 Power control signifies dynamically changing an Inverter's output power based on an algorithm.  Wattmon supports dynamic power control using an add-on software package and can be used in conjunction with a power meter for various purposes:   Power control signifies dynamically changing an Inverter's output power based on an algorithm.  Wattmon supports dynamic power control using an add-on software package and can be used in conjunction with a power meter for various purposes:

 Diesel generators bridge the gap during power cuts and in some locations they are used 24/7.  When coupled with solar grid tie inverters, a saving of fuel can be achieved.  However, it is important to balance the amount of solar power generated so as not to trip the genset, which effectively means you need to maintain a certain minimum load on the generator at all times. Diesel generators bridge the gap during power cuts and in some locations they are used 24/7.  When coupled with solar grid tie inverters, a saving of fuel can be achieved.  However, it is important to balance the amount of solar power generated so as not to trip the genset, which effectively means you need to maintain a certain minimum load on the generator at all times.

 Both these systems can be installed at the same site by using two power meters and some software customization which will allow the set points to vary based on whether grid energy is available or whether the system is running on the generator. Both these systems can be installed at the same site by using two power meters and some software customization which will allow the set points to vary based on whether grid energy is available or whether the system is running on the generator.
