With the rise of constant power supply failure in some region and high cost of electricity bill, most people are optioning for solar power system which has become alternative supply for grid
but the question remain, it is Solar Power System to Have an Automatic Changeover Between Solar and Grid?,
The answer to this question is Yes, but there are certain things you need to know before installing automatic changeover switch with solar system.
Solar System
There are many components that makeup solar system which includes
- Panel
- Inverter
- Charge controller
- Battery
However, the combination of all this components makeup a full solar system, but the area we are concerned is the inverter, because that is the point of power supply out and we’re to install the automatic changeover switch
To install the automatic changeover switch with inverter, you most have basic knowledge of inverter, as most high hybrid inverter has already inbuld automatic Changeover.
Automatic Changeover Switch
Am Automatic Changeover Switch is electrical device that switch between two power source, example grid and generator or grid and solar system.
There are components that makeup this device which includes
- Power Monitoring
- Smart Switching
- Delay Timer
- Surge Protection
The formation of all this components together makeup complete automatic changeover switch
Note: Not all changeover switch has all this function, it only smart automatic changeover switch (Smart+Autocos) that has this full function.
How To Connect Solar System With Automatic Changeover
To connect automatic changeover.with solar system, it most be installed as an external changeover, here is the step by step diagram below
Manual Changeover Switch Connection
Smart Automatic Changeover Switch Connection
Automatic Changeover Between Solar and Grid?
From the diagram above, you will notice were the solar power system and the grid is connected to the automatic changeover switch
Recommended Automatic Changeover Switch
We have recommended Smart automatic changeover switch (SmartAutocos), with this particular device not only improves convenience but also maximizes solar usage, reduces dependence on the grid, and ensures consistent power supply.
Conclusion
Yes, it is absolutely possible for a solar power system to have an automatic changeover between solar and grid. With the right smart changeover switch connection to the inverter, the transition will be smooth, fast, and reliable without interuption
