Technical FAQs 4

How do photovoltaic anti-backflow systems work?

According to different system voltage levels, photovoltaic anti-backflow systems can be divided into single-phase anti-backflow systems, three-phase and energy storage system ones. In a power system, power is generally sent from the grid to the load, which is called forward current.

What are solar inverters and why do they fail?

Solar Inverters are electronic devices that convert the variable DC output of a photovoltaic (PV) system into a utility-frequency AC output. They have historically been the leading cause of PV system failures. The useful life of a central inverter typically does not exceed ten years, and the cost to maintain and eventually replace a central inverter once or even twice during a PV system’s lifetime drives up system costs with every truck roll.

How does a Deye inverter anti-backflow work?

4. The solution? Deye inverter anti-backflow working principle: install an meter with CT or current sensor at the grid-connected point. When it detects that there is current flowing to the grid, it will feed back to the inverter, and the inverter will immediately change its working mode and track from the maximum power point of MPPT.

How does anti-backflow work?

If the generation exceeds the consumption, the surplus electricity flows back into the grid, creating backflow. Systems with anti-backflow functionality can adjust the inverter's output to ensure that the electricity generated is fully consumed by local loads, preventing excess power from entering the grid. Why Install Anti-Backflow?
