Thanks! But, that didn't work when I tried it with my twins. Oh! He doesn't have his set to run split phase. If I simply parallel my twins, they will charge on single phase input. They will not charge from utility if I set them to output split phase.

Another update: I did get the twin 3048LV-MKs paralleled. They do output 240V when configured that way, both via inverting from the battery and being fed 120V input. I don't have an easy way to test their load capacity in this configuration at the moment, but, meter checks do show 240V output...

Yup. I'm going to be limited with what I can do on the roof, since I can only fit 4 panels of the current type up there. Once I move elsewhere, I'll be able to install a ground mount system and will simply add that to the input of the second 3048LV-MK. But, yes, I'm expecting to see more total...

Yes. But it's doable You don't need to use the transformer post AIO. You just need it pre-AIO in order to get charging. No minisplit should draw anywhere near that much juice. You should be focusing only on inverter compressor minisplits that slowly ramp up the compressor. Not exactly...

Well, mine are essentially flat mounted in an RV roof... So there's that. LOL This is the first spring season with the system and is all new, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs as the seasons change. ☺️

Another update on this: With the cold, clear days with a sun higher in the sky, I've had several days of sustained, higher than sticker rating output from the panels. It's honestly been shocking to see how well just the two panels are performing when it's cool/cold and sunny. The peak, so far...

There's two things you can do: 1. You can figure out how to program the units easily so you cab run one inverter normally to limit your standby consumption, then if you need the second to come online, you set the first one to parallel mode and power on the second and you should be in business...

I'm starting to poke around my own 3048LV-MK setup and am still at the beginning of understanding how it works. Have you made any new observations since this post?

This is great to know! Thank you. =)

I'm currently running an MPP 3048LV-MK. It would be nice to have battery coms, but... I don't find it necessary, yet. The voltage input on the pv suites my needs better than the EG4, and, it's less expensive. So far, it's been working very well with only two of my four panels installed and I'm...

I really enjoy that about this forum! Thank you. ☺️

I've had a few days where input has peaked much higher. This is fascinating to me! The sun is finally high enough in the sky to clear the roof peak. When the trees start to leaf, that will kill early mooring production, but, the peak should more than make up for it. With just the two panels...

Thanks again for the additional feedback! This is all so very fascinating to me!

So fascinating! Thanks for the input! 😊

Dang. That's wild. I am still very new to all this, and the learning curve is steep and full of twists and turns that I certainly wouldn't have figured out on my own!
