Home Sells Solar Power to Grid - Midstream Estates, Midrand

This home in the upmarket Midstream Estate, sells all excess power back to the Utility Provider, in this case to the Midstream Estate Electricity Supplier.
It is a Grid-Tie system (No Batteries), using an ABB (Tier-One) 5kWp inverter with 10x 250W Yingli Poly-Crystalline solar panels.
The generated solar power will drive 1st: the load in the home (during sunlight hours) then 2nd: sell the excess power back into the Grid, in effect Crediting their electricity account.

SOLAR IN THE CLOUD - The ABB inverters have a WiFi monitoring capability. The VN300 WiFi Monitoring Card has been installed here, allowing the owner to access system performance details on his Smart Devices in the home and gives him advanced monitoring capability as all data is uploaded to the ABB server in Germany.
Whereby AM Solar & the home owner can access their system data and history via the Aurora Web Portal see:  http://new.abb.com/power-converters-inverters/solar/monitoring-and-communication/aurora-vision-plant-management-platform/plant-viewer

AM Solar Installs the 1st Ingeteam "All-in-One" inverter in SA

AM Solar have installed the first Ingeteam Hybrid (1Play Sun Storage) inverter in SA.

Ingteam have 200 Mega Watts of solar power systems in SA (Grid-Tie Solar Farms, N.Cape), and have just introduced the battery inverters and AM SOLAR have had the pleasure to install the 1st one in Lonehill, Jhb.

Coupled with 12x 250W Yingli solar panels and 8x 100AH 12V Fiamm AGM batteries in a 96V nominal voltage system.

A little different from our usual design approach, but it performs extremely well, and the reduction in current (@96V) with the same power output is nice to work with.

We are very happy with this inverter stack, and we look forward to installing many more for our clients!!!

We Install an AXPERT "All-in-One" Inverter - Northriding, Jhb

So we have installed a few of these inverters tooooooo!
The Axpert is a lower-cost inverter manufactured in China.

GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY... but still an entry system to solar.

This inverter has no where close to the power and capability of the SMA, SchneiderE, Ingeteam or even the Imeon inverters.

Coupled with 4xYingli 250W solar panels and the Monbatt AGM batts, the owner (Mr. Oosthuizen) is very happy with his system.

He did start with the 2.4kWp inverter, but we are about to upgrade to the 4kWp equivalent and add additional solar panels.
He wants to add additional day-time loads to his system... to ensure no excess solar power is wasted.
