Hello gang. I'm looking at buying a kit from GoGreenSolar, primarily because they offer permitting, blueprint design, code compliance, etc (ie: they do all the paperwork for the local city). Most of their kits are string-inverter based, or micro-inverter based.
My question is actually about basic electricity. Using either the string inverter, or micro-inverters, the wiring is the same in that both would backfeed into my main breaker box. What I don't understand is how do my lights/AC/fridge/etc pick the power coming from the inverter(s) over the power coming from the grid? If grid and inverters both dump to the main bus bars in the panel, how does "priority" work for all the breakers for the house?
