Hello all,
I am considering purchasing a 6000xp primarily because it has a grid pass through option (off-grid = no bi-directional tie, so no permit required in my area). The 25 amps a single unit can provide is great, but simply would not fully suit my needs on its own as of right now (appliance efficiency upgrades planned, but will likely be 2-3 years before they're all installed). So a few questions regarding the unit's output capabilities:
1: The spec sheet states a 37.5 amp max AC input yet this is lower than the 50 amp AC byass figure. What is the cause of the discrepancy? Is there another AC input besides Grid or Generator?
2: Assuming full utilization of 6kw from DC sources, would the grid bypass assist with inverter output? So, 25 amps from the inverter + 50 amps from the grid (75 amps continuous total)?
3: If the batteries reach 100% SOC prior to the sunset and I design an 8-9kw PV system, how would the system handle excess load if my house is only drawing 2-2.5kw (This could happen if the AC is the only load at some time after I upgrade the unit)? I know a 9kw PV system wouldn't produce anywhere near 9kw an hour or 2 prior to sunset, but attempting to generate 4-5kw does seem possible. How much can the unit "clip"? Would the heat dissipate at the panels, at the inverter, or both? Am I fundamentally mistaken about clipping simply being a heat generation process?
