Grid-Tied Solar PV
Grid-tied systems use PV modules to integrate solar electric power with existing electric utility power.
WSW designs, installs, and maintains both battery-less and battery-based grid-tie systems. Incentives are available, including a 30% federal tax credit for purchasing and installing a PV system. All PV systems in Washington state are now tax exempt. For more information on incentives click here.
