Can it feed back into Grid
2028270
that is an inverter issue. a wind charger or solar panel just produces power, but the inverter decides what to do with it, ie charge battery, and if there is excess, and your meter allows, then you can run your meter backwards. fyi i am hearing that smart meters may not allow this the way the old meters do.

hi evan yes the windmax hy-1000-5 can feed the grid with a grid tie inverter. I use a 1000 watt, 22-60 volt, grid tie inverter by mass power.

Yes but not with what comes in the box. You would need to get a grid tie in converter.

yes. I contacted the manufacturer in City of Industry, CA and they have a great grid that fits perfectly.

Yes, but you would need to purchase a charge controller and a 12/24v battery first for a more stable flow. Then a grid-tie inverter can be used to sell back power to the grid or use it in your home.

Yes it can. You can configure however you'd like. We split the panels up all the time.

Yes all enphase inverters are UL1741 qualified they will not back feed to the grid when the grid is down.

That would not work. Solar panels produce DC electricity and to be able to "back feed" you would need to transform the DC electricity into AC. This is usually done with a DC to AC inverter. We recommend contacting your local power authority about these things because different areas have different regulations about sending power back through the grid.Also, in order to sell electricity back you would need to contact a local installer/electrician to make the connections to the utility grid and to provide you with a permit for the installations and connections.

Yes. We do this all the time in new construction homes. Most homes you will have to. We feed the sub panel from the backup side of the panel not the non protected side.

I can't tell for sure, but I don't think so. The unit is so basic and the instructions are less than minimal. It seems so fragile (what do you want for $50) that I'm afraid if I try to change the feed width, I'll break it.

The grid is like a mount a picture. It's whatever the thickness of the grid. However u need to factor in the hook u add to it and how far it came out from the wall. It's a nice product. I bought 5 of them to organized my garage

No, you need to purchase an inverter that has sensor in which to switch back to grid when your battery bank gets low, or, when you know your not getting hot water, "switch it over manually", or when your news casts no sun for next few days, "switch over to grid manually". (In either case, its a madder of prudence, and whether forecast") However, there is an inverter available for this convenience if your willing to shell out the money! "over 2kI believe that simply switching plugs out, until you get the more advanced inverter, is not that big of deel! Just be sure you separate the circuits.

Yes it can, and it does it very well. You can purchase the extra tray and it will do it automatically. You can also feed different size paper through manual feed tray. I love this little workhorse. Super fast too.

Yes you can, however if you don't have a analog meter box from the power company it will only offset your immediate use during the day when the pv array is receiving sunlight. Your power company can install a meter box that will remember how much power your back-feeding to the grid, if your meter is digital, you should contact them first in that case. Analog meters will turn backwards if backfed.

No. It would be possible but not what they were designed for. They only work on the type of system where the meter can run backwards, not systems with battery backup. If the grid power turns off, so do they.

Not to my knowledge. It's filled from the top, so much easier for me to have it hanging from my multi- hangar feeder pole.

I'm not entirely sure. Sorry. I posted this a long time ago, and I've since switched to a different brand. If you buy the Prism brand, it definitely has the grid on both sides...

You probably could. You might want to clamp a wider board in the jaws to support whatever is being out-fed. Or you could clamp a roller in the jaws and use that as your outfeed support.

In a word... Yes. But it is more complicated to have a grid tied system. You basically have to have your house wired for a generator. But 100 Watts isn't like to even put a dent in your monthly power bill. A kilowatt hour costs about 7 cents so... every ten hours you will save 7 cents on your power bill.
