    Need Help with reversed engineered AC Coupling...

    My Hybrid inverter is LF. Also I'm 🤔 that a way round this is to have different solar arrays for charging and load...? Then disable/block the grid export function so the GTI can NEVER feedback to the batteries...? Also I can set up my battery bank to never charge above 90% (or 85%) in...

    Need Help with reversed engineered AC Coupling...

    You're right my friend. There's a stubborn geek in me who is insisting on giving it a try... But the seller has just agreed to give me a refund if I ship it back at my expense (about 40 pounds)... Decision time!!! 😢😩😭

    Need Help with reversed engineered AC Coupling...

    Hello everyone, really grateful for your answers. Sorry was ill for over 2 weeks and only now just on my feet. This has all been food for thought... I'll take a few days to chew and answer some of the further questions this has raised to see if this is worth trying to do... I'm just a stubborn...

    I have 86kwh of batteries now... Also I believe the excess power that needs to be consumed is what the PV generates, not just the max inverter capacity right...?

    Need Help with reversed engineered AC Coupling...

    It's a 3 phase inverter which means (theoretically) I can couple 3 different battery inverters (one per phase) right? If so, then putting my largest 3 battery inverter3s together, I can get up to 35 kw... Truth is I highly doubt I'll ever exceed 35kwh at any one-time. I got the inverter cause I...

    Need Help with reversed engineered AC Coupling...

    Sorry guys, been ill for a while. My largest battery inverter is 15kva. I also have 2 10 kva unit and a 7.5kva unit. I'm stressing I have multiple in case it's best to couple them in 3 phase mode as opposed to single phase mode

    Realised I didn't fully answer your questions. We wrired the property such that each phase handles a floor. It has 3 floors and a basement. So Phase 1 is the top floor, phase 2 the middle floor and phase 3 the ground floor and basement. So currently each of our smaller hybrid inverters is...

    Need Help with reversed engineered AC Coupling...

    Currently have 72kwh of battery but upgrading to 86 soon. I assumed (perhaps in error) that all I'd need to account for (coming into the battery inverter and batteries) would be the wattage from the panels (not the whole 60kw of the GT inverter). Am I wrong? 😓 Also my proposed plan above kinda...

    Yes we are 220-240v and 50Hz down here

    Need Help with reversed engineered AC Coupling...

    Thanks everyone for the responses so far... Im taking them all in good faith (including the advice to sell the inverter). I'm just being stubborn cause I'm naturally a problem solver and I'd like to solve this one if at all possible. If not, then I'll accept defeat and cut my losses. I was...

    Need Help with reversed engineered AC Coupling...

    Hey guys, My name is Israel and I'm a Brit who has just moved to Africa to do some Missionary & Charity work. We have a sizeable property here that we are trying to run off-grid (electricity here is very unreliable). We've been building slowly and currently have 20.7kw of solar panels (3...

    Interest in using 400V Tesla batteries for solar storage?

    Would have been amazing for me w months ago... I had to get to 72Kwh of LifePo4 Batteries the hard way... (I'm headed to 86Kwh) I'd probably have needed 4 of the inverters and the largest battery possible (82kwh?) What would the price for that have been?

    And I thought I had gotten too addicted lol...? Awesome Job buddy
