Description
On-Grid Load Sharing Inverters:
An on-grid load sharing inverter is used in grid-tied systems, where the solar power system is connected to the utility grid. These inverters are responsible for managing and optimizing the flow of electricity between the solar panels, the grid, and any other sources of energy (like batteries or backup generators, if applicable).
Key Features:
- Grid Connection: The inverter synchronizes with the utility grid and sends any excess solar energy back to the grid. This reduces the reliance on the utility grid, allows for net metering (earning credits for excess power sent to the grid), and ensures energy availability during times of low solar generation.
- Load Sharing: In case of a power outage, some on-grid inverters have features that enable them to switch to emergency backup mode using batteries or generators, though they will usually not operate without the grid.
- Battery Integration: Inverters can be combined with battery storage systems to store excess power generated during the day, which can then be used at night or during periods of high demand. This is especially useful in solar-plus-storage systems.
- Maximizing Efficiency: The inverter manages the power flow between the solar system, the grid, and local loads to ensure optimal efficiency and minimal losses.
Applications:
- Residential, commercial, and industrial installations connected to the grid
- Solar power systems that aim to reduce electricity bills or maximize energy independence
- Systems that participate in demand response programs or net metering
