Grid Tie Inverters

Sinewave Inverters synchronize with utility power, sending "excess" energy production to the grid to offset residential and commercial utility cost.  These inverters do not use batteries, automatically shuting down when there is a power failure.  Energy production is metered and displayed on the inverter and/or on remote displays. 

Please visit our consulting page for the Grid-Tie worksheet. Our dedicated staff with 30 years experience in Solar Electric Systems will review your information and specify the right equipment for your needs.
