Adaptive solar power battery storage system

A computer-implemented method in a power inverter device, comprising:

• receiving an AC voltage from an AC solar panel micro-inverter that is coupled to an AC solar panel, the AC voltage being generated by the AC solar panel micro-inverter using a reference signal such that the generated AC voltage tracks the reference signal, the reference signal being the utility grid power when present;
• and
• generating, via a power inverter as the reference signal used by the AC solar panel micro-inverter, an emulated reference signal using DC power supplied by one of more batteries when the utility grid power is not present,
• wherein the emulated reference signal is an AC waveform having an initial predetermined frequency upon the utility grid power no longer being present, which results in the AC solar panel micro-inverter switching from using the utility grid power as the reference signal to using the emulated reference signal as the reference signal, and
• wherein the initial predetermined frequency of the emulated reference signal is independent of a frequency associated with the utility grid power prior to the utility grid power no longer being present.

A non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by one or more processors associated with a power inverter device, cause the power inverter device to:

• receive via an AC voltage from an AC solar panel micro-inverter that is coupled to an AC solar panel, the AC voltage being generated by the AC solar panel micro inverter using a reference signal such that the generated AC voltage tracks the reference signal, the reference signal being the utility grid power when the utility grid power is present;
• and
• generating, via a power inverter as the reference signal used by the AC solar panel micro-inverter, an emulated reference signal using DC power supplied by one of more batteries when the utility grid power is not present,
• wherein the emulated reference signal is an AC waveform having an initial predetermined frequency upon the utility grid power no longer being present, which results in the AC solar panel micro-inverter switching from using the utility grid power as the reference signal to using the emulated reference signal as the reference signal, and
• wherein the initial predetermined frequency of the emulated reference signal is independent of a frequency associated with the utility grid power prior to the utility grid power no longer being present.
