<div dir="ltr">Many inverters have the option to zero-sell (no export to the grid) but you need an additional CT on the main service conductors so the inverter can monitor the loads and ramp down production if it starts to get close to producing more than the loads require. <div><br></div><div>I'd suggest getting into the manuals and white papers of the inverter manufacturers to determine if they can do this. I believe both SolarEdge and Enphase can do it. I'd assume others can as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Will</div><div><br></div><div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><b style="font-size:12.8px">Will White</b><div style="font-size:12.8px">Curriculum Developer</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><img src="https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=12H3Cu2gnX7TKTeETn1WsYqa8cp6gsEj1&revid=0B7yAwArWHgPbNzhGK00wT0diY1c1NWhlRlNocDRVd045eTFjPQ" width="420" height="52"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">e: </span><a href="mailto:will@solarenergy.org" style="font-size:12.8px" target="_blank">will@solarenergy.org</a><span style="font-size:12.8px"> </span><br></div><div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px">w: <a href="http://www.solarenergy.org/" target="_blank">www.solarenergy.org</a> </span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">p: 802-272-3092<br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><div>NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional</div><div># 093006-34</div></span></div><div><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">Do you envision a world powered by renewable energy? </span><a href="http://solarenergy.org/donate" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:x-small" target="_blank">Be the change</a><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:x-small">.</span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Mar 30, 2021 at 9:24 PM greg egan <<a href="mailto:greg@remotepowerinc.com">greg@remotepowerinc.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Wrenches, I've got a small system using SolarEdge inverter (4 kW) that <br>
is supposed to go in to a small town that does not allow selling power <br>
to the grid. That may change but that is how it stands now. The <br>
customer wants to use the power that is generated but can not sell or <br>
even give excess power away. Do any of you have any experience setting <br>
up a grid tie no battery system so that it can not sell to the grid <br>
under any circumstances? Just wondering before I dig any deeper if <br>
there's an obvious solution I'm missing. Thanks,<br>
