Large scale deployment of solar pv in India issues

solar PV

How can we convert the existing

home inverters in to a
solar inverters?
Rate This
While there is a considerable interest in the utility scale grid
connected solar power plants, roof top systems are equally getting
attention and the country has about 43 MW of roof top systems
connected to the grid. Rooftop PV systems find much more
attractive due to the fact that these systems have potential to
reduce transmission and distribution losses reduce additional
burden of laying the T&D infrastructure. Connecting roof top solar
PV systems to the grid is a great challenge, specially the rooftop
systems which are in kW capacity, the utilities face tremendous
challenge in terms handling the unstable sources of electricity at
distributed level. While the PV system cost have come down
considerably, roof top systems provide altogether a new market to
the urban households who already has an inverter and battery
storage systems as back up source in the event of grid
unavailability.
Most of Indian households are not having electricity access due to
grid unavailability and have to install inverters which charge
batteries from the mains and use the same electricity during the
periods of non availability of grid. The grid supply is generally not
available from 30%-50% of time in the small towns and condition
in villages is even worse where the electricity supply is available

for a period of only 8hrs in a day. Often the grid supply is not even
enough to charge these inverters to provide uninterrupted power
supply. These inverters when under the charging mode create
additional peak demand which at times makes the load relief
measure undertaken by the Utility as irrelevant. Integrating solar
Photovoltaic with these existing home inverter system can provide
relief to the households for additional charging option apart from
normal grid charging of the storage batteries and will also reduce
the system peak which create another set of problems to the
utilities. In the event of non requirement of solar electricity at the
household, these surplus electricity can be fed back to the grid as
well. Firstgreen along with some of the leading solar inverter
manufacturer have developed a special device which can convert
your existing home inverter in to a solar which can charge the
existing battery through the solar panels as well. The home owner
has to install this converter along with the existing inverter which
also act as a a battery charge controller and connects the AC mains
& load output control system all in one.
