You are talking apple and oranges. For most people, they simply want to save money. Grid tied systems require the grid to operate properly.

I can sell you the parts if you want to self install, no issue. You do need to be competent with electrical and roof work.

We prefer to work with local solar installers. We do some locally, in the Houston area.
