Off Grid. • Battery Based Grid Tie. • AC Coupled. What type of system do I need? All of MidNite Solar’s Pre Wired systems are fully customizable for your needs www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
Stand alone system • Will not sell back to the utility • Various inverters available for Off Grid (Some will do both) • 120 or 120/240? Off Grid www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
Sells to the grid • Runs critical loads during grid failure • Do you need 120vac or 120/240vac • Some models support generator input as well Grid Tie With Battery Backup www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
Adds battery backup to a purely grid tie system. • Adds some complexity to the system. • Best suited for existing grid tie systems as an add on. AC Coupled www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
AC Coupled • Growing market segment • Can be confusing! • Can be complicated! • Numerous ways to go • MidNite has taken most of the mystique out of the equation www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
AC Coupling is a controlled back feed to a battery based inverter A back feed is hooking up AC to the output of an inverter AC coupling is a synchronizedback feed. The grid tie inverter shifts frequency to match the battery based inverter before connecting. This makes it ok to do. What is AC Coupled ? www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
Not all battery based sinewave inverters are capable of back feed. Your choices in North America are: SMA Sunny Island Outback FX, VFX and Radian Magnum PAE series Schneider XW series What is AC Coupled ? www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
Magnum and OutBack inverters sense circuits that control charging are on the AC inputs not the output, therefore cannot controlthe charging • These inverters charge wide open and cannot taper off. • A relay is required to disconnect the GT What is AC Coupled ? www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
SMA and Schneider use frequency shift to knock the GT inverter offline to stop the charging. • The Sunny Island will control a Sunny Boy to do tapered charging. What is AC Coupled ? www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
Radian and the Schneider have 2 AC inputs so a generator can be added. • Provisions must be added to disconnect the GT inverter when the generator runs or the GT will try to sell to the Inverter. Generators and AC Coupled www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
Outback, Magnum and Schneider have a 1:1 ratio limit. • SMA has a 2:1 ratio • The customer may not need all of the grid tie solar as part of the ac coupled. Sizing Of The Off Grid Inverter www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
120 vac per single unit. • Either Grid tie or Off Grid not both. Both AC couple. • Grid tie models (G series) does not play well with generators. • Smaller scale and expandable. • 12,24 and 48VDC models available Outback FX series www.midnitesolar.com Ph. 360-403-7207 Fax 360-691-6862
