Hi! Im confused with solar systems.
I run a small isp/telecom business in a rural area in Venezuela, the business depends on multiple telecom cabinets that are all UPS protected for continuing operation while utility power isnt available.
Each cabinet have a 3KVA-rated UPS but the total consumption of the devices and equipments is 230 Watts (excluding UPS).
But power outages have become common in our country. From 2 hours a day without utility power we are now on 10 hours per day without power.
So I would like to incorporate a solar array + inverter and batteries to provide power to the UPS.
My first doubt is to add the inverter to the circuit like this:
UTILITY -> INVERTER -> UPS -> DEVICES
Or
——Auto Transfer Switch --> UPS -> DEVICES
INVERTER——^ ^—-UTILITY
Any advice would be highly appreciated
