<p>A method and apparatus for supplementing electrical power production during peak demand power consumption is presented. A solar power (40) conditioner converts (50) DC electrical power provided solar panels to AC (60) power and use of this to supplement main AC electrical power (10) generated by a power utility when needed. Both the DC power and the main AC power are digitalized by analog to digital (A/D) converters (30 and 60) and continuously monitored by a central processor (CPU). The CPU aims to match the generated AC power of the inverter to that of the main AC power (70) and tripping a breaker (90), supplements the main AC power with that of the converted power provided by the solar panels. In such a supplementary role, the solar power conditioner can be inserted into a utility's distributed power grid.</p> |
