Also, the grid-connected PV system allows consumers the flexibility to use electricity from the grid when there is no sunlight. Later on (at night), those exported units are imported to keep the power supply on. When excess power is produced, the bidirectional meter in the grid-tied PV system exports extra units of electricity to the grid. When the grid connected PV system is installed on residential or commercial rooftops, it provides solar electricity to all the electrical ports and sockets. Through this grid-tied connection, the system can capture solar energy, transform it into electrical power, and supply it to the homes where various electronic devices can use it.

A system connected to the utility grid is known as a grid-connected energy system or a grid-connected PV system.
