Many thanks folks! :) ?

Many thanks Jay! Much appreciated :)

Hi there, wondering if anyone knows how much power the Deye 8kw uses when it's idle - I asked a reseller and they said 'quite a lot' - not really helpful when designing my new system. Also any thoughts on using one of these to charge my EV at 7.4kw when there is enough sun? Many thanks! :)(y)

Hmmm that's what I thought re putting the batteries in series . . . ? One last thing that I have thought of - if I am switching the growatts on and off with a changeover type switch, which I would want to also be disconnecting the Orion to avoid unnecessary self consumption overnight, will...

Thank you again Tim! I was considering connecting the negative to ground, but was very wary of doing so... Finally I have been able to get through to 'Master Power' the branded name of the Axpert inverter I have - unfortunately I can't parallel my inverter :confused: So the way I see it is...

Many thanks - I'll check them out as best I can - they are both 'aliexpress' chinese ones ?

So here's the thing. . . . Currently I have a 24v system, I'm in the process of making it a lot bigger to be able to charge my electric car. I don't need more battery capacity for my house - but it looks as if I will have to change to a 48v inverter. . . I have 2 battery banks of similar...

Some of the Axperts can be connected in parallel - I am have emailed support to see if mine is, as it's not clear from what I have read on various pages . . .

I understand that, but when configured for zero feed-in then the output from the grid tie must be variable, no? In the end I think I'm going to go for a second Axpert the same as I have, then at least I will have 6kW to play with until I am ready to upgrade to a 48v system - the only problem I...

Hmmm damn - I thought I was getting close to a solution ?? Is it not possible to use a (or 2 in parallel as my system is single phase) grid tie inverters set up as zero feed? My only concern is that although the energy meter is there to stop feed-in I have seen them feed a small amount to the...

I have started reading it, thank you - I have seen this 'Parallel operation up to 6 unit (only with battery connected)' do you know if that applies to having 2 connected - I guess it would . . . ?

I started out with a 100w water turbine directly wired to lights and an amplifier which when the music was turned up the lights would dim to the beat ? that was in about 2004/5

Then if the Growatts were set to be disconnected when the sun goes down it would need to be a 'divert' from the output of the Axpert then go 'directly' to the house - right?

Hahaha - hmmm I don't like the idea of magic smoke ? can you point me in the direction of where I can learn how to integrate the Growatts with the Axpert? Thank you again! ??

Can I just connect the outputs of the 2 Growatts (I understand they need to be configured to work in parallel) to the output of my Axpert?
