Hello readers,
A rightly sized Grid-tied solar power system can meet your energy needs through Solar Energy and maximize your savings.
This system is connected to the grid through a net meter.
It is a bi-directional meter that allows energy to flow between the solar power system and the grid.
Although many of us are interested in getting solar on the rooftops of our houses.
But we are a little confused about its functioning and sizing.
Therefore, I have designed a simple e-book that addresses this pain point for many of us.
This e-book will guide you in sizing your Grid-tied solar power system according to your energy needs.
After finishing this e-book, you will learn:
- The basics of solar power system
- Functioning of each component used in the solar power system
- Sizing each component used in the Grid-tied solar power system.
Features of the e-book
