GRID CONNECT SOLAR USER MANUAL
2.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The sun produces photons which your solar panel cells capture and then produce a
flow of electricity into the metal strands of the module through your array of panels
down to your inverter which converts the voltage type from DC to AC which runs
through your premises.
2.1 Private/Residential class 1 installs
If your solar system is producing more power than you are using, the excess power
will go out to the grid through your new bi-directional meter in which you will sell
back to your retailer at the same price you bought it for. (eg. If you pay 25c per
kilowatt hour, you will receive a credit of 25c per kilowatt hour sent back to the
grid). The amount of kilowatt hours exported can be viewed on your electricity
meter under number 23 on the screen.
2.2 Private/Residential or Small Commercial Class 2
For class 2 type systems (larger than 5kw single phase or 7kw three phase but less
than or equal to 30kw) there is no exporting of power from your solar system
allowed, this type of solar system will have an export limiting device installed, so it
will only offset the amount of power needed on the premises.
