4. Grid-connected inverter control techniques Although the main function of the grid-connected inverter (GCI) in a PV system is to ensure an efficient DC-AC energy conversion, it must also allow other functions useful to limit the effects of the unpredictable and stochastic nature of the PV source.
First, the AC-side inverter overcurrent in addition to DC-side (DC-link) overvoltage. The unbalance in the flow of energy from the PV side and electric grid creates this issue . Second, the injection of reactive current, which is vital for voltage recovery and supporting the power system to tackle the fault incidents .
The inverter is manufactured with internal overvoltage protection on the AC and DC (PV) sides. If the PV system is installed on a building with an existing lightning protection system, the PV system must also be properly included in the lightning protection system.
While solar inverters could be designed to always beat the grid on voltage, this would be very naughty because it would push the local voltage higher and could cause electrical devices throughout the neighborhood to start smoking. A smoking electrical device.
However, overvoltage is the main challenge in many LV grids with PV, and is one of the main limiting factors in increasing PV penetration in LV grids. Overvoltage caused by PV systems happens when the power flow path is reversed from customers to the LV transformers.

Types of Inverters. There are several types of inverters that might be installed as part of a solar system. In a large-scale utility plant or mid-scale community solar project, every solar panel might be attached to a single central inverter.String inverters connect a set of panels—a string—to one inverter.That inverter converts the power produced by the entire string to AC.
