I want to buy a system and install it but I can not find an answer on how the hook up works.
Buried in that link is the answer to your question.
The DC voltage generated by the solar array is converted to AC, at the voltage supplied by the electric utility. The inverter senses the phase of the incoming power, and matches this

Is there a limitation of power recieve per square metre of colar cell? If there is,how many kWh?
There are two limits that I know of. The sun only puts out so much energy per square meter. So if you depend on the sun shining on the solar collector directly, there the limit called the solar constant (see ref 1). It is measured by satellite to...

i'm pondering the idea of having solar panels installed on my house. one of the methods to go about doing this is the grid tied method, in which the solar power is used to work against the power meter. in any case my question is, if there is a...
My understanding of this method is that your panels supply power to your residence and excess to the power company. So I guess it depends on the size of your system for sustainability.
Hi!
I have a solar powered AC generator (5hp AC motor spun by a stirling engine), and I want to put the outputted energy into the power grid. However, I don't know how to connect it so that the engine will spin the motor (producing current)...
You need to talk with your power company before you attempt to connect anything. There are serious safety concerns with supplying power back to the grid and a special meter is required if you want to get paid for it in most locations. When I say...
The sun produces about 1000 watts per square meter. Solar panels are about twenty percent efficient.
This panel produces 120 watts and is 0.66 square meters, which is 180 watts per square meter.

Five Truths About Our Energy Future
Here's the thing that forecasts about energy use and production tend to have in common: they're probably wrong. From the predictions in the 1950s that nuclear energy would one day be too cheap to meter, to the belief in the 1970s that the world would run on solar power by the end of the 20th century, would-be energy prophecies have seemed to come from very cloudy crystal balls. Today the biggest trend affecting global energy markets is the explosive growth of shale natural gas — something that virtually no one thought was even viable 20 years ago. Technological advances, new discoveries, unexpected economic crises, environmental concerns — all of these factors can skew our expectations about how we'll be powering our homes, cars and industries tomorrow. So when you listen to the gloomy forecasts from peak-oil theorists or hear the sunnily optimistic scenarios of energy executives, keep this in mind: the future is really, really hard to predict.
Helio · Smart or not-so Smart Meter?
As a solar energy consultant, I had heard from one of my customers that his local utility’s smart meter did not have the capability of crediting him for the excess electricity generated by his solar power system. Armed with the data from his solar power system monitoring program, this customer was able to go back to his gas and electric company and successfully garner a credit for his electricity overproduction. Immediately I could tell my solar power system was producing more electricity than my household needed and thus was sending electricity back to the power company. Watching the meter, it became apparent that not only was I not being credited for my solar generated electricity, but the number of kilowatt hours charged on the digital meter was actually increasing.
