What it shows

  • String inverters convert 300V-600V DC to split-phase 240V AC synchronously
  • Anti-islanding disconnects PV power within 100ms to protect linemen
  • Bi-directional net meters track net energy imported versus exported

The takeaway

Grid-tied solar relies entirely on utility voltage reference and drops off instantly during outages.
