The best ones are from Canada, but you have to have a professional electrician install the GRID compnonents, and tell your local power authority/make sure it is okay. In Ontario, the Government will PAY you to generate electricity in this way. They pay TWICE the standard rate.

solar panel in a grid tied system?

We Answered:

Typical solar panels used on household systems generate between 100 and 150 watts each. You might get the equivalent of five hours of sunshine per day on the average. 500 to 750 watt hours per day would be the average output. Where I live that would save only about six to nine cents per day.

Learn more about photovoltaic solar systems by searching for "solar panels" on the Internet, and in the green search box above on this page.

Is it feasible to put a small fridge on a solar panel grid?

We Answered:

It's feasible to run a house on solar panels. Is it cost effective, not really.

You would need solar panels, 12volt batteries, and an inverter. It would have to be sized to handle the small fridge motor. I would guess about $1500 to $2000.

Here is some info. on solar grid tie systems.
