What is grid connected solar?
Grid connected solar is solar electricity without batteries. Your home is hooked up to both the national grid and your Powersmart solar system so you will always have electricity available at the flick of a switch. You can install a system of any size and you will only ever be billed if your power use exceeds the amount you are generating. By being grid connected with solar, you may never have to pay a power bill again! Our grid connected systems do not typically use batteries. Batteries are generally quite expensive and require regular maintenance. The electricity grid acts as a 100% efficient maintenance free battery while also providing unlimited ‘on demand’ energy. This is what makes grid connected solar so attractive. It has all of the benefits of being attached to the electricity grid but without the continually rising cost of electricity.
