Zero Export Solution

What is Zero Export


In case of unavailability of net metering, to use solar as per load requirement, we need to
sync solar with the grid. In this solution, solar will take only reference voltage from the grid,
but does not export power to the grid. This way the user would be able to use grid-connected
solar plant without export.

Broad Schema of Solution

 In case of Zero export, bidirectional meter shall be installed at Incomer side.


Load from grid shall be ensured to run at 4% to 8% of the sanctioned load, it might change
depending upon the load variation/ fluctuation.

The controller working principle is as per below-

The working principle is as follows-

1. Read Active Power from meter

2. Is Active power > Max Set point? If yes, increase power on inverters

3. Is Active power < Min Set point? If yes, decrease power on inverters

4. Repeat from step 1

Basic Requirement:
Following information is required for configuration :

1. Inverter(s) and Energy Meter(s) make and model

2. Inverter(s) and Solar Plant rating in kW

System Architecture:

The general Block diagram of Zero export solution is given below-

This solution is working when grid is available but there is no net metering at site. The
zero export solution will help user to use solar as per demanded load. This solution will
throttle the power of solar inverters as per building load and there will be No Export to
grid.

Key Benefits

 Smart Control: The device provides real time power control and will ensure that the
inverter ramps down the solar production, in case of low/ no load.

 Flawless Protection: Our System ensures that the inverter doesn’t trip and minimum or no
reverse feed-in is sent back to the grid.

 Graphical representation: Client can log on to the PowerAMR website and see working of
power control on real time through the single line diagram and graphical illustration.

 Remote Monitoring: PowerAMR ZED simultaneously acts a Data Logger and provide real
time and historical data monitoring on our Solar Management Platform

 Deemed Generation: The system estimates the amount of energy throttled due to impact of
zero export device at every 10 minute interval.

 Integrate Weather Sensors- Connect Zero export device with weather sensors like
pyranometers, module and ambient temperature, wind sensors to get performance analysis
and PR

 Power Limiter: The system also has the provision to limit the amount of energy export, eg.
For 100 KW solar plant, if net metering is permitted for 40 KW, system can export upto 40
KW of power to the grid
