These selected few , Software led Smart Solar inverters allow home owner to be a part of smart grid

Below Grid Forming solar inverters will allow you to be a part of the future mesh of the distributed grid….

A smart inverter, with grid forming capabilities can connect & communicate to a distributed grid, thousands of home owners like you. Smart inverters sense the grid (i.e. voltage and frequency) and can respond individually in ways that help maintain grid stability rather than just shutting off.

These are the recommended makes of Grid forming inverters from PathToGreenEnergy based on functionality, communication and cyber resilience.  

The role of traditional “dumb” inverters, in technical terms is limited to power conversion and grid following:-

The role of such standard inverters is becoming  monolithic because it lacks “grid forming” features and can’t communication to the local grid operator for grid stabilisation activities.

Traditional solar inverters are cheaper and serve the basic purpose to convert solar power (DC) to household power (AC) with “grid following” features. Traditional inverters will co-exist along with smart inverters in developed countries but will not be able to form the grid and not participate compensation activities.

In developing countries which have less developed grid, low solar rooftop penetration and where home owners pay a flat tariff per unit of electricity (vs time of day), the traditional inverters are expected to have major market share.  

From 2021-2025, in most developed countries, “grid forming residential inverters” will immensely benefit customers.  

The complexity of services consisting of a battery and an inverter has increased significantly since 2021. Using smart inverter models, some markets like the US and UK, which are very dynamic and participatory will immensely benefit the residential user in an automatic way. Thousands of homes come together basically as a distributed energy resource. Imagine it like leasing your car to Uber to earn a little extra cash !!!  

As the portfolio of energy storage markets grow the home residential user can think about how best they can increase their earnings .  

Every electricity market has the same problems (like frequency and volt var.) which can now be solved by distributed (<10KW) PV Systems Some markets are there already and other will be there soon.
