Grid-tie is now hugely popular in Europe, North America, China and Australia. This is due to the availability of grants to reduce the installation costs, the ability to earn money through feed-in tariffs and the opportunity to sell electricity back into the electricity companies. In a grid-tie system, your home runs on solar power during
