Several energy supply companies offer the owners of PV systems the possibility of regulating their system with variable active power control and thus increasing the feed-in into the public grid to up to 100 %.

In some applications, a compatible energy meter may be seen as an attractively priced alternative to the ripple control receiver. Here the feed-in may well be limited by the energy supply company, but the inverter controls the flow of energy (self-consumption in house grid and feed-in to the public grid) in such a way that the self-produced energy is not lost or loss is kept to an absolute minimum.
Dynamic active power control can be activated in the inverter to this end. Active power control
Ask your energy supply company or installer what application rule applies to you or whether there is an alternative (e.g. smart meter) better suited to you.
If a ripple control receiver is already connected to another KOSTAL inverter in your house network, you can use the control signals of this ripple control receiver. In order to do this, receipt of broadcast control signals must be activated in the Webserver by going to Service menu > Energy management.Webserver menu – Service menu – General
