    SRNE Split Phase Hybrid Solar lnverter ASF Series 10Kw

    Thanks. Can you adjust SRNE inverter parameter settings via the SA interface?

    SRNE Split Phase Hybrid Solar lnverter ASF Series 10Kw

    Does SNRE have a remote monitoring app or software? How does it stack up with with APP's/software available for EG4, Growatt, etc. Does is talk okay with Solar Assistant?

    The definitive guide to off grid & hybrid inverters?

    Yup, not easy to keep up with! Remember the day when there was only a couple of choices...

    The definitive guide to off grid & hybrid inverters?

    Thanks; The Growatt SPF seem to be very similar to MPP but I believe they make there own grid tie inverters.

    The definitive guide to off grid & hybrid inverters?

    Thanks for the feedback and good to hear that so far you are happy with the ASF.

    The definitive guide to off grid & hybrid inverters?

    Thanks, that a start. How about SRNE, are they Deye, Voltronics, or someone else?

    The definitive guide to off grid & hybrid inverters?

    Has anyone compiled (and willing to share) a list of all the off grid & hybrid inverters available and how the are related. For example Voltronic, MPP, Growatt, etc. are somehow related using similiar architecture as is Deye, SolArk and EG4 & Luxpower. Would like to better understand the...

    Solarman vs Shineserver comparison? Pros and Cons?

    Taking a look at SRNE inverters which apparently use the Solarman app for remote monitoring. Curious to hear pros & cons from those using the app and how it compares to Growatts Shineserver app. (which has its flaws but after using it for 3+ years must admit it gets the job done). Thanks

    Adding battery backup to existing PV system; inverter recommendation?

    Would like to add whole house battery backup to my existing system. I have 5KW on my house with an SMA grid tie inverter, and 6KW on my barn with a Growatt grid tie inverter. I plan on adding an additional 10KW of PV on my garage with hybrid inverter & battery to supply backup power during...

    Paralleled EG-4 6500EX on a 120V single phase system?

    ksmithaz1 & Tim; Thanks for the explanation. This has been an educational thread. I certainly see the perspective when the power source originates from one generator/winding. Somewhat less initiative if there are two power sources as in the case of paralleled inverters. Speaking of which can...

    Paralleled EG-4 6500EX on a 120V single phase system?

    2 oscilloscopes 2 waveforms, 180 degrees out of sync on the time scale. One phase, 2 waveforms, really?

    Paralleled EG-4 6500EX on a 120V single phase system?

    Totally agree. Here is thought experiment; take 2 oscilloscopes and connect one L1 to N and the other L2 to N. Would each display a sinusoidal wave form? (Yes) And if you were to super impose one wave from on top of the other would you see just one wave form (No) or you would observe two...

    Paralleled EG-4 6500EX on a 120V single phase system?

    Thanks, that is what I thought but not 100% sure.

    Paralleled EG-4 6500EX on a 120V single phase system?

    No doubt, its flawed on most things these days. That said this is my understanding...
