on-grid PV solar and wind systems
A growing interest in clean energy alternatives, are increasing the demand for home grid-connected systems - either PV solar systems or wind powered systems.
On-grid Systems Advantages
On-grid wind or PV-solar systems have strong advantages over stand-alone systems. Through grid-connection you can store the energy surpluses on the grid, and get them back whenever necessary.
On-grid systems require simple procedures: a bi-directional meter, and standard performance and safety norms. In many states, fees, inspections or certifications are minimal.
On-grid wind and solar systems might avoid the electric disruptions and the battery systems (and costs) demanded by stand-alone systems.

Selling the excess generation
If your wind or PV solar system stores more electricity in the grid than that you use, the utility or electric provider may buy the excess generation: the law do not require that, but many agreements consider that purchase.

On-grid agreements
Connecting a PV solar system or a wind system to a electric grid involves a net-metering agreement and some standards that aren’t difficult to meet.
