Solar electrical workPanels, inverters and grid connection

What it covers

The electrical side of a solar system

Solar electrical work is the wiring that connects solar panels to your home and to the grid. It includes the inverter, disconnects, the connection at your panel and any battery wiring.

Checking whether the main panel can accept solar
Inverter and rapid shutdown wiring
AC and DC disconnects and labeling
Battery-ready wiring for backup during outages

National Grid approval

A grid-tied system in Syracuse connects to National Grid lines. National Grid must approve the interconnection before the system turns on.

Syracuse factors

Solar in a snowy city with older panels

Many older Syracuse homes have small or full panels. Solar may need a panel change or a subpanel before it can connect.

Standard grid-tied solar shuts off during an outage for safety. Backup during a winter outage needs a battery system or a standby generator.

Snow cover reduces output in winter. Panel tilt and placement affect how quickly snow slides off.

Permits

Solar work needs permits and inspections from the City of Syracuse, plus utility approval. The installer and electrician coordinate both.

Existing systems

Repairs on existing solar systems

Solar systems also need electrical service. Common problems include inverter faults, tripped breakers on the solar circuit and damaged wiring after storms or roof work.

A licensed electrician tests the AC side, the disconnects and the connection at the panel. Panel and inverter warranty issues go back to the installer or maker.

Roof replacements often require the solar array to be removed and reinstalled. Plan the electrical disconnect and reconnect with the roofer and the electrician.
