>On-Grid: (Grid Intertie-No Batteries)
Inverters which are connected to your electric utility company and do not use a battery bank. These "grid-tie" systems tend to be lower in cost due to the fact that they don't use batteries. However, if the utility company's power goes down then your system will also shut down. If blackouts are frequent in your location or you want to have backup power, consider purchasing an inverter that is both on-grid and off-grid capable. Or some folks purchase a separate inverter with batteries just for emergency backup power.

More info on On-Grid: (Grid Intertie-No Batteries)
Grid tie inverters are a key component to your solar panel electric system or wind power electric system. Inverters convert DC power generated by solar and wind electric systems into AC power used by most domestic electrical devices and your grid tie power inverter will do the same, pumping AC electricity back into the "grid" and offsetting your power consumption and cash outlay. Many consumers have the best of both worlds when they install a hybrid independent electric system in their home. This could mean that they are supplementing their electric power with solar power panels or a wind turbine system or it could mean incorporating both to generate enough green energy to power their home and more. In most of the United States, solar panels or wind turbines alone cannot generate sufficient power for a normal home because of natural obstacles like insufficient wind and shorter days in the winter. Maintaining your on grid ties and incorporating solar power or wind power means that no matter the season or weather condition your home will have consistent power. No matter which system you choose, if you live on the grid you'll need a high quality grid tie inverter to complete your system. Back to products
