Use the Sun for your Power and the
Grid as your Backup Battery
Grid-Tie
Grid-Tie is the most common form of solar power system for public use.
The Grid-Tie system uses the least amount of components and is therefore cheaper than the Off-Grid and the Grid-Interactive Systems.
Essentially the Grid-Tie system comprises of a PV array and an Inverter. The inverter simply connects to the electrical 'grid' in your house and supplements the power used by your appliances. When there is less power being used in the house than the solar panels can produce then the grid-tie inverter pushes power back into the main grid. This power "selling" is picked up by your smart meter and depending on your electricity retailer you are credited for this power.
This is one of our systems running the old analogue power meter backwards
(before it was changed to a smart meter)
S4SOLAR Grid-Tie systems start at around $8600.00 including GST for a 1kW Installation. This will give you around 5 Units of power in a day (average throughout the year) Some of our 3.33kW systems are seeing over 10% Return on Investment! You can have one of these installed for around $16000.
Cost is approximate and depends on variables such as location of panels Roof angle etc. Please feel free to call or email us if you would like to discuss your solar power needs.
