Thank you for all of your comments and suggestions, they are really appreciated. I think i will bite the bullet and put a lower wattage shower in then i can have the inverter i want. As i said, i am very new to solar and i am struggling with some of the terminology. Like on the fox inverter it...

Thank you Vigo. That actually made it a lot clearer and gave me a starting point to research passthrough in more detail. I think i have it sussed...maybe 😆

Good afternoon everyone. I am very, very new to solar! Managed to get a system up and running for 18 months but now find i need to upgrade my solis hybrid inverter. Didnt know at the time but it shuts down if the load is over 5kw. My inverter powers the whole house. I have an 8.5kw shower in a...

Hi, i can switch over to grid any time through a manual changeover. This is how we have been doing it when the shower is needed. But i want to do away with grid power completely eventually. So having something that needs grid to work puts a spanner in the works of going off grid. The obvious...

Yes, but as i said to Vigo, i am trying to go off grid. Thank you for the suggestion, though.

Good morning SeaGal, decided to just do away with the shower altogether. Or change it for a 7.5kw, which is 31A. The sunsynk is capable of 34A, so i should be able to run that if nothing else is on. (the big IF!) I dont think i explained our situation very clearly, sorry for that. Our hot water...

Sorry, i thought i would get a notification if anyone replied! It solis 6kw hybrid. We live on an island so power is a bit hit and miss in the winter, thats why we had the inverter power the whole house rather than just essential loads. Which means we have to be careful what we have running at...

Again, sorry for the late reply. Its an electric shower. Its the heaviest item we have. if i can find out that the sunsynk would handle 8.5kw, i can swap the solis for that and no need to worry about overloading it. Its really my partner. She keeps forgetting that we cant have 3 heavy items on...

Is it ok to jump into this thread @SeaGal ? This is happening to me as well but my wiring is a little different. We spoke a while back about the sunsynk inverter. Well, i have decided to go with a fox ess 10.5kw hybrid and a bank of fox cubes. I have a solis inverter, 6kw. Whenever it starts up...

Yes, exactly as we do now. Or rather, most of the time! I have to admit that i nearly tripped it this afternoon so its not always my partner! We have the EH1P and i am obsessed with looking at the screen every time i pass it, just to see how much is generating! haha! We really should get the fox...
