Active power factor correction (not only) for photovoltaic power plant is possible thanks to compensatory unit UNIKOMPENZATOR . UNIKOMPENZATOR allows to compensate the power factor in range from -0.95 capacitive to -0.95 inductive. It is also possible to compensate on high voltage side, when using an external power factor measurement.

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:

• Inverter in this circuit is solely for powering the boiler coil. It is not possible to connect any other device to the inverter output

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

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.

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.
