Off Grid Schneider SW system - sell back to the grid

ligwyd · December 7

Hi there.

Customer currently has a functioning System that is only used if the grid goes down. Otherwise it sits idle.

Customer would like to make the necessary changes in equip to facilitate the system to be grid interactive (sell back excess solar production to the grid).

See below pic of system as it is now. I believe there is 16 - 480 watt panels (7.68kW) on the roof.

I would like to know what equip would be suggested, to enable this current system to be able to sell back excess solar production the grid?

Thank you,

John

XW pro if you want to keep the xanbus network compatibility.

Thats what I was thinking. Will have to make some room on the mounting board area......

Just for conversation: Here is what Schneider said:

"Thank you for contacting Schneider Electric Solar.

Please note that SW inverter can export to the grid only in an AC Coupled configuration."

What would you thought on this as an option Dave?

It would seem nutty to me. You would have to get a grid inverter to replace the mppt or add a second solar system to AC couple.

Agreed. Best bet then - replace the SW with the XW which can sell back.

Any more words off wisdom in doing so?

Thanks Dave.
