    Connect Solar panels directly to pure sine inverter for mini split unit?

    Excellent I had that concern but couldn't find a simple explanation. How can I calculate the smallest battery setup to make it work? btw, I'm planning to run the equipment for weeks on the grid and constantly measure power requirements to plan the equipment accordingly. Thanks again.

    I see it has the function of combining two sources, I wonder why is not designated as a hybrid.

    Solar and grid used at the same time?

    Thanks for the help, I did a little bit of YT research, I'm under the impression that only "hybrid" inverters combine different sources of power, the rest only switch between sources.

    Solar and grid used at the same time?

    I have a basic questions, can SOLAR and GRID be used at the same time? can both be working simultaneously, say, I have just a few panels and planning to keep adding until one day it's all solar, but in the mean time, can the extra power needed be pulled from the grid? Thanks

    Was just quoted $36,496 for a 14 panel 4.83KWH System....

    Check wholesalesolar.com kits. That will give you a good idea of how much solar companies are marking up. My experience with couple of them is too much mark up. Basically 20 years ROI vs 3 to 5 years ROI on a DIY with permits.

    Where to buy used solar panela

    Solar is down and a lot. 15 years ago solar used to be feasible only if you were 10 miles or more away from a main line. It was cheaper to bring main service than solar (or some numbers like that)

    Where to buy used solar panela

    Yes, I’m impressed at all the used panels available, probably from all the overpriced systems that home owners can’t pay and have to repo.

    What company did you use for the $13.6k @ 4.5kw system? Also, mini-inverters or 1 big one?

    I got quoted 40k for a 8kw system. According to wholesale solare that system is somewhere between 8k to 11k depending on equipment brands. Solar companies are running legal scams with high pressure sales tactics. They didn’t want to give me the quote and wanted me to sign on the spot. Imagine...
