A very interesting solution consists of special so-called "hybrid" inverters that accept as input both a string of photovoltaic panels and the 230 V AC power grid; a contactor driven by the control electronics, allows switching the load to the grid or to the output of the inverter according to the power demand, i.e., the presence of photovoltaic voltage.
In a grid connected PV system, also known as a "grid-tied", or "on-grid" solar system, the PV solar panels or array are electrically connected or "tied" to the local mains electricity grid which feeds electrical energy back into the grid.
Power grids are the foundation of energy systems, playing a key role in the energy transition by enabling the use of renewable energy sources (RES). To meet the growing demand for renewable energy, the world may need to integrate RES into power grids—but there are hurdles to overcome.
Indeed, a photovoltaic system can be connected to the building electrical installation at different places: to the main low-voltage (LV) switchboard, to a secondary LV switchboard, or upstream from the main LV switchboard.
