Renewable energy technology makes it possible for home and business owners to have dependable power from renewable sources. Mass production has significantly reduced the price of renewable energy systems and their components. Solar systems with battery-based backup power can ensure reliable power even when the utility grid is down.
Please take a few minutes to review the information provided here and see what can benefit you. Wecome Mother Earth News readers! Power systems vary in design depending on what energy sources are used and what purpose they must fulfill. 1. Grid-Tie Systems ( utility interactive ) 2. Grid-Tie Systems with Battery Backup 3.

Renewable News: What High Gas Prices Mean for Renewable Energy___________________________________________________________
Also called grid-interactive, grid-intertie, utility-interconnected and other such descriptive terms, grid-tie solar systems built onto your building and property that connect directly into the electric utility feed. This is possible in areas that allow net metering, whereby a solar or wind powered system turns your electric meter backwards when it is producing more power than you are using. This type of system provides no backup power when utility power fails. What is the "GRID" anyway?
A grid-tie system with battery backup feeds excess solar electricity to the grid and provides backup power when the utility grid is down. With this type of system you sacrifice some power generation efficiency in exchange for having power when there is a utility power failure. The amount of backup power you have depends on the size of the battery and electrical loads that draw on them.
This type of power system is independent of the utility grid. Batteries commonly store the energy produced by solar modules, a wind generator, a micro-hydroelectric generator, or a combination of any or all of them to produce your electric power. Owners of this type of system often use a gas or diesel generator for backup when the power system does not meet all of the needs.

Solar water heaters don't produce electricity but use a solar collector to attract the sun's heat. The heat transfers through to a series of water filled tubes just beneath the collector's surface. The two most common types are illustrated below.
