4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Design standards for off-grid inverters - Inala Strategic Solar”
How to design an off-grid PV power system?
The design of an off-grid PV power system should meet the required energy demand and maximum power demands of the end-user. However, there are times when other constraints need to be considered as they will affect the final system configuration and selected equipment. These include:
Do inverters comply with the requirements outlined in this section?
In addition to the requirements and recommendations listed in this section, inverters shall also comply with the requirements outlined in Component-based Off-Grid Solar Energy Systems – Quality Assurance Framework Overview, Section 3.7.
Does this guideline support off-grid solar installations?
This Guideline supports solar installations that are off-grid and include systems where all the energy is supplied from solar photovoltaic modules (or when a fuelled generator is used either as a back-up or daily).
How does an off-grid inverter work?
In off-grid systems, a multifunction relay is activated during the constant voltage phase, and thus controls additional loads (see the Sunny Island inverter installation manual). By switching on additional loads, any excess energy that may be available and which would otherwise have to be dissipated can be put to good use.
