While switching to a solar energy system is a significant step toward sustainability, it's essential to choose the right setup for your needs. Grid-tied solar systems offer seamless integration with your existing electricity supply, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of solar power while maintaining a reliable connection to the public grid.

Keeping You Connected to the Grid

What Are Grid-Tied Solar Systems?

Grid-tied solar systems are solar power setups that are directly connected to the public electricity grid. These systems allow you to use solar energy to power your home or business while still having access to the grid for additional electricity needs or during times when solar energy production is low. 

Any excess energy generated by your solar panels can be fed back into the grid, often resulting in credits or reduced electricity bills. Grid-tied systems are the most common type of solar setup due to their cost-effectiveness and reliability.

Homeowners looking to install a grid-tied solar system in the Bloomington, IN, area can count on Whole Sun Solar for reliable services.

Why Choose a Grid-Tied System?

Benefits of Installing a Grid-Tied Solar System

Cost Savings

By generating your own electricity, you can significantly reduce your monthly utility bills. Excess energy fed back into the grid can often earn you credits or another form of compensation, further lowering your costs. Over time, these savings can accumulate, making solar energy a financially wise investment.

Reliability

Since grid-tied systems are connected to the public electricity grid, you always have a reliable power source, even when your solar panels aren't producing enough energy. This connection ensures you never experience power interruptions and can always rely on a steady energy supply.

Lower Initial Costs

Grid-tied systems generally have lower upfront costs compared to off-grid systems because they don’t require expensive battery storage. This makes them more accessible and affordable for homeowners looking to switch to solar energy without a substantial initial investment.

Environmental Impact

By using solar energy, you reduce your reliance on fossil fuels, decreasing your carbon footprint and contributing to a more sustainable environment. This conserves natural resources and creates a more sustainable future.

★★★★★
I am very satisfied with the work and would definitely recommend Whole Sun to anyone. Before even starting the project, the managing crew was warm and welcoming, answered promptly all of my questions and were available anytime I needed information or anything else. Once we started, communication was easy and the workers were always on time and sympathetic and kind and I have the feeling they really care about doing the best they can at my place! All in all it took a couple of days and the solar system is up and running!

We needed a new roof and Whole Sun did a great job removing our existing panels and then reinstalling them after the new roof was on. They were a big help.

The entire process, from start to finish, felt very personal; like they cared about making sure we got the best setup we could. They were really responsive whenever we had questions or needed help too. We're extremely happy with how it all turned out, and our solar system is doing marvelously.
