Err the bit I posted where you asked how a solar inverter's output voltage and current can be out of phase. That bit.
3DFS claim that power quality is very bad
at generation many times, I haven't found a solar inverter one yet but this one hints at inverters being less than 60% efficient unless
fixed.

"On the supply side, take a typical coal plant, which if outfitted with SDE will output almost double the energy while burning the same amount of coal. Same with natural gas, nuclear etc. because they are all steam.""For renewables and energy storage, inverters replaced by SDE enabled inverters will result in anywhere from 20-40% more output." https://twitter.com/doerfler/status/1138117446555095041"It is established science that the power factor, harmonics and phase balancing are the worst at generation."https://hardware.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12204964&cid=56776034I do realise that the VectorQ is complete bullshit
I think it really is useful for a high power 3ph user with constantly changing balance and PF loads, but not much else.
I try to avoid claims more than about 3 months old because even 3DFS are allowed to change their mind, but I've just had a look at one of their white papers to see how they explain away it causing Asynchronous Motors to Operate Synchronously, - another one of my favorites!
This white paper reviews how Software-Defined Electricity delivers digitally perfect power to every load in a power network at all times, preventing any fluctuation including transients from affecting load performanceIt's a shunt voltage regulator on a 3ph supply with complete surge protection.
