Micro Grid - tie Solar Systems

 Grid-tie micro inverter systems includes a solar panel and a micro inverter. The solar panel is connected directly to the micro inverter. Then the micro inverter converts the DC electricity to AC electricity and synchronizes this AC output with the voltage and frequency of the grid. this output is connected to the consumer's side of the power meter of their AC Main Panel. 

 Off-grid solar systems include solar panels, charge controller, and a battery. The solar panels are connected directly to the charge controller. Then the charge controller supplies DC electricity to the inverter to generate AC electricity. Any excess energy is stored in the battery. These systems can also incorporate a diesel/gasoline/propane generator. 

 Mobile power systems can be small portable systems that can be carried by hand to large kilo-watt systems on trailers. They can be grid-tied to supplement a local grid or off-grid to supply power where the grid is not accessible. These systems can also incorportate a diesel/gasoline/propane generator.

 Power generated by the solar panel is supplied to the load. Any excess power created is diverted to the grid to supplement the grid power. If the solar panel is not supplying enough power for the loads, the extra energy is supplied by the grid. Micro inverter solar systems use the grid for energy storage instead of a battery. During the day when the sun is producing energy and the grid demand is high, the solar panels are supplementing the grid. At night when the grid demand is low, the power for the loads is supplied by the grid. 

 Stationary off-grid solar power systems are a cost effective solution where grid power is not accessible. Power generated by the solar panel is supplied to the loads. Any excess power generated is stored in the battery. When the solar panel is not generating enough energy for the load demand, the extra energy comes from the battery. These systems can be designed to run critical loads with many days of autonomy (no sun). Extra autonomy can be accomplished by larger solar array/battery or a diesel/gasoline/propane/natural gas generator. 

 Mobile systems can be small hand carried systems to large multi kilo-watt systems loaded on trailers. They can be designed to be grid connected to supplement the local grid power or completely off-grid to generate electricity where the grid is not accessible. Mobile off-grid systems can have large battery banks for many days of autonomy (no sun) and/or include diesel/gasoline/propane generators to insure a reliable and continuous energy source.
