Thank you so much again, I think that does it for me on my quest. Hope you have a wonderful life as you have made my research paper a little better than I could have done on my own.

I would assume for this problems sake that each residence has their on step down transformer from the grids point of view and these would then at least the pv inverter side would be considered a step-up transformer in this case. Would I be able to state in my paper that this amount of usable...

OK, the inverter for a 10 Kw pv system is rated at 10 Kw max output. There is no load being used at this residence by this grid tied system, it is noon and the inverter is putting out max power, the nearest neighbor is 100 yards away is there any way of calculating how much of this current they...

Sorry, will not happen again.

OK, I have done my due diligence on PV inverters and have come to the conclusion that inverters made after 2001 seem to have everything that makes the grid happy so they can be tied to the grid, if it is a 10kw inverter and it is producing max output, and your nearest neighbor is 100 yards away...

At this point I could really use a copy of IEEE1547-2003 and any changes to it that may have occured, at least a copy of IEEE 1547-2003 would be great if anyone has one, my school e-mail is << personal e-mail address deleted by berkeman >> . Thanks to everyone this site has been extremely helpful.

Thank you my name is David Morrow my email is << personal e-mail address deleted by berkeman >> I do so much appreciate this. It is for my Capstone project.

Thanks for your valuable time.

no one states implicitly that these systems (small PV) are tied to the grid except anyone selling these systems. As far as DOE they skirt the issue very well after 200 hours of research and what was a very limited knowledge of electricity, it comes down to IEEE 1547-2003 of which my PhD...

I agree with your assessment but am doing a research paper and need definitive proof.

The IEEE wants $80.00 for a copy of IEEE 1547-2003 which it appears is the bible for hooking up small and large pv systems to the grid.

All the dot coms in pv say that these systems are grid tied.

[b]1. I have not seen IEEE 1547-2003 as this question pertains to it. They say that small PV systems are tied into the grid, if the wave sign of a PV inverter is a square wave how does that marry to the wave of electricity flowing on the existing grid? Does this current just get gobbled up so to...

Thanks for your time>

"sorry if this is a stupid question, I am writing a research paper and my knowledge of electricity is very limited, I have searched high and low for real answers even from doe and have been redirected everywhere. I understand that these inverters shut off if there is no incoming power"
