HelioPower offers a complete line of renewable energy systems and remote power solutions for residential, commercial, and field applications. These include Grid-Tie Solar Electric Systems, Off-Grid/Stand Alone Systems, and Solar Hot Water Systems.

Grid-Tie PV Systems
A grid-tie system consists of solar cells and a grid-tie inverter that is installed on homes connected to the electric utility. Solar cells take the Sun's energy and turn it into DC electricity. The inverter turns the DC electricity generated by the solar cells into utility grade AC power for use in your home. All excess electricity flows back into the electric grid. When this happens, your meter spins backwards, building a credit on your bill. A system can be sized to build enough credit so that you no longer incur energy charges. And by using the electric utility for storage, there are no messy batteries to contend with.

A grid-tie system is an effective way to reduce your dependence on utility power, lower your electric bills, increase green energy production and improve the environment.

In fact, Wells Fargo, in an investor newsletter, published the results of an EPA/HUD research project and stated that solar may be the best return on investment for any type of home remodeling project. They concluded that for every dollar of annual energy savings, your home appreciates $20!"
