Hi there.
My name is Will and I'm questioning myself now.
I am building a cabin for our daughter and will be hooking it up to solar array.
Now, I've bought a 3000W pure sine inverter, several lion batteries and an MPPT charger.
So far, so good. (I think) but now I'm starting to doubt my doing.
The reason is as follows:
She has a 3500 watt inverter generator that she is using right now, untill we have the solar stuff setup proper.
But I realized, I should have bought a different setup, meaning, a MPPT charger controler which I could hook up my generator to, so to charge the batteries when there is no sunshine at all. Because with the inverter and charge controller I have now, I can not do that. So, should I return these items and get one complete charge controller/inverter where I could hookup my generator to or should I just see if I can get an ATS and hookup my generator to that, hook it up to the inverter somehow and be happy that way?
Please advice.
Cheers, Will.
