Grid Connected Solar Power
Grid connected solar power systems offer the owner the opportunity to install their own independent power supply and to sell either the excess electricity not used in the home (net metering) or all the electricity produced by the solar power system (gross metering) back to the utility company.
The Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs/STCs) that such a system creates can be surrendered at time of purchase allowing a further discount off the purchase price.

How it works
When sun light hits the surface of your solar modules, DC electrical power is produced. Your system will have several solar modules connected together to form a solar array on your roof.
This high voltage DC power is wired down to an isolation enclosure for easy disconnection of the power and then on to the special DC/AC solar inverter which converts the DC power from the solar array and inverts it into AC power for use within the home and for exporting to the grid.
The inverter is a high technology piece of equipment that works automatically whenever there is enough solar power available, so it will start automatically in the morning and stop automatically after sunset. In the case of the utility grid failing through fallen power lines or general blackout, the inverter will automatically disconnect from the grid thereby safeguarding the utility company workers working to restore power. Once this has happened the inverter will reconnect to the grid automatically.
