Abstract
A preferred embodiment of the electrical power system of the present invention includes a power conditioning unit which is configured to receive the DC electrical output signal to deliver an AC output signal to a grid-connected load. Preferably, the power conditioning unit includes a controller which is configured to monitor the AC output signal so that the power conditioning unit may cease delivering the AC output signal when a characteristic of the AC output signal satisfies an established criterion.
