AC Coupling in PV Systems- How to Stay Powered Up When the Utility Fails

Live Lecture: How to Utilize Grid Tied PV Panels during a Utility Outage


November 27, 2012

On Thursday December 6th at 6PM CDT, SolPowerPeople welcomes Alan Santos-Buch of Magnum Energy, Inc. to present a lecture on AC Coupling technology and applications. This session will focus on how to add battery back-up to an existing grid tied installation, allowing solar energy to be collected and used even during a utility power outage.

During a utility power outage, most PV system owners are left without power, despite the fact that they have the potential ability to harvest solid streaming energy from the sun. AC Coupling offers an efficient and relatively easily installed solution to this problem that allows the solar customer to continue operating electrically, without interruption.

AC coupling design makes it possible to alter a standard grid-tied PV installation to include a storage method that will allow operation through a sub-panel during a utility outage.  Not only does the AC coupled PV system continue to power loads and charge the battery bank, but it does so at a very high efficiency.  With a traditional DC coupled PV Design with a battery back-up, a fair amount of energy would be lost in the inversion process.  
 

Solar customers now have the ability to be grid-connected and have efficiently harvested energy when the grid goes down- all with a slight modification to their already installed system. 

SolPowerPeople welcomes Magnum Inverter technical specialist Alan Santos-Buch on Thursday, December 6th to present a one-hour lecture on "AC Coupling in PV Systems". The lecture will be followed by Q & A, and attendees are encouraged to participate.  

Since July 2011, Alan has worked with Magnum Energy Inc. as a Technical Sales, Training, and Support specialist.  He is also currently a managing partner at Solar Power Fit, LLC, and formerly worked with Apollo Solar, Inc. as national sales director. You may contact Alan at (425)353-8833, extension 111 or via email at: ASantosBuch@MagnumEnergy.com. 

Become a #SolarMOOC (Solar Massive Open Online Course) participant to receive an invitation to the webinar lecture with instructions to join. 

You may also register through SolPowerPeople's Webex system and wing it- (the password to join is 9999). 

Psst... Don't miss this Thursday November 29th with Rene Geneva. In her #SolarMOOC lecture she will share how to build a mobile solar trailer equipped with an off grid power supply.  With this plan,  you could be lighting up the night with stored power from the sun in as little as 48 hours. Again, password is 9999.
