My brother has a 10 kVA PV installation on his shop.
He bought the neighbouring house which is not suited for PV panels. The intention is to share part of his energy production between the two buildings.
The idea is to install a normal grid-tied inverter in the new house and connect it as a load to the three-phase installation on the shop via a bridge-rectifier. The resulting DC voltage is around 540 VDC which falls within the limits of the inverter MPPT.
The house inverter I have in mind can be equipped with a control feature that avoids injection in the grid. This way only the needed energy is taken from the shop.
Is this a good set-up?
One of my questions is if some form of current limiting needs to be foreseen. The three-phase installation can provide much higher current than the upper limit of the small inverter. If so, how can I do that? A simple MOSFET current source circuit or something else.
