Hi I'm sure I'm just another newb repeating the same path others have countless times before me but it would be really appreciated if I got need help as if I'm the first So I'm trying to get panels from FBM.
My poco is BGE and the process and money required for a true interconnection is ROI preventative. I would never make it back capped at 10kwh of panels. contractor required etc etc. FIL is an electrician on industrial stuff and he can't assist with that part. That leaves guerrilla or off grid solar.
One requirement. I can't backfeed into ge 210+c smart meter. Not currently interested in batteries to building out to it
My Options are as follow (questions in sections)
1.) guerilla using sun GTIL 1000w. Start with two for L1 and L2. Would use the 240v version but it seems to be prone to backfeeding due to single CT limited sensor. I can't see how it can possibly detect when only one leg is using the wattage. It seems that man users when with CT mods struggle with it where as the 1000w (one on each pole) don't have this issue. Open to ideas because
2.) hybrid inverter feeding separate panel. grid AC feeds inverter for backup. I see a few of these. What's good bang for buck. Eg4 6000xp seems good but a little more expensive but they have a great system with the 5kwh bats. Do any of them have a chance to back feed into the grid AC?
2.b) same separate panel but off grid inverter withAC power as backup entering via powered by DC power supplies. This would probably need capacitor bank or something. AC from the off grid can't possibly.
2.c) can this be done with something like a 240vac fed 48v 100ah battery charger on the battery terminals? Diodes to stop the inverter from charging the charger or something. Obviously settings first diodes back up.
Basically these are ordered in most likely to back feed to least but more insane. Im just not sure what to do. I'm paranoid about bge fining me. But my monthly bill is $400 a month. This is the cheapest way to reduce it vs new windows or new HVAC system
