Photovoltaic solutions

Simple on-grid connection - energy production and injection of the energy to the grid.

Advantages:

• Simplicity - no need for anything extra, if the sun is shining, the inverter produces energy

Disadvantages:

• In the event of a mains failure the inverter does not generate voltage, thus the appliances in the house are without power
• Requirement of power plant registration

FOTO CONTROL 230/375 DC

Mode with inverter grid connection (on-grid) to cover own (household) consumption, zero energy injection is ensured by extension module for voltage and current measurement - RM GRID MONITOR . Inverters deliver energy only when the grid is present.

It is appropriate to use the optional continuous power regulator SRVS-10/230, which can be used to distribute unused power - the excess of the panels, and use it to supply the heating units like a boiler coil or an electric radiator. The advantage of this power regulator is the continuous nature of power, allowing optimal use of your photovoltaic system. Please, see simplified wiring diagram .

Solution increases the energy yield from the panels by 30 to 40% compared to conventional methods, and allows the use of ordinary AC or special DC coils in the boiler.

Advantages:

• High yield of solar panels for water heating
• No need of power plant registration

Disadvantages:

Mode with inverter grid connection (on-grid) to cover own (household) consumption. Zero energy injection is ensured by extension module for voltage and current measurement - RM GRID MONITOR . Uninterrupted switching to off-grid mode (island) during grid failures or blackout. After renewal of grid presence, another uninterrupted switching to on-grid mode is performed. Thanks to these smooth transition, appliances do not notice these grid outages.

In case of a requirement for three-phase system, inverters are synchronized using the RM SYNC extension module. Electrical grid parameters (limit values for the maximum line frequency, underfrequency, undervoltage, overvoltage) are continuously monitored by an certified external voltage and frequency monitoring relay KM-HRM. In the event of grid failure, inverters are immediately disconnected from the electrical grid by a contactor - main disconnecting place. Possibility of complete delivery of electric switchgear for connecting panels, inverters, batteries, appliances and electrical grid.

Advantages:

• Appliances in the house have reliable power even during grid outage

Disadvantages:

• Slightly higher complexity of installation
• Requirement of power plant registration

RM GRID MONITOR is a device for FOTO CONTROL 1f inverters used for voltage and current measuring at the point of coupling to the electrical grid.

• Individual device mountable on DIN rail
• External power supply 24V DC

• Monitoring the energy flow
• Measurement of phase voltage and current
• Switching of two external appliances
• Extending the inverter features to allow limitation of the grid injection

The RM GRID MONITOR module is physically installed in the household switchboard. When connecting the inverter with the RM GRID MONITOR extension module, power and current at the inlet to the building are measured. Depending on this, it can be very easy and effective to regulate the power of the hybrid inverter. The inverter is also connected to the power supply (48V battery, wind turbine, etc.). According to the current state of energy flow, inverter is set to maximize solar energy share and it can be set to ensure zero grid injection (depends on local legislative).

RM-SYNC module can be connected to FOTO CONTROL 1f inverters.

• Individual device mountable on DIN rail
• Power supply 24V DC, can be powered from the inverter connector

• Generating control (synchronization) pulses for the inverters to generate three-phase grid
• Inbuilt display
• Measures the mains voltage
• RS485 communication

For using the excess energy from ypur PV system, we have developed a continuous power regulator SRVS 10/230, which can be used to distribute unused power - the excess of the panels, and use it to supply the heating units like a boiler coil or an electric radiator.
The main advantage of our power regulator is the sine shape of the output voltage, which reduces any undesired disturbance of the grid or surrounding devices. Continuous power regulator allows optimal use of your photovoltaic system.

Technical data:

Dimensions: width x height x depth = [104 x 139 x 250] mm
Rated current: I_N=10A
Rated power: P_N=2150W
Control: Analog signal (2-10VDC)
Input voltage: 1x230V~AC , 50Hz (inverter)
Output voltage: Controlled sine-shaped 1x0-230V~AC, 50Hz (heating element)

Electronic continuous power regulator SRV 10/230AC is used to power an electrical resistive load, for example domestic hot water heater (boiler) or floor, wall or ceiling heating resistance wire. SRV 10/230AC allows control of AC voltage while maintaining high efficiency and low interference to the network. Supply voltage for the SRV 10 / 230AC is provided from the output of the inverter. This makes the exploitation of maximum power from PV panels possible at concurrent requirement for zero grid injection.

Rectifier module UM-01/230AC rectifies single-phase input voltage 230 V AC, 50Hz, to output DC voltage to power the FOTO CHARGER DC 48 charger. Combining the rectifier module UM-01/230AC and FOTO CHARGER DC 48 charger, grid charger is created. The requirement to recharge the battery from electrical grid is based on long-term low light state of solar panels and discharged battery.
