God damn, what kind of solar setup is this? You said you don't need batteries for backup? How is that even possible? What happens once the sun goes down in the evening and night? Wowu
My solar farm is tied to the grid. So anything I produce in excess of what I consume, flows back into the grid. At night and on cloudy/rainy days, I draw power from the grid. With the Net Metering arrangement I have, I'm credited for every kWh I put back into the grid at the same rate they charge me, i.e. ~ $0.12 per kWh.
So the grid act as a battery for you? Damn, that's a good setup. I know many countries try to stimulate people to invest in solar energy under this 'we buy back your excess electricity' scheme but the slots are very limited since electricity companies also have to invest in the electric lines, power stations,... to receive and deliver your excess electricity back to the grid and outward it to those need it.
Yep, a lot of complex stuff behind the grid so your plans work depending on the location. I know someplace, they won't accept excess electricity into their grid since it could cause an outage over their
max loaded grid
