Question: What will happen if I send some energy from my GridFree installation back to the grid?
Answer: Most likely nothing will happen. From technical point of view: your few watts are nothing in comparison with the mega and giga-watts that are handled by the utility companies. It is like th
Question: I have installed 5 solar panels with MicroInverters. They produce about 1000W during the daily sunshine hours. My computer servers take about 1050 Watts. I was hoping to reduce my electricity consumption to some 50 Watts. But after some tests I found out that my utility meter is bil
FAQ: Is it possible to have my electric energy meter go in the opposite way to decrease the amount of energy on the display?
Answer: No, it is not possible. Such attempts are even illegal. The consumption of the electric energy and even the production of the electric energy are always co
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

Simple hint for the installation of the Micro-Inverter
You can mount the solar panel right on the outside of your window. This will firstly protect from the direct sunshine in hot summer days (thus reducing the heat coming into your room). The solar panel and the Grid-free micro-inverter
