How to ''trick'' PV into staying on during a grid outage

That is the Grid, not the grid. The GTI is a current source, so it does not inherently need to raise the voltage above what it sees coming in. And the grid can be considered for this purpose to be an infinite power source and sink with near zero series impedance in the equivalent circuit.

6 Frequently Asked Questions about “Solar outdoor smart grid does not cheat and automatically shuts off”

Should off-grid solar modules be triggered by a grid shutdown?

The whole purpose of off-grid solar modules (let's say they are on the roof) connected directly to batteries is to charge them during a long grid failure. So if (module level?) RSDs has to be triggered by a grid shutdown, that would defeat the purpose.

How do I charge my solar panels off the grid?

To charge your solar panels off the grid, you can add a new additional off-grid-only inverter and its associated batteries and a Charge Controller and switch the connection on your solar panels to the Charge Controller when the grid is down and you are using battery power. This will result in a large and expensive Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) whose batteries are kept charged from the grid 99% of the time.

Will a grid tie inverter shut down automatically?

The vast majority automatically detect a grid down scenario and shut down automatically. If a grid tie inverter does not have this feature, you can be sure that the utility will not approve it, and using it will assuredly be breaking several laws and codes. Also many of the grid tie inverters have no provision for charging/monitoring batteries.

Why does my PV system disconnect from the grid?

For obvious safety reasons my residential PV system disconnects from the grid if it notes the grid is down. The thing is it also shuts itself off so that during a grid blackout rather than providing me power but detaching from the grid the inverter disconnects itself from both the grid and the panels leaving me without power.

Does an off-grid inverter work?

And if the stars align it might work....sorry your inverter fried....and your house burnt down. If this is a new system, just buy a hybrid inverter with off-grid capability. It will have a disconnect relay to disconnect from the grid side when the power fails and then operate in off-grid mode.

Can a grid-tie inverter provide backup power?

Here is a list and many in here can do it. Hybrid inverters, mostly used in grid-tie solar systems, can provide backup power when the electric grid fails. Call 877-878-4060 to size your system today. I think about not feeding directly power into the grid-tie inverter but over a current limiting light bulb.
