DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM

AURORA is an inverter with the capability to supply the grid with energy obtained
from photovoltaic panels.
The photovoltaic panels convert the energy irradiated by the sun into electricity of the
direct current 'DC' type (through a photovoltaic field, also called a PV generator);
however, to use the electricity, it must be transformed into the alternating current 'AC'
type. This conversion, known as DC-AC inversion, is achieved efficiently by
AURORA without the use of rotating elements but only with static electronic devices.
When used in parallel with the network, the alternating current output from the
inverter flows directly into the domestic or industrial distribution circuit, connected in
turn to the public distribution network.
The solar energy system can thus feed all the connected user electrical loads.
If the energy supply from the photovoltaic system is lower than the user's load
requirement, the quantity of energy necessary to guarantee normal functioning of the
connected appliances is taken from the public distribution network. However, when
the opposite occurs, i.e. an excess of energy is produced, it is directly sent into the
public network, thus becoming available to other users.
In compliance with local and national regulations, the energy produced can be sold to
the distribution network or credited against future consumption, thus producing energy
savings.
