During the night, secure power supply operation cannot be activated since the PV system does not produce power that is required to supply the load. In case of a grid failure during the night, do not activate secure power supply operation. Continue to operate the inverter on the utility grid and wait for restoration of grid operation.
To be eligible for the FIT, both your installer and your solar PV system must be certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. Is a connection to the grid guaranteed?
