I've been trying to research what I will need for my install. I think I'm okay with most of it now but really struggling to choose an inverter. My circumstances are a bit complicated Wich us really not helping matters. I'll try to explain why, what I need from my install and what I've found sofar, any ideas on inverters would be really appreciated.
Our circumstances.
Firstly I an a British person living in France so language barrier us a big issue.
We have one three phase power supply that comes into one house then splits to feed another house, both on same Electronic (Linky) mete. Both houses have very recently been rewired.
In France feed in really isn't a thing, the bureaucracy and cost is a nightmare then the tarif is virtually zero, so not interested in that.
We have a field with no shading apart from the very begining and end of the day from trees off in the distance. This will be where the panels will be installed
What I'd like to achieve.
I'd like to install a 9kW array. Only decided on this because it's as much as I think I can realistic afford and we should be able to use all the power generated by moving night time loads to day time.
As we have a reliable grid a grid tied system makes sense but, given all the talk of rolling power outages etc because of war and self immolation etc I'd like not to have to rely on it. Installing a critical loads circuit would be a nightmare over the two houses and to be honest, wouldn't really give me what I want. 90% of the time there's only my wife and I in the house so night time usage could be reduced to a couple of lights, fridge and PC.
I suppose I want grid tied AND island type install.
Question time. Really sorry
Can this be achieved?
If so what inverter could do this?
How would I handle the potential problem of feedback if the grid goes down. Are there relays or diods to prevent this or is if manual switches?
Thanks so much for any advice and so very sorry for the long post.
