FAQS 4

Does a solar inverter cause a voltage rise?

Voila, Solar Voltage Rise. In the ideal situation, the voltage rise is not a problem: the inverter increases the grid voltage from 240 volts to 242 volts. The problem arises when the customer’s cables between the inverter and the grid are too small for the size of their solar system. Let’s get back to basics to understand why.

How does a solar inverter work?

When your solar system is producing more power than your home is using, it sends the excess back to the grid. In order for power to flow from your home to the grid, the voltage from the solar inverter has to produce a voltage that is a couple of volts higher than the grid voltage. Voila, Solar Voltage Rise.

Why do solar inverters need a voltage range?

This range is critical for the inverter to efficiently convert the DC electricity from the photovoltaic (PV) array into usable AC power. The input voltage is a dynamic parameter that varies based on factors such as the type of inverter, its design, and the specific requirements of the solar power system.

What is voltage rise in a solar power system?

Voltage rise in a solar power system is defined as the difference between the solar inverter voltage and the grid. This increase has to always be within specified limits, as high as 2%, since high voltage would create problems in the protection scheme and may stall the system completely.
