How does an anti-backflow inverter work?

If any energy feeding into the grid is detected, the anti-backflow device immediately provides feedback to the inverter. The inverter then quickly reduces its output power, achieving a state of zero feeding to the grid. This function is critical for maintaining the safety and compliance of PV systems in regions with strict regulations.

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?

What is a reverse current & backflow function?

When a PV system generates more electricity than the local load consumes, the excess power flows onto the grid. This reverse flow of energy, originating from PV modules → inverter → load → grid, is referred to as reverse current or backflow. The anti-backflow function is specifically designed to prevent this reverse energy flow.

Does a photovoltaic system have anti-backflow?

The photovoltaic system with CT (Current Transformer) has anti-backflow function, which means that the electricity generated by photovoltaics is only supplied to loads, preventing excess electricity from being sent to the grid. 2. Why do you need anti-backflow? There are several reasons for installing an anti-backflow prevention solution:

How does a grid-connected inverter work?

Install a CT (Current Transformer) or meter on the grid-connected busbar to monitor real-time current direction and magnitude, which is then communicated to the inverter. Upon detecting current flow towards the grid, the inverter will reduce its output power until the countercurrent is eliminated, thereby achieving anti-backflow.

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.
