http://www.greenpowerscience.com/ This is a grid tie inverter that is 200 watts. It actually reads a bit higher for various reasons. This was to see how well it worked. POWER INVERTERS.
@calimanmancali Depends where you live. There are state laws, local codes, and contract provisions by the power companies. In my area it requires insurance, an official inspection, and a statement from the COMPANY that manufactures the components. You would never get a DIY system through those hurdles. But different areas and different power companies may have different rules.
yeah i thought about that too, using it as a buffer, from battery it takes about 18w or so from 12v battery ( even though it says it can take between 10v upto 28v ) , but hooking two 12v batteries together to get 24v then should take more somebody else adviced, more efficient than and all, i shall make sometime a movie too from stuff i got & all ... thanks
ok, i have a grid-tie inverter now but it says range of 10v or so till 28v or so, so with 12v solar panels it should also work then , not ? however in the manual it says it requires a minimum of 30w for it to work ( for a 200w grid-tie inverter ) , i have 48w in totall on solar panels, hooked it up and red fault led burning alot , and the green led when plugged to wall-socket is good , does this mean that the sun wasnt shining enough to get to minimum of 30w or other problem ?
@WRH052970 you can use them all on the same circuit as everything else, they don't have to be seperate, good idea to put it on a surge protector though.
Not a greedy meter, the Grid Tie inverter must sense the incoming power feed from the outside grid. When you turned the main power to off the safety feature kicked in and no output power was feeding to the grid. This is so if power is lost it wont kill a line worker outside at the pole. Still got your point across and was a nice job explaining energy savings.
Hi! I'm using multiple grid-tie inverters in my house, however my meter is not the traditional one. Rather I'm using a prepayment card of prepaid meter? Though during daytime, my electricity consumption seems to have reduced a bit but I'm not sure if it makes my prepaid go backward? Can you discuss about this issue for me? Likewise, my wind turbine is just generating a fluctuating volts between 6-12 volts, can this voltage ranges really make a difference? Thanks

could i modify an inverter to become a grid tie? like you say you need to just match the frequency an regulate the voltage, like a batter charger.

You need to make a kilowatt an hour to turn back the meter. Or about five hours of 200 watts of power.

@SpeedManiac1976 i think you should hook the inverter to the battery and the solar panel t the battery
