How Solar Works

At Unlimited Energy, we're passionate about solar energy and how it can transform the way we power our homes and businesses. Our commitment to sustainability and innovation drives us to provide cutting-edge grid-tied solar solutions to the residents and businesses of Texas. Here's a glimpse into how grid-tied solar works and why it's a game-changer in the world of renewable energy.

The Solar Connection

Grid-tied solar, also known as grid-connected or on-grid solar, is a smart and sustainable way to harness the energy of the sun while staying connected to the traditional power grid. It's all about striking the perfect balance between self-sufficiency and reliability.

Sunlight to Electricity

The magic begins with solar panels, strategically installed on your rooftop or property. These panels capture sunlight and convert it into electricity through a process called photovoltaics (PV). This electricity is in the form of direct current (DC).

Inverter Conversion

To make this electricity usable for your home or business, we employ a crucial component: the inverter. The inverter converts DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity used to power your lights, appliances, and devices.

Using Solar Power

As your solar panels generate electricity during the day, your property will consume this clean, green energy in real-time. Any excess electricity that your solar system generates gets sent back to the grid, which benefits both you and your community.

Net Metering Benefits

Here's where the magic of grid-tied solar truly shines. Through a system called net metering, any surplus electricity you feed into the grid gets credited to your account. Think of it as a give-and-take relationship with your utility company. During periods when your solar system produces more energy than you consume, you're essentially banking credits for those cloudy days or nights when your solar panels aren't actively generating power.

Reliability and Cost Savings

Grid-tied solar offers the best of both worlds. You enjoy the reliability of grid power when your solar panels aren't producing enough electricity, and you reap significant savings on your electricity bills, often reducing or even eliminating them altogether, thanks to your solar-generated credits.

Environmental Impact

By opting for grid-tied solar, you're not only saving on energy costs but also significantly reducing your carbon footprint. You're actively contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future, one powered by the sun's abundant and renewable energy.
