Grid-Tie
Grid-Tie Explained
Across Canada, home owners are adding solar electric panels to their roofs. They are doing this to save electricity and to reduce their power bills. They are choosing to use their own solar energy first, and many homes meet 20 to 50% of their annual power need from their rooftop system. They are choosing to use green energy over nuclear and coal. Since solar electric prices have fallen dramatically over the past 5 years, solar systems are now affordable.
It’s easier than ever to put solar to work on any home connected to the electrical utility grid with HES-PV’s Grid-Tie Systems. These complete packages combine the latest HES solar modules and the highest quality inverters for complete, reliable and fully compatible rooftop solutions.
