What is the benefit of a Solar Diesel Controller in a Solar hybrid

Solar Diesel Hybrid systems cannot work correctly without a controller. It is necessary to use a Solar Diesel (SD) controller, especially during a blackout. It allows the parallel operation of solar panels and a backup diesel generator. In the case of microgrids, it is also imperative that only one energy source be grid forming.

Solar Integration: Distributed Energy Resources and Microgrids

Household solar installations are called behind-the-meter solar; the meter measures how much electricity a consumer buys from a utility. Since distributed solar is "behind" the meter, customers do not pay the utility for the solar power generated. The cost of owning DER varies from state to state and among utility companies.
