Systems and methods for shunt power factor correction

A power inverter system, comprising:

• a plurality of controllers, each capable of generating signals based on an analysis of current measured electrically proximate to a respective plurality of meters, each being on an electric distribution grid to which it is individually operatively connected by a grid power line, and each being individually coupled via a load power line to a load corresponded to each of the plurality of meters;
• a power inverter corresponded to each of the plurality of controllers, comprising:
• a power input for receiving DC power;
• a signal input for receiving signals from the controller;
• a power output for providing AC power to at least one of the load and the electric distribution grid;
• a voltage converter for converting a voltage level of the DC power to an effective voltage level of the AC power;
• a current converter for converting a current of the DC power to an effective current of the AC power;
• and
• a plurality of components electrically responsive to the signals received from the controller,
• wherein the power inverter corresponded to each of the plurality of controllers is controlled by a wireles sly-communicative combination of the plurality of controllers to regionally balance at least a power factor across the plurality of meters by balancing individual ones of the power inverters within a particular region, as indicated by individual ones of the plurality of meters, against each other.
