Even if you invest in a solar system, you may not always have enough power for your home or business. For example, solar panels don’t generate electricity at night. During that time, you’ll need the grid to meet your energy needs. Being connected to the gird also allows you to export any excess energy generated by your system to the grid and earn generation credits that can be applied to your statement balance.
