BTW, I believe someone mentioned that the not produced power when an
inverter "cuts back" must be dissipated somewhere as heat. I don't
believe that is the case; I believe the inverter can just not produce
the available power with no heat generation.
I agree. It would be a stupid design that burned it up as heat. Any sane
design would just turn off or throttle back the inverter. The energy
isn't "wasted" any more than the sunlight that falls on a sidewalk or
street is "wasted".
It does lead to an interesting question: If you have excess electric
power, what can you do with it to accomplish some useful purpose?
Provide free public EV charging? Light up a greenhouse to grow more
food? Run a freezer to store more food?
