    Energy flows into the house grid. The consumers connected, for example, household devices or lighting, consume the energy. The energy left over is fed into the public grid. When the Astronergy is not gernerating any energy, e.g., at night, the consumers which are connected are supplied by the public grid.The Astronergy does not have its own energy meter.
  • Page 5 Stand-alone grid: The Astronergy is connected to a stand-alone grid. A stand-alone grid is a grid which is not connected to a public grid ,the Astronergy needs a grid-forming generator in order to function, The energy generated is consumed directly on site, surplus energy can be stored in batteries.but the energy must not fed to the grid-forming generator.

    7. MODES OF OPERATION There are 3 different modes of operation. Normal mode In this mode, Inverter works normally. Whenever the supplied power from PV panel is sufficient (voltage>150Vdc), Inverter converts power to the grid as generated by the PV panel. If the power is insufficient(voltage<120Vdc), Inverter enters a “waiting” state.
