    Bad storm came thru and powers out for 1/2 the county

    I always say, I hate tornado's and fires, two things you don't get much warning for. And one hell of a mess after both of them.

    QO vs Homeline

    QO is top of the line, most everything else if a bargain, meaning cheaper.

    SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    I would say that would work. Personally I would size the inverter breakers at 50 amps each, but that is just me.

    SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    63 amps is just the breaker size they recommend. The output is 10000 watts, that is 5000 watts per hot leg, l1 5000, l2 5000, that equals 10000, or approx 42 amps at 240 volts. So they are taking 42 amps times 150% that equals 63 amps.

    SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    I believe you are correct, they can be programmed and wired both ways. Both diagrams are in the instructions.

    SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    We are discussing how to tie these in to a panel. I would skip the polaris and lug splitter stuff and just back feed a panel with breakers from each inverter (with proper breaker holders of course). This gives you more options for protection, and more places to disconnect and service stuff. Just...

    SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    Why wouldn't you guys backfeed breakers in a panel? That gives you output protection on the inverter.

    SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    Aa far as the hots (l1, l2) yes correct. Not sure on your neutral bond point in 100 amp panel. That depends on if bond is already made in inverters. Your drawing is probably correct though.

    SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    Nope it is different, look at l1 and l2 outputs

    SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

    Or could you put both units in split phase output, and then feed a 200 amp panel with a 60 amp 2 pole breaker from each inverter?

    Better yet is a thermal imaging camera, such as a flir, or many other brands out there.

    Sungold SPH5048P 5K inverter

    Now we are trying this when it comes in. The usb we tried was a random one he had laying around and that may be why the usb to usb did not work

    Sungold SPH5048P 5K inverter

    That is what I tried to do as we had cables laying around from the eg4 inverters he use to have,

    Sungold SPH5048P 5K inverter

    Did you try rs485 to usb? SA said I should try that first, they sounded pretty sure it would work.

    Sungold SPH5048P 5K inverter

    I had rj45 to rs232 cables, and then plugged rs232 to usb cables into to do rs485 to usb, lol. It did not work, and usb would not work either. I have rs485 to usb cables on the way. SA said it should work as they thought is was a srne made inverter, but did not know for sure.
