Energy supply companies

Some energy supply companies (EVU) offer owners of PV systems the option of regulating their system via variable active power control, thereby increasing the feed-in to the public grid by up to 100%.

Info

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 which application rule applies to you or whether another alternative (e.g. smart meter) is more suitable for you.

If a ripple control receiver is already connected to another KOSTAL inverter in the home network, it is possible to use the control signals from this ripple control receiver. To do this, the reception of broadcast control signals must be activated in the web server under Service > General > Grid connection.
