Hi All, I have a 6kW system with IQ8+ inverters. So far the system is saving us money during the off peak hours. However, my energy company adds an on demand charge if your consumption goes over a threshold during the on the peak hours...
I was thinking about adding some extra grid tie inverters connected to Lipo4 batteries (120v soyo ones from Amazon) to offset my energy usage and that way avoid the on demand charges if possible. I've seen some videos and I know they can put from 650w to 750w. The caveat is that my solar array is using IQ8s so I don't know if having a 240v grid tie micro inverters will complicate this setup. Also, would it be possible to run those 120v soyo inverter while my panels are producing? Or should I wait until is dark and no enphase sync is happening with the grid?
Thanks!
