Zero Export & Grid-Limit Solution

Solar Storage for Homes That Must Keep Energy from Flowing Back to the Grid

Anti-Backflow · Self-Consumption · Grid Compliance

Use solar locally, store more surplus at home and dynamically limit output to suit zero-export and grid-curtailment requirements.

User pain points

Grid rules can make ordinary solar output a compliance risk.

When feed-in is prohibited or tightly limited, a household needs control that responds to real-time demand—not an output setting that stays fixed while loads change.

01

Export can be prohibited or severely limited.

Uncontrolled surplus power can create a barrier to installing or expanding home solar.

02

Household demand changes every minute.

Static output limits cannot always prevent unwanted reverse flow as appliances turn on and off.

03

Surplus solar should not simply be wasted.

Without storage coordination, users can lose the value of energy they have generated.

Zero-export control logic

Measure demand. Regulate output. Keep more solar at home.

GEECO control coordinates solar devices and storage against household load, with a fast response designed to keep unwanted energy from reaching the grid.

Our solution

Our solution

Anti-backflow controller, micro-inverter and micro-storage configuration for zero-export, grid-limited and self-consumption markets.

01

Reliable anti-backflow control meets zero-export requirements.

GEECO’s patented 100 ms reverse-flow interruption technology dynamically regulates output to avoid surplus power being sent to the grid, supporting local grid-connection requirements.

02

A patented anti-backflow controller makes the whole system plug and play.

The dedicated controller senses household electricity demand without requiring the same home-grid electrical connection changes as a meter, enabling practical whole-home plug-and-play control.

03

Reliable through-wall communication without WiFi dependency.

Long-wave communication and a proprietary carrier-modulation algorithm provide strong interference resistance and signal sensitivity for reliable communication through walls without depending on WiFi.

04

Precisely regulate grid-tied output for local feed-in limits.

As household load changes, the system adjusts the AC output of micro-inverters and micro-storage units in real time to avoid exceeding local permitted feed-in power.

05

Built-in EMS stores surplus energy and reduces waste.

When household electricity use is lower than PV generation, the system routes suitable surplus energy into the battery for night-time or high-tariff use, increasing solar utilization.

Differentiated highlights

Differentiated highlights

01

100% reverse-flow interruption achieves functional zero export.

Compared with the reverse-flow delay of conventional controllers, GEECO interrupts reverse flow within two grid cycles to prevent the meter from recording exported electricity.

02

Long-wave wireless communication can pass through three walls.

Rather than relying on a router or conventional WiFi, long-wave communication provides more reliable signal transmission.

03

The anti-backflow controller is plug and play like a home appliance.

The controller is designed for simple installation and whole-home electricity sensing without requiring complex power-meter modification.

04

Grid-limit settings adapt to different regional rules.

Feed-in limits can be configured around local policy, supporting zero export, limited-power grid connection and other market requirements.

05

Overload monitoring and safety protection protect household circuits.

The system monitors current and load changes to reduce line-overload risk and improve household PV operating safety.

Customer testimonials

Compliant solar can still be useful solar.

Somchai P., Thailand: “We can use solar without worrying about feed-in.”

“The system adjusts to what the house needs, so more energy stays with us.”

Application: micro-inverter + anti-backflow control

Lucía G., Argentina: “Daytime energy is no longer simply lost.”

“With storage, more of the solar we generate can be used later at home.”

Application: storage-enhanced self-consumption

Rafael S., Brazil: “The system fits a changing grid policy.”

“We focus much more on using our own solar rather than exporting it.”

Application: regulated home solar output

FAQ

Questions about zero-export solar.

What does zero export mean?

It means household solar prioritizes local use and the system controls surplus power to avoid feeding electricity back into the public grid.

Why is an anti-backflow controller needed?

When PV generation exceeds household use, an ordinary solar system may send surplus power back to the grid. The controller monitors load and regulates output to reduce this compliance risk.

What is different about GEECO anti-backflow control?

Fast-response reverse-flow control regulates compatible micro-inverter or micro-storage output when export risk is detected, supporting stable zero-export operation.

Does the installation require meter or distribution-box modification?

The solution is designed to minimize alteration. The exact requirement still depends on local electrical rules, existing wiring and installation method, and should be confirmed before installation.

Can zero export work without a battery?

Yes. Control plus a micro-inverter can provide basic export limitation; storage helps retain surplus solar for later use.

Can several devices be coordinated together?

Yes. The controller is designed to coordinate multiple compatible micro-inverter and storage devices against changing load.

Does this remove all installation requirements?

No. The final installation must still follow local electrical rules and the requirements of the local utility or authority.
