Zero Export Solar

Zero export equipment prevents large scale solar systems from exporting excess power into the electricity grid.

Zero export solar.

Zero export control by sma solar. With a zero export requirement none of the solar power produced by your system is allowed to go into the grid at all. The zero export controller measures in real time the power flowing in the system and adjusts the set point of the solar system accordingly. In case of energy flow towards the grid the elgris zero export will reduce the solar system.

Even with a zero export limit the size of a solar system that has a simple payback period that many people should find reasonable given how long they can last 7 can be quite large. Export limitation means that the amount of solar energy in the system is controlled by adjusting the set point of the inverter in the system. In addition to these complexities there may also be utility requirements that can involve extensive grid studies which can add components. In adelaide it s 8 kilowatts due to high electricity prices while in melbourne the current victorian solar homes rebate of 1 888 can boost it from 6 kilowatts to 8.

With net metering being discontinued in many states in india and around the globe zero export becomes the need of the hour. When there is a positive balance in the system all solar energy is being used within the installation. What are zero export solutions. In the default approach all solar energy produced that is in excess of demand within your home or business is shunted off serving no useful purpose.

It is important to choose a high quality ramping solution. For commercial pv systems there are often more processes involved with the design and assessment of a site compared to smaller residential systems.
