Grid-Tie photovoltaic (PV) systems may be used for decreasing of your electric bills, or earn money with Feed-In tariff (if available in your country).

There are 2 savings options with the Grid-Tie PV system: Pure Self-Consumption and Net Metering.

To use all the electricity, produced by PV modules on you your home’s Self-Consumption the PV-system need to be equipped with Smart-Meter, that break the solar electricity production and cut it from home grid. Self-Consumption mode allows you to supply your home appliances with electricity from solar panels, not from the mains.

With Net Metering (if it’s available in your local grid), you may produce the solar electricity when you can (when sun shine) and giving extra to the grid. And take the electricity from the grid when you need for your home consumers (lighting, cooling, heating). With Net Metering you’re paying only for the consumed energy, that exceeds the produced one.

Feed-In tariff allows to earn money from the energy, that is produced to the grid and exceeds the consumed one. But such tariffs are available in very few national grids only. If you want to benefit from Feed-In tariff you should consult your local grid operator before the purchase of Grid-Tie PV system.
