How Does Home Solar Panel Backfeeding to Utility Grid Work? Reverse Phase Explained

Hello,
I wonder about how feeding of power to the utility grid works.
For example - when I produce power in my home using solar panels, and I'm feeding the excess power back to the grid, how does it work?
Does it mean a reverse phase?

Thanks

Hi,

That reverse phase your referring is usually called net metering. It is when there is excess energy that is feed back to our power provider.

You can read more about this here:

You can also try reading how solar panels work. There are so many references you can find in the internet.

Hope this helps,

Net metering is the answer I was looking for. Thank you.
However, I am interested in the way your residential inverter feeding the grid.
Does it mean that the current flows in a reverse direction according to the power you supply?
Thanks again,

HI!

From the statement that excess energy is fed back to the power grid, you can actually deduce that energy flows from one direction to another. Meaning that energy(which is power), consisting of voltage and current, flow in that direction.
