Re: [EVDL] : V2g for DIY EV's (Grid Tie!)

2020-05-27 Thread Robert Bruninga via EV
I was going to say that an inverter that cannot backfeed the grid is an enormous economic waste of investment because when one is generating say, 8 kW during mid day and one's house is only drawing say 400 Watts, then the rest of the 8kW solar investement is giving NOTHING for its value. Even with

Why is this an inverter problem ? If there's no load, then there's no current through the inverter. I'm not sure what the effect is on the solar cells, themselves, but it seems that's where the problem ends up. Regardless, I assume it is not too bad for the cells since they have to be designed

Ah hA! You beat me to it. I was thinking of an optical mouse to sense direction too! Clever. But again, the only answer to solar economy is simply to get a Permit and a NET meter. Done Bob -Original Message- From: EV On Behalf Of Mr. Sharkey via EV Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2020 3:33

Just to clarify... ALL GT inverters use MPPT tracking which means they will produce maximum AC current into the grid at its maximum rated capacity at all times (up to what the solar panels are currently producing). GT inverters are *current sources* that will push that current into the load (grid)

I disagree. When you make a $10,000 investment in a solar array, any sun that falls on it and does not give you retail value in return for the electricity is truly a wasted economic value. With GT, there is no such thing as wasted, or excess power, its all converted to $$$ on your electric bill.
