What does our Residential Grid-Tied
Solar Services include?

Installing PV Modules

We install high-efficiency photovoltaic (PV) modules that capture sunlight and turn it into electricity. These panels are positioned for maximum sun exposure year-round. Built to withstand Hawaii’s climate, they deliver reliable performance for decades. Every panel is installed with precision for optimal output.

Inverter Setup

Our team installs advanced string inverters or microinverters to convert DC power from your panels into usable AC power. This is the electricity that powers your home and can be fed back to the grid. We match the right inverter technology to your needs.

Net Metering Setup & Support

We set up your system for net metering so you can earn credits or savings for the excess energy you produce. This can significantly lower your monthly electricity bills. Our team ensures the process is correctly configured with your utility provider.

Power Meter Installation

We install specialized meters that track both your energy consumption and the surplus you send back to the grid. This ensures accurate monitoring of your system’s performance. You’ll know exactly how much energy you’re saving and producing. Our meters keep you informed all the time.

Complete System Integration

We integrate your solar system with your home's existing electrical setup during a residential system upgrade. This ensures all components work together smoothly and safely, while our integration process optimizes energy flow and prevents disruptions.

Want to eliminate the need for batteries, reduce installation costs, and maximize return on investment through net metering? Turn to a residential grid-tied solar system for smart savings.

Homeowners Looking to Cut Energy Bills

If you’re tired of high electricity costs and unpredictable rate hikes, a residential grid-tied solar system can bring immediate relief. It allows you to produce your own clean energy while staying connected to the grid for backup. Any extra power your panels generate gets credited to your account through net metering. You’ll enjoy consistent savings month after month without sacrificing comfort.

Homeowners aiming to reduce their carbon footprint

Choosing solar power is one of the easiest ways to live more sustainably. Every unit of clean energy you produce replaces power from fossil fuels. This helps cut down harmful emissions and supports a greener future. With solar, you can make a positive impact on the environment every day.

Homeowners wanting to increase property value

Installing a residential grid-tied solar system can boost the market value of your home. Buyers see solar as a long-term investment that saves money on electricity. It makes your property more attractive and future-ready. A solar-powered home often sells faster and at a higher price.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a grid-tied system only for residential purposes, or is it better for commercial use as well?

Grid-tied solar works for both residential and commercial use, but it’s especially popular for homes due to lower upfront costs and easy net metering. For a commercial solar system, it’s ideal when paired with high daytime energy use to maximize savings.

Net Metering is a mechanism of sending extra energy back to the grid that is more than your energy consumption. The system works like:

1- When your solar panels produce more electricity than your home is using, the surplus power is automatically sent to the grid.

2- A special bi-directional meter measures the electricity flowing in both directions- Power generation vs Energy consumed.

3- Your utility company credits you for the excess energy you send back. This credit is then used to offset the cost of any electricity you pull from the grid, such as at night or on cloudy days when your solar panels aren’t producing.

No. Grid-tied systems rely on the grid to function. If the grid goes down, the system automatically shuts off for safety, unless paired with batteries.

  • Customer Self Supply (CSS): Generates solar power for on-site use without exporting excess to the grid.

  • Customer Grid Supply (CGS): Produces solar energy for on-site use and sends excess power to the grid for credits.

  • Net Energy Metering (NEM): Offsets your electricity costs by crediting you for the excess solar power sent back to the grid.

The electricity output of a grid-tied solar system depends on its size (number and wattage of panels), available sunlight (affected by location, latitude, and weather), and the inverter’s capacity. For example, a 2 kW system may produce around 240 kWh per month, while a 10 kW system could generate roughly 1,200 kWh monthly. These figures are approximate and can vary based on site conditions and efficiency factors.



A standard grid-tied solar system stops operating during a power outage. It can still supply energy during rainy or cloudy periods, but if the grid goes down, it will not work. For clients who want to keep the lights on during outages, we install battery storage or offer an upgrade to a residential off-grid solar solution. 

Grid-tied solar systems typically last 25–30 years with minimal maintenance. Inverters may need replacement after 10–15 years for optimal performance. However, the life of a grid-tied solar system depends on various factors like how often you inspect it, the quality of installation, the type of inverter installed, and solar system maintenance. 

The space required depends on your energy needs and panel efficiency, but most homes need 200–400 square feet. A site survey will determine the exact area needed for maximum energy production.

Yes, you can upgrade your grid-tied solar system in the future. Additional panels and a compatible inverter can increase capacity as your energy needs grow. This flexibility makes it easy to scale without replacing the entire setup.

Yes. Most modern systems include online or app-based monitoring to track power generation and usage. Popular options include platforms from Enphase, SolarEdge, and SMA, which provide real-time data and historical reports. This helps you detect issues early and maximize your system’s efficiency.

Most residential systems take 1–3 days to install, but permitting, approval process, and equipment delivery may take several weeks to months. Larger projects may take a few weeks, depending on size and complexity.

Yes. Most areas require permits and utility approval before installation and connection to the grid. We handle the entire permitting process for you, including paperwork, inspections, and utility coordination. At BlueSky Energy, our team ensures everything is compliant with local codes, so your installation is smooth and hassle-free.
