We sat down for a meeting with all of the local big-shots. They proceeded to let us know that we are not allowed to feed any excess PV power onto their grid, production cannot exceed demand. I am hoping that y’all might be able to steer me towards a contactor assembly or device that would detect reverse current flow, trigger the contactor, then open up the inverter AC output circuit. The service is 3-phase, 208 volt. The maximum current we intend to introduce is 70 amps, continuous.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Appreciate your advice,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Karl Jaeger<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>Operations Manager<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>LightWave Solar Electric<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'>www.lightwavesolar.com<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
