The essential device of a grid interactive photovoltaic installation is the inverter. It acts as an interface between the solar array and the utility grid. The utility-interactive inverter differs from the stand-alone unit in that it can function only when tied to the utility grid.
A domestic solar PV system consists of several solar panels mounted generally to your roof and connected to the electrical loads within your building. The solar panels generate DC (direct current – like a battery) electricity, which is then converted in an inverter to AC (alternating current – like the electricity in your domestic socket).
All systems installed must comply with the requirements set out in the Code of Practice as published on the SEAI website and the Declaration of Works must be completed and signed off by a Solar PV Scheme Registered Installer. In addition, registered Installers must provide homeowners with the following to achieve compliance under Scheme Rules:
Install a 1” metal conduit from designated inverter location to electrical service panel (cap and label both ends). Install and label a 70-amp dual pole circuit breaker in the electrical service panel for use by the PV system (label the service panel). Provide architectural drawing and riser diagram of RERH solar PV system components.
The Installer must satisfy themselves, and certify, that the solar PV system installation has been designed, installed, tested, and commissioned in accordance with the code of practice, and other relevant codes, standards and building regulations.
The PV system must incorporate features that ensure safety and quality of the utility service. This results in specific requirements on the power conditioning hardware (Figure 9.16). When the photovoltaic system is interconnected with the utility distribution network a two-way flow of electric energy will be established (Figure 9.17).
