I cannot seem to be able to find a straight answer, so I'll bite the bullet and ask what is probably obvious: What are the benefits of paralleling inverters? Specifically, how does it affect amps available?
I know that parallel inverters allows greater PV array size, and I know how parallel vs series works with PV and batteries. But if I have 2 inverters that can handle 50 amps, can they now handle 100 combined in parallel?
Reason: At some point, I'll need to replace my house AC unit (and buy a soft start), at which point I was planning to add off-grid solar. This would allow me to separate out my biggest energy expense. But even with a soft start, AC units have a high surge and that could change how I would have to plan the set-up if I want to expand the system so that I can slowly migrate other circuits over to solar.
