For this to happen, the voltage from the solar inverter must be slightly higher than the grid voltage to “push” the energy from the inverter to the grid. This difference in voltage is what creates the voltage rise. The resistance in the cables between the solar inverter and the grid connection point plays a crucial role in voltage rise:
For example, if the grid voltage is 230V and the solar inverter gives 235V, then the voltage rise is 5V. This is done by subtracting the grid voltage from the output of the inverter: 235V (solar inverter) – 230V (grid) = 5V. The inverter needs this small voltage rise so that energy can flow from your home to the grid. Why is Voltage Rise Important?
In order for power to flow from your home to the grid, the voltage from the solar inverter has to produce a voltage that is a couple of volts higher than the grid voltage. Voila, Solar Voltage Rise. In the ideal situation, the voltage rise is not a problem: the inverter increases the grid voltage from 240 volts to 242 volts.
Voltage rise in a solar power system is defined as the difference between the solar inverter voltage and the grid. This increase has to always be within specified limits, as high as 2%, since high voltage would create problems in the protection scheme and may stall the system completely.
