| Hi I'm curious about what line losses should be expected from a fronius inverter to a grid tie hook up.
I work for a wood stove/ renewable company and we recently installed a fronius grid tie inverter /
The grid tie inverter is using the standard offer grid tie program from the ontario government which pays .42c per kw for energy added to the grid. It has its own meter to monitor energy sent to the grid.
The panel system is around 9 kw a day average.
The fronius states that is has received 714 kw since it was installed (about 3 months give a week or two can't remember what week it was installed)
The utility installed a 120 multiplier meter for the solar side which is hooked up to the 600v line coming into the building.
When installing the fronius they had to use transformers to bump up to the 600v. The rest of the grid tie I was out of the building and the boxes are now safety wired and tagged.
Long story short the fronius inverter is stating 714 kw has been sent out and the grid tie meter installed by the power company is stating 4x 120 it should be 4.5 but doesn't show decimals
So theoretically 540 kw has been boughten by the power company and 714 kw created by solar therefore we have 174 kw of lost power in a couple months.
Could the transformers have that much loss, or could the wiring be incorrect....
For the conspiracy theorist they installed a downgraded meter to save the utility money ???
Thanks |
