When connecting solar photovoltaic panels to the grid?
some material that says the inverter ties into the meter and power flows from there to the distribution panel: http://www.altestore.com/store/Kits-and-Package-Deals/Grid-Tied-Systems/Alt-E-Designed-Grid-Tie-Packages/AltE-Grid-Tied-Package-System-A-1kw/p6629/
While other material indicates that the inverter is before the panel and after the meter: http://homepower.com/basics/solar/#SolarElectricSystemComponents
Is one or the other "correct"? If both are used when is one preferred over the other or what are the advantages of one installation over the other? I am presently asking about the different approaches rather than a practical application.
Thanks for your answer Brian. Then how do you explain the first cite with its nice pictures showing a different configuration?
The inverter output is tied to your breaker panel. The breaker panel is fed from the meter. You always tie in at the breaker panel so you have a safe method to shut it off and so you have the breaker over-current protection.
