The 6000XP has gen boost. Your generator should work just fine.

As said above, there will be a little bit of uneven wear, but I would not worry about it. THe cycle count on these is so high it won't make a difference. furthermore as one battery gets weaker over time, the other will start taking more of the load. For the most part each inverter will...

The other thing I would do is drop the combiner box and feed the inverters directly into the main panel... But that assumes there is room in the main panel for three 40A 240V breakers. I know Will likes the combiner box arrangement, but I don't see the point.

At first glance your plan looks pretty solid. One thing you should consider is to use the battery paralleling kits to parallel sets of three batteries and then use busbars to tie the two sets together. This would be entirely within the specs of the inverters and batteries Alternatively I...

What is your definition of Grid Tied and Hybrid? (I don't like the term Grid Tied because it means different things to different people) Since you are saying both can export, I assume the grid tied is either a string inverter or a micro inverter (Micro Inverters should be called micro-string...

Cool I am down in Los Gatos.

What part of the bay area?

The 3000 does not have software to turn off the dynamic bonding.

So.... 8KW is 8000W/240V=33A. The jumper should be an 8AWG

What Wattage is the Inverter?

>He said he’s getting one amp per RSD module on the strings, I am not sure what that means. Does that mean he is getting a total of 5 amps on each string? What voltage is he getting at the PV connections to the inverter?

This is something I have wondered about for quite a while. They support Megafuses in all their gear and sell 48B versions of Megafuses, but they never really address the AIC question. Several months back I had the chance to talk to a Victron 'ambassador' about a system and he was...

Brobably nothing to worry about. The BMS will detect the overvoltage and turn off charge before the cells are damaged.

So sorry to hear!!! But thank you for sharing. The large DC current we deal with needs to be respected. I am curious, where in the circuit was the fuse, and was the arc across the fuse gap?
