    True, thanks

    Did you ever do this? How would you feed the inverter into TWO A510Cs? Do you run TWO pairs of 6 gauge wires from the inverter, one pair into each A510C ? Or do you just run a single pair of 6 gauge wires into one of the A510Cs and then connect that A510C to the second A510C with another pair...

    No small loads panel needed. Each A510C has a 50 Amp breaker for the incoming electricity from a generator, but in this case we're dumping the output of the inverter instead of a generator. (With a Sol-Ark, you could still add the generator by hooking it to the Sol-Ark generator input.) The...

    I'm in Florida, but my son is in NC near Research Triangle Park. My son's wife is a strict "rule follower" so, IF there's a rule it, WILL be followed! I just don't see them needlessly paying monthly fees if it can be avoided. It's like having to pay an HOA...I'm not doing it. The best case...

    No disrespect meant, I didn't want to assume you knew what a A510C was. According to Reliance Controls support, no load panel needed, you just need to "bridge the two transfer switches’ incoming power." They said "your electrician will know how to do that." I just wanted to understand how that...

    I actually asked about using a small loads panel and they insisted the A510Cs could be bridged directly. What is the safety issue if you could educate me? I guess I'll need to push their support to tell me why they think a direct bridge is safe. Obviously I want to do it the safe/right way.

    Thanks, exactly as you described it. But why is it safer than 2 pairs of 6 gauge wires coming from the inverter, one pair to each TS? Without the small loads panel, each pair of 6 gauge wires would go into a different TS's 50 Amp breaker...how is that much different?

    So you're just a little west of Charlotte...are you using the same Duke Energy that services the Research Triangle area? My son wants to install a Sol-Ark 15K with LiFePo4 batteries and NO EXPORT but only wants to use Duke Energy's power on cloudy/rainy days if he doesn't produce enough from...

    Tom, What did you finally end up doing?! Dave
