There are three basic types to consider when considering solar power systems. The
first is a grid-tied system connected to the utility grid. In this type of installation, solar panels are
installed on the roof or ground, and the remaining electricity is delivered back to the utility grid.
Grid-tied systems can be used in locations where the power from the solar panels can be used
during the day but are not suitable for remote locations. The other two are off-grid and hybrid.
