eg4 6000xp as a "generator"?

[taxodium]

Will mentions supplementing an 18kpv with the 6000xp by calling it a "generator" at about 6:20 in this video -

I can't find anything in the manuals about it and I'm curious about doing exactly this. Anybody know more?

@Will Prowse needs to make another video.

Just connect output of 6000xp to generator input of 18kpv. Should work, a few forum members tried it out. I need to

I've played a bit with this, but not gotten it to work. I think it's something with the settings. @Will Prowse that would be a great video!

would it make sense to do this if you upgraded your batteries and still wanted to use your old lead acid bank?

I was planning to connect my garage to the house (everything is off-grid) and dump any excess from the garage to the home. The garage runs the well pump and the cell signal booster.

I am in the process of installing an 18 kpv and 6000xp and need to figure this out also.

@Will Prowse Hey Will! I have a sol-ark 12k and would love to ac couple a 6000xp to it the same way you did in this video to the 18kpv in the generator input. I don't export to the grid though and have zero export enabled. Are these inverters able to control the ac voltage on the 6000xp to achieve zero export or will the 6000xp just run at whatever the maximum is that it has from solar at that moment?
