Grid-Tied PV Systems
A photovoltaic (PV) system that generates electricity with solar panels. Grid-tied systems are interconnected with the power grid through a grid interactive inverter. Thus, electricity can flow TO or FROM the power grid depending on your needs and production.
Hybrid Systems
A Hybrid System is a grid-tied system that has a battery backup component. It can function during a grid outage to provide power to your home. Therefore, the back-up requirements for this system are normally on a smaller scale and tend to be less expensive.
AC or DC Coupling
Through AC or DC Coupling a pre-existing solar energy system can be upgraded to function during an electrical* grid outage. This upgrade is highly beneficial because typically, all solar energy installations* are dependent on the grid to function.
Off-Grid or Battery-Based
These are battery-based backup systems. Because of this addition to the system, critical appliances are powered from a battery bank during power outages. Batteries are charged from one or more sources. A true Off-Grid system generates it's power through solar panels.
"Large corporations, including solar companies, are currently pushing to lease people’s roofs and other suitable spaces due to high returns on their investment. This is especially true in Massachusetts."
