The basic gist is that the solar photovoltaic (solar panel system) technology <strong>converts sunlight directly into electricity<\/strong>. \u00a0\u00a0The inverter converts the electricity to A\/C current, which is electricity your home can use to power appliances, lights, etc.\u00a0 When your residential solar system produces more electricity than your home can use, the energy is stored in the utility grid.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why the Grid is SO Important<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_972\" style=\"width: 418px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-972\" class=\"wp-image-972 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2-300x92.png\" alt=\"The Energy Grid \" width=\"408\" height=\"125\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2-300x92.png 300w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2-768x236.png 768w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2-1024x315.png 1024w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2-640x197.png 640w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2.png 1170w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-972\" class=\" wp-image-972\" src=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2-300x92.png\" alt=\"The Energy Grid \" width=\"408\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2-300x92.png 300w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2-768x236.png 768w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2-1024x315.png 1024w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2-640x197.png 640w, https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/grid-2.png 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/noscript><p id=\"caption-attachment-972\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Center for the study of Presidency and Congress<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Being connected to the utility grid is extremely important for both residential and commercial solar systems.\u00a0 Solar pv systems do an exceptional job of converting the sun\u2019s UV rays into electricity.\u00a0 The inverter system does an awesome job of converting the electricity made in your panels, which is DC, to AC, so your home can use the electricity.\u00a0 But, that is all the solar system can do.<\/p>\n<p>Most residential and commercial solar systems are dependent on the utility grid for energy storage.\u00a0 Extra electricity is commonly produced by solar panels. This <a href=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/what-is-interconnection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interconnection<\/a>, between your solar system and the utility grid, means the energy isn\u2019t wasted and can be consumed at another time.\u00a0 In fact, in California, it is illegal to have a solar system \u201coff-grid.\u201d If you are not connected, you are not benefiting from your solar system at all.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why Local Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_971\" style=\"width: 232px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-971\" class=\"size-full wp-image-971 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/download.png\" alt=\"Local Matters \" width=\"222\" height=\"227\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-971\" class=\"size-full wp-image-971\" src=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/download.png\" alt=\"Local Matters \" width=\"222\" height=\"227\" \/><\/noscript><p id=\"caption-attachment-971\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Co-Op Voice<\/p><\/div>\n<p>During the last several months, our company has been contacted numerous times to \u201chelp out\u201d solar companies that come from other states and municipalities to help them with the \u2018interconnection\u2019 process. Why? They do not know the laws, regulations or processes that outline how a solar system is connected to the utility grid.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/what-is-interconnection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interconnection process<\/a> is the process in which your solar pv system is connected to the local utility grid.\u00a0 In our case, that is PG&amp;E.\u00a0 Interconnection is a highly regulated process that takes time, skill and knowledge.\u00a0 A deficiency in any of those means you might have a beautiful array of panels on your home that cannot be turned on.<\/p>\n<p>Working with a local solar company that understands how to maneuver the <a href=\"https:\/\/delsolenergy.com\/what-is-interconnection\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">legal interconnection process<\/a> is incredibly important.\u00a0 If you are not connected, your solar is obsolete.\u00a0 Most solar consumers do not spend thousands of dollars for a solar system they cannot use.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Shop Smartly<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We preach \u201cShop Local\u201d constantly.\u00a0 This is one of the important reasons why we do.\u00a0 We will go in and help other solar companies connect you to the grid.\u00a0 However, it is expensive and timely. \u00a0Often, we find electrical works is not to code or panels are not set to code.\u00a0 That means not only are you paying for another company to connect your system, you are paying for them to rebuild and re-install your newly purchased system. And it also means that there may be many months between getting your panels installed and you being able to take advantage of a sun-powered home.<\/p>\n<p>Work with a local, <strong>licensed and fully insured solar company<\/strong> to ensure that your panels are installed to code and your system is actually set up to be connected to the utility grid.\u00a0 Your solar system is an investment.
