Product & Installation<\/strong><\/h3>\n
According to the physical principles of electricity, your appliances will always use solar power first, as it follows the shortest path. This process is entirely legal in Belgium and fully complies with current regulations. The Belga Solar station is C10\/26 Synergrid certified, meaning it is officially authorized to be connected to a standard outlet in Belgium.
If you generate more electricity than your appliances consume, the surplus will be injected into the public grid. With a bidirectional or \u201csmart\u201d meter, you can measure the reinjected energy and, depending on your contract with your grid operator, benefit from compensation or payment for this reinjected electricity.
For more information on Belgian regulations regarding self-consumption and grid injection, please consult Synergrid\u2019s guidelines and your local grid operator.<\/p>\n
To ensure safety, we have deliberately chosen a micro-inverter limited to 800 VA, preventing any overload and ensuring compliance with current standards.<\/p>\n\n
You only need to check that your standard socket (16 Amps or more) is grounded and protected by a 300mA residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) located in the main electrical panel of your home. All compliant installations meet these safety requirements, but we still recommend verifying that your socket complies.<\/p>\n
In addition, our micro-inverter comes with a certificate of conformity that certifies its quality and safety. Your grid operator (DSO) may request this certificate when you declare your photovoltaic installation. Depending on your location, you will need to make this declaration with your local DSO (for example, Sibelga, Ores, RESA, etc.).
To help you with this process, Belga Solar provides a DSO declaration support guide, available on our website.<\/p>\n\n
