents the power
from flowing to the failed grid, causing injury to line workers in nearby areas.
The only solution to avoid this is to use batteries and create a backup of
power produced by the grid tie system. It can easily make up the power when
there is no source of supply from the grid. However, batteries for solar grid
tie systems can be bulky, costly and ecologically unsafe.
A solar grid tied battery backup system functions
more like an off-grid electric system especially when there is a grid failure. It
never shuts offs completely, rather switches to an electric inverter, that is made
to work with a battery backup, allowing you to manage your domestic or
commercial loads off the lead acid battery storage and charging them with free
solar power generated from your PV panels.
Investing in solar grid tied systems can be
a cost-effective way for you to minimize the fossil fuel consumption and keep
your energy usage rate below the grid standard production for decades or even
more. The lasting value of solar panels and state and federal tax rebates can
add value to your investment in solar grid tie systems. Their functionality
goes beyond the average payback period (8-13 years). And the added advantage is
the offered warranty on these solar system components. To be true, your
invested dollars in solar energy production will go a long way in giving you
access to ‘free solar power’ with the assurance of reduced energy bill and
increased cash flow.
With your decision to invest in grid tied
solar systems with battery backup you can not only meet the goal of making your
home zero energy but also can avoid a situation when grid failure can be
dangerous. For purposes like making your home zero energy, keeping life support
equipments in your hospital functional, or bringing clean and safe electricity to
your home during frequent grid failure in the winter, you can consider
investing in 500 watt/1250 watt/3750 watt solar grid tie systems on 123 Zero Energy today!
