This web page sells Solar Powered Utility Grid Intertie Systems.

Utility Grid Intertie systems don't use batteries (except for back-up power during a utility grid power outage). The advantage of the utility grid intertie system is that you "deposit" energy produced during the day with the electric company (while you get paid the peak time rate) and then "withraw" energy at night from the electric company when the rates a lower (assumes you will choose a rate structure that has time of use pricing). That is more efficient than battery charging, helps the electric company to meet peak time (day time) demand, and saves you the expense of buying a bank of batteries. The only time a grid-tie system has batteries is as a back-up power system in case the electric grid has a power outage.

Keep in mind that the total yearly average watt-hours produced during the day is about 3 to 5 hours (polar locations will have less) times the wattage figures given below. 1000 watts = 1 kilowatt = 1 kW. For example, a system that produces 500 watts of power will produce 2.5 kWh of energy in a day that has 5 hours of peak time sun.

The Siemens/Shell Solar kits include all necessary hardware for Solar Powered Utility Grid Intertie Systems, including Siemens SP75 solar modules, universal mounting kits, utility grade DC/AC power inverters, interconnect hardware, etc. The Siemens/Shell kits are the only UL-listed Solar Powered Utility Grid Intertie Systems in the world.
