Hello All,
Some advice needed on adding another PV inverter to a house that already has a PV system installed
I have an existing Solar PV system installed (6.4kW panels; 5kh inverter; 10kWh battery; 230v AC system).
Its feeding the grid and house but can be switched over to off-grid in the event of a power cut. The system is a rebranded KSAR BluE-S-5000D (https://www.kstar.com/HybridInverter/17419.jhtml) which was professionally installed.
I have put an additional 2 strings of solar panels on my roof and want to get an inverter for these that can co-exist with the existing Solar PV system.
The additional Solar panels are 2 strings: (5 x 275W) and (4 x 275W) totalling about 2.5kW.
The solar panels are Trinasolar TMS-275PE05H https://www.trinasolar.com/sites/default/files/EN_TSM_PE05H_datasheet_B_2017.pdf
Question:
I want to utilise the additional 2.5kW of solar panels.
A) if I get another pure sine wave hybrid inverter will it happily coexist with the current system.
[My own thinking is that it shold as neighbouring houses can have inverters of different types - and I'm assuming that each inverter will be self-synchronising its sine wave output the the grid]
Has anyone done this before - is a special specification of inverter needed [I cannon change the existing inverter, its not a new install where I could have gotten ones which are apecitied to be able to work in parallel]?
B) I was considering getting a Growatt 5000W Off-Grid OR a Growatt 3500W Off-Grid Solar Solar Hybrid Inverter 48V to 230V.
If you think this will do the trick - do let me know
OR if you think there is a better option of invetrter do suggest it please.
Thank you
Jer
