Safe, simple protection for sites that combine solar PV with backup generation
When the mains supply fails on a site with a standby generator, the solar PV system can become a problem. The PV inverters may treat the generator’s output as a healthy grid and carry on exporting. That can push power back into the generator, upset its voltage and frequency control, and cause nuisance tripping or damage.
Our PV Drop Out Panels stop this from happening. As soon as mains is lost, the panel isolates the PV system and keeps it off while the generator is running. The PV is only reconnected once mains has been safely restored.
