THIS SYSTEM USES TWO INVERTERS AND CAN BE USED FOR 120/240V OPERATION. THE GRID CONNECTED ADVANTAGE There are basically 2 types of PV systems—stand-alone and grid-connected. Stand-alone systems operate independently of a utility grid and are normally used where no grid connection is possible, such as in remote areas or for portable highway signs, etc. Some stand-alone systems produce only DC power. Other stand-alone systems are designed to produce AC power. Grid-connected systems nearly always convert the DC power produced by the sun into AC power. The conversion from DC to AC takes place in an INVERTER. There are many types of inverters for a wide range of applications. Prior to 2002, stand-alone PV systems were the most common, but since 2002, more PV generation has been attributed to grid-connected systems than to stand-alone systems. One reason for this transition is that fully-interactive, grid-connected, systems optimize the use of PV electricity. The reason for this is that when the grid is available for a fully interactive grid-connected PV system, none of the energy generated by the PV system is wasted. Any electricity generated by the PV system that is not used on site is sold back to the utility for someone else to use. In a stand-alone system, if the electricity produced is not used on site, it is wasted. The Sun Electronics UPSUI series of Integrated PV Systems are all based upon battery backup fully utility interactive operation. They were designed especially for those in hurricane-prone zones who would prefer to have the sun provide them with electricity rather than having to refuel a constantly-running fossil fuel generator. The array mounting systems for the UPSUI systems have all been engineered to withstand 150 mph winds. Keep in mind that a fossil fuel generator CAN NEVER PAY FOR ITSELF, since it is only run when the utility is down. On the other hand, a utility interactive PV system will produce electricity every day over its lifetime, which can be expected to exceed 25 years. The PV modules in all of the UPSUI systems come with 25-year warranties. Depending upon the rebates or tax incentives available, the UPSUI systems will pay for themselves before their lifetime is over. This UPSUI system was Designed exclusively for Sun Electronics by Dr. Roger Messenger.
