The three most favorite installations with GridFree self-production

1) Refrigerators, cooling boxes and freezers (especially in shops, where they are frequently opened during the day and need the full power to keep the cooling at low temperature).

2) Home size air-conditioning – the more the sun is shining the more need to co

The most simple way to protect against overflows of energy back to the grid

The ordinary extension cord with a manual switch is the simplest way to protect against the back-feeding to the grid. With the manual switch you turn on both the equipment and the micro inverters. This way you are sure both the equipm

Question:

Question: I have equipment with about 600W of consumption. My plan is to connect 3 solar panels with MicroInverter to have a GridFree installation. However if the equipment turns off for some reason, the inverters will keep working and will feed the unused energy back to the grid. How to preve

Question: If the installation is only 1 micro inverter, how can I connect it to the AC 230V grid?

Answer: For simple installation of one or two inverters (or even few inverters) you may connect these directly to the 230V AC socket. Remove the water proof outdoor connector (this connector can be easily dissembled or at worst just cut-away) and install the standard 230V plug. (See the first picture.)

Optionally you can use one connec
