Ok, so I disconnected the bonded neutral on the generator. Same results. That may have been one issue but I think there is another one. I also expanded the high and low frequency cutoff to 50-70hz.

I thought it was 55-65 hz range. Should I be expanding that?

Yes. The manual says "This generator has a neutral bonded condition. This means the system ground is connected electrically to the AC neutral wire" Does that mean this generator will not work with my inverter?

It says "Neutral bonded to frame"

I really appreciate the suggestions. I was able to adjust the generator to give me a steady 60hz. Still not qualifying. It resets my low frequency reconnect offset to 0.5hz every time I try to change it to 1hz. But if I understand correctly, that would only come to play if the generator...

Thank you all for your excellent feedback. I am truly appreciative of the time you took to write back. I really appreciate the analogy @MichaelK posed. It makes a lot of sense to me. I also hear loud and clear that the capacity of my panels is a huge opportunity. Let me ask a few different...

Being a novice and being about 90 minutes from the nearest town, I was thinking I would opt for something that is clearly compatible and communicates easily between each other. I think I need to upgrade the charge controller if I go to Lithium. Then I need to get something that converts the...

I am new to the forum and new to solar. I recently purchased an off-grid 2400 ft2 log home in SW Washington state. It has an existing system from 2009 and I am looking to update/upgrade. I have pretty good southern exposure and typically only use the home on weekends (twice per month). The...
