My question is regarding the power flow/distribution in the main panel when solar system is integrated. My specific case is a hybrid system, but the question also applies to the tie-ins:
When the PV electricity after inverter, break switches, etc., ultimately enters the main panel, it does so through a regular breaker of XX Amps and 1 or 2 poles (call it “solar breaker”). That creates a situation where the input transmission can take place from the grid via the main switch or the solar breaker or both.
My question is, what controls where the load circuits in the main panel get their feed: the grid vs solar. It seems that both supplying current would create a real problem in the panel.
So, is it some sort of a hook up to the smart/2 way meter or is there circuit device I am missing and ought to be aware of?
