Professional Installation is Critical: Grid-tied solar systems require licensed electricians and multiple permits, with the interconnection process typically taking 2-8 weeks and costing $200-$2,000 in fees alone.
Grid connection requires multiple approvals and permits: The permit process typically takes 2-8 weeks and costs $200-$2,000 depending on system size and location, with permits and fees accounting for about 8% of total installation costs. Start applications early as delays can significantly impact project timelines.
Connecting solar panels to the electrical grid is one of the most effective ways to maximize your solar investment while maintaining reliable power. Grid-tied solar systems allow you to use solar energy during the day, sell excess power back to the utility through net metering, and draw from the grid when needed.
The cost for interconnection can depend on your utility, your home's location in relation to the electric grid, and your solar system size. For most homeowners, this ranges from no cost to about $200, and it will be included in the total cost of your system. Clear and defined interconnection processes are essential for public safety.
