I understand that solar panels generate low DC voltage, and
public power lines require high AC voltage. I am also aware of
the device called Power Inverter which converts DC power with
low voltage to (ideally same) AC power with a higher voltage.
But I don't believe that just connecting input of the inverter
to solar panels and output of it to the AC line would work. I
think the phases of the inverter output and the public AC
voltage must match each other. I also feel that I would need a
different power-meter for my house. Because the current one is
designed for one-way transfer of electricity; it may not be
detecting the direction of power transfer. What hardware is used
for this purpose? I want implement the circuits myself if I can.
Please guide me on this. Is there any article explaining the
electronic details and background of selling home-generated DC
voltage to the electric company?
