"Solar into Grid Tied Inverters" is going to die off?

My apologies for this duplicate thread, this thread didnt at first show up, and it made me log back in....

This is what i mean...

Grid Voltage Rise Is Getting Worse And That's A Problem For Solar Owners

Discover what voltage rise is, why it happens, why it causes problems for solar power system owners and what some networks are doing to address it.

GTI's have got serious problems up ahead !!!

If people want there own solar generation. Then pretty soon, they are going to have to "island" their household mains from the grid, and just use a standard Non grid tied inverter from the panels to supply their household...

This is obvious, do you not agree? GTI's are no good when too many people have them, because they "pump" the mains voltage up, and GTI's stop working when mains goes above 253VAC.

Indeed, and it's even more of a problem for us over here in the land of the great death orb in the sky.
I think long-term integration of domestic PV is going to require inverters that can be controlled in their back-feeding and/or intelligent transmission and transformation grids that can turn down their tappings to allow for more infeed.

Thanks, i must admit i doubt the authorites will choose to adjust the national grid to make way for solar. I think that people who have solar will just have to "island" that bit of the mains in their house, which connects to their solar system. ("island" as in disconnect that bit from the national grid). Would you agree?

I doubt they'll need to disconnect entirely, but the days of loading up your roof with panels and getting paid to feed into the grid are numbered. Eventually most homes will be limited to supplying their own needs and maybe a little to their neighbourhood, depending on the local voltage.
