Normal Energy Usage
Most homeowners use the bulk of their high-energy appliances in the early morning or after work when solar energy generation is at it’s lowest. Thus, they will be drawing energy from the grid rather than the solar system.
Energy Useage Shift
Smart solar owners are shifting the bulk of their high-energy appliance usage to mid-day (setting timers on dishwashers, laundry, etc.) This easy change means drawing the bulk of their energy from their own solar system.
Where will your power come from? Ultimately you decide.
Often times people choose to add solar to their homes and think that they’re done with utilities. Unfortunately, that’s just not the case.
All solar systems are tied to the grid. When you have a solar system installed and the sun’s energy is strong, you’re drawing from your system.
When it’s not (like on cloudy days or at night) you’re drawing from the grid. But there are easy ways to make sure you’re taking full advantage of that giant ball of energy in the sky.
How you use solar really impacts your return on investment. Why you use solar provides a much deeper return.
