Abstract: The invention relates to a process of connecting an AC output of a transformerless inverter of a solar power plant to an internal AC power grid at an input side of a galvanic isolation, while an offset voltage for shifting a potential center point of a photovoltaic generator connected to the inverter is applied. The process includes: (i) synchronizing the inverter with the power grid; (ii) essentially matching a potential center point of the current-carrying lines of the AC output and a potential center point of the power grid, while only one of the potential center points of the current-carrying lines and the power grid is yet shifted by the offset voltage; and (iii) galvanically connecting all current-carrying lines of the AC output with the power grid only after the steps of synchronizing and essentially matching.

Abstract: A circuitry arrangement for a solar power plant includes a transformerless inverter for feeding electric power from at least one photovoltaic generator into an alternating power grid, a galvanic separation of all lines carrying current between the inverter and the power grid, and a DC voltage source in an offset path between one electric line at the input side of the galvanic separation and a reference potential. The DC voltage source provides an offset voltage. The offset path includes a DC branch and an AC branch connected in parallel. The direct voltage source is connected in series with a current sensor in the DC branch, and at least one capacitor is arranged in the AC branch. Further, a DC contactor triggered by the current sensor is arranged in the offset path.
