I've been thinking about options if I decided to go with this converter for a while and I'm trying to avoid an independent disconnect...I.e. pulling my panel apart putting in switched etc...I have a ton of room in my existing main panel which is 200 am. Why couldn't I add a 2 Pole Circuit...
Just got this from GSL Ive read through this thread seems like numbers are all over the place with these things from cost to shipping... Im assuming this shipping quote doesnt include customs etc????
Air shipping cost is USD 580 for 1 pc 12Kw inverter,7-10 days in transit ,the unit
price is...
My meter and load center both have separate 200amp breakers...
Im not sure if I need the bypass my meter does have a disconnect so that is an option simply shut off the meter breaker...
I use under 6kw 85 to 90 percent of the time I do peak to 8KWish occasionally if alot of loads are 9n at...
Ha I did this for my wife when I wired the generator into the panel I literally labeled the breakers for her to throw in order and put a step by step list for her next to the panel...
Are you going to use these as pass through or to simply feed your home grid??? If you have two of them and need a battery anyway wouldn't it be easier and maybe more economical without needing a bunch of disconnects etc to simply use the battery to enable grid down back up vs using pass through...
I've had $35000 heart monitors fail on me when I needed a most in my main job when it comes to something complicated and mechanical I always want a backup... If this was true off grid I would just have 2 cheaper inverters But There are 2 things 1 it's a brand new productAnd if it breaks and...
This seems like growatts comparable unit if im reading right the battery options are quite limited with the growatt??? But look at Growatts pricing Im missing something because growatt is like 1500 bucks??? Vs gsl 3200???

The link shows the 10000 at 1428 plus 196 for the smart meter vs 2989 for GSL and 290 in shipping by boat which is the best I could get from GSL... Im looking at the specs side by side and having trouble seeing where the extra 1200 or 1300 bucks difference is... I do like the GSL but not sure...
Well I just spent over half an hour negotiating or trying to negotiate a better deal on the inverter order from GSL and they are sticking to the $3100 plus 580 for Fedex air mail. In fact if I buy 6 or more the best price you'll give me is 2900... I don't suppose there's anyone else I can buy...
Questions about the pass through options.. If I were to do that how does zero export work then would I even need the ct clamps or would the inverter recognize the flow as it's going through it...
Ok then the question I have is if the system is set up main line in from meter to inverter then from inverter to the L1 and L2 lugs in the original panel do you put the clamps in L1 and L2 in the panel or where it atraches to the inverter or doesn't it matter???
My service is 200 amps but my back up generator is 6500watts 240 volts and runs about everything I need unless my 4 freezers and electric watter heater go on at same time in an emergency outage... But because my main is 200 amp Im assuming I need 200 amp breaker...
If I didnt need the pass...
I actually have a 6.5kw generator wired into the panel and manually manage my loads as you suggested when its in use I shut off the 101 gallon hot water heater and that takes the major load off the system if I need hot water kill 2 of the freezer breakers... Im new to solar but basic...
Ok ive bee n kicking this around my panel is significantly oversized for my use so I have one mamy open spaces and two plenty of reserve power... So attaching a VERY preliminary sketch for the GSL inverter... Now Im a pretty experienced DIYer but new to solar so be gentle tlol
Why cant I...
