Grid - connected PV Power System
Grid-Connected PV system — A solar system that is tied in to the utility's network.
When generating more power than necessary, the system supplies the surplus to the grid.
At night, the system draws power from the grid. In effect, the grid acts as an energy
storage system, which means the PV system does not need to include battery storage.
"Grid-connected" systems - those systems that use an inverter to connect to the utility
grid instead of relying on batteries - now make up the largest part of the market.

Application
| |
The first PV system applications developed were applied as an energy source for
satellites and later for orbital stations in space. Nowadays, photovoltaic systems
are applied as an energy source in many cases. Most commonly applied photovoltaic systems
can be found in remote and rural areas where no public grid is available. However, quite often
grid-connected systems are constructed in urban areas. Photovoltaic systems are an excellent solution
to electricity production regardless of your whereabouts - even at high latitudes of Himalayas or in
Antarctica photovoltaic systems have been built.
