The microgrid consists of at least one energy source that is connected to a load in a relatively small area. In practice, microgrid are divided into two types, off-grid systems or often said to be standalone systems and on-grid systems that are connected to utility networks. The use of renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic, has become an alternative energy for the problem of electricity energy deficits. This research examines the possibility of saving power consumption from the network using a grid-tie inverter (GTI) power converter in a microgrid configuration so synchronization can be made between renewable energy systems and utility networks. The integration of photovoltaic energy resources with the grid system will increase the value of electricity capacity while reducing the use of fossil fuels, as well as a positive impact where the use of renewable energy can reduce energy use and bills to be paid. Integration of grid tie testing carried out without a load can convert the power generated by almost 90% distributed in the utility network, while testing with a load using a grid tie system, can save power up to 70% of the energy supplied by the utility network.
