On the Grid - Off the Grid
The Grid refers to the electrical supply system in America. The voltage from the Photo Voltaic System, Wind Generator, and/or Water Generator is applied to the input circuitry and the output circuitry produces 117 VAC output that has a sufficiently clean waveform that It can either be sent back into a special electric company watt meter or directly into the house for local use.
The Electric companies around Colorado are operating under a mandate to provide access to their power lines for this ON Grid activity. When power is input to the grid, the power meter will be running backwards, and when the electric company is supplying the power, the [pwer meter will be running forward as usual.
