Solar Panel Grid Packages
When doing a Photovoltaic grid connection…?
I have noticed some material that says the inverter ties into the meter and power flows from the meter to the distribution panel: http://www.altestore.com/store/Kits-and-Package-Deals/Grid-Tied-Systems/Alt-E-Designed-Grid-Tie-Packages/AltE-Grid-Tied-Package-System-A-1kw/p6629/
While other material indicates that the inverter is before the panel and after the meter: http://homepower.com/basics/solar/#SolarElectricSystemComponents
Is one or the other “correct”? If both are used when is one preferred over the other or what are the advantages of one installation over the other?
Thanks Percy, my email is available, but I am presently more curious about the different approaches than a practical application.
i am not sure, both should work same way but i doubt that any utility company would be ok with users connecting anything to the grid before meter. if one has access to power before meter, what prevents them from stealing power?
