Grid-Tied Solar Systems
A grid-tied solar system is the perfect choice for homeowners and businesses that want to reduce electricity costs while staying connected to the national power grid. With this setup, your solar panels generate clean energy during the day, and any additional electricity you need automatically comes from the grid — giving you seamless, uninterrupted power.
At Best Solar Systems, we design and install high-quality grid-tied systems that deliver maximum efficiency, long-term savings, and a faster return on investment.
A grid-tied system connects your solar panels to an inverter, which converts sunlight into usable AC power. This electricity runs your home or business directly, reducing how much you draw from the grid. When your panels produce more power than you use, that excess energy can be fed back into the grid or used later, depending on your municipality’s feed-in policy.
In short, you use the sun first and the grid second, ensuring you always have power while saving money.

Will I still have power during load-shedding?
No. A standard grid-tied system automatically shuts off for safety when the grid goes down. To have backup power, consider upgrading to a hybrid solar system with batteries.
What happens to excess power?
Depending on your local municipality, excess power can be fed back into the grid or redirected for future use.
Is a grid-tied system cheaper than a hybrid setup?
Yes. Grid-tied systems are the most affordable solar option because they don’t require batteries.
How long does installation take?
Most grid-tied systems are installed within 2–3 days after approval.
