Grid-Tied Solar Systems | Sell Excess Power Back to the Grid | Canada

Become Your Own Grid-Tied Solar Energy Provider

Grid-tied solar energy systems allow Canadians to sell excess power back to their local power company while supplying household needs first. This is the most cost-effective way to go solar—no batteries required, and the grid acts as your backup.

How Grid-Tied Solar Works

1. Solar panels generate electricity – During daylight hours, your panels produce DC power
2. Inverters convert to AC – Microinverters or string inverters convert DC to grid-compatible AC
3. Power your home first – Your home uses the solar power directly
4. Excess goes to the grid – What you don't use flows to the utility, spinning your meter backward
5. Draw power at night – When the sun sets, you use grid power as normal
6. Get credited for exports – Your utility credits you for the power you exported

Regulations limiting the amount of solar-produced power vary from province to province, and local power companies may impose their own regulations. All grid-tied solar packages sold by Solarwyse include safety features that cease production when the local power company stops accepting excess power.

Grid-tied systems come in a range of sizes, from a few kilowatts to hundreds of kilowatts. Contact Solarwyse today to become your own grid-tied solar energy provider!
