Sun Volts Unlimited™ Wind Grid-Tie Systems
Most utility companies now allow grid tie systems. The following
systems allow you to connect to the utility grid and either balance
off your usage or get paid for the electricity you produce. All
systems are designed and built to meet the Ontario Electrical
Safety Code. The Utility meter is not included with any of our
Wind Grid Tie Kits.
To determine the size of system for your requirements you first
need to identify your electrical loads. Just check your utility
bill to see what your kW consumption is per month then divide
that figure by the number of days in the month. This gives you
your daily kW consumption. This is usually the jump-off point.
However, depending on the program offered by your utility, you
may want to off set just a portion of your electrical loads.
Whatever the case, we will work with you to determine the best
system for your situation.
Why Consider Wind Grid Tie Systems For Your Home?
Your utility company may offer the "Standard Offer Program"
or a "Net Metering Program".
Standard Offer Program that is offered by most
utility companies in Ontario is where the utility company purchases
electricity that you produce at a rate of $.11 per kilowatt. Any
hydro you buy from the utility company will only cost you the
current rate per kilowatt.
Net Metering uses the excess electricity you
produce to spin your meter backwards and when your grid tie system
does not produce enough energy for your household, the additional
power is purchased from the utility company, thus making you meter
spin forward.
The supply of power from a Wind Grid Tie Systems Without
Batteries is dependant on the grid being active. If the grid goes
down so does the power to your home. However, Wind Grid Tie Systems
With Batteries will provide back-up power in the event of a power
outage.
