That was my whole mind set from the start of this build. But talking to electricians and getting info on all of this made me question all the wiring. I will reroute all grounds and will update inverter info. Thanks for all the help and insights, I really appreciate the support and help.

I have the update cables and software that I got last year. is that the most reascent software or is there something out that is newr?

Sorry took so long to respond, had stuff to do... So your saying if I rewire the box and put all the grounds on a separate busbar in the panel this will solve the bypass fault with N/G bond. This will give me the option of running AC input for charge and not creating 2 n/g in the system? Also if...

Hold up. I've been thinking about this.. why should it matter on the AC imput side of the inverter if I have ground and neutral connected together on the output side. There is no bipas it's just imput to charge battery.

I'm in the process to get it updated. Will that fix the issue of using AC wall plugs imput to charge and using inverter output for loads?

I see. But the inverter is not on at this stage only the imput to charge battery. I belive the PV imput works the same way, dosent it? I don't know if there is something important that I'm missing here. Can you please explain what and how the braker can be wired to ha e a correct flow without...

Here is 3 photos of the wiring I did. The system is stand alone not tied into anything. The far left 20amp is main inverter input the rest out to loads

Ok so the problem with the AC imput is that it does not like the GFI outlet. It will trip it all the time. You can charge your system with a regular AC outlet and it will take several hours to charge up 2 of those batteries no problem. Haven't tried it with a generator yet. Will see

Ok good to know I didn't think to check that. Also the system I have is with an old firmware. Is it needed to be updated or can I use it as is. I know several months back signature solar was selling kits for updating the system

Yes I figured as much. Is there a way to check current input. I had it running for several hours and looks like the SOC indicator didn't move. Should I keep it plugged in overnight?

Question.... I have a off grid system. But want to use grid charging when available.. it has a AC input and an on-board charger. How can I set it up to charge from grid? I'm having trouble figuring it out.

Thise are the USB specs

Here is the pick if you look at the USB plugs they are the only ones for power no straight connection. I want to take the power out of usb ports directly into the charge controller then send it to battery.

Hi everyone. Little background, I'm very familiar with AC power and DC power wires connections and pretty much know about electrical stuff. I've built solar power stations and yeah you get it I know stuff, maybe not as much but some. Anyway...... My current problems are as follows. Is have 2...

I'll look into moving it. It's not going to look pretty but I guess it's better to run it that way for even power draw.
