No, I was not saying mpp or eg4 which is why I specifically stated a 240V native unit like the popular growatt. And, yes mpp does have single phase 240V European units. With a isolation transformer and the transformer is lost / neutral lost there's no circuit to complete...where is the 240...

Do you watch warroom with Steve Bannon? We're familiar with a lot the same info.

There's another user that uses this 50 Kva transformer for isolation and he's getting good results with his growatt setup. He's a electrician and lineman by trade. https://www.gordonelectricsupply.com/p/Hammond-Sg3N0050Le-D16-Sntl-G3-1Ph-50Kva-240X480-120-240V-Al-60Hz-150C-3R/6063048 I found...

Sure, you and Murph are the type of libtards that site in a tight closet huffing your own farts and crying about global warming.

What do you mean, I plan on a solar shed? As long as the shed is built well, doesn't leak it should be fine.

I think we agree to disagree on some of this. I believe the EV market is what's pushing vendors forward; in fact there was industry article I read not long ago that said HV was the future for the caveats I've already mentioned and some of the big key players were Schneider and Siemens. I think...

Right, kind of hard to replace 60lbs or so of a copper / ferrite toroid like the xwpro has. Side note..wonder which one is quiter for Ham radio HF bands?

"The external contactor allows current to flow around the inverter so the internal transfer relays can't be overloaded." Gotcha... And, you're right about the heat from resistance. I think there's other ways to clamp down. Midnight was talking about it in there rosie inverter but to what point...

How much did that set you back; did you install it yourself? I was wanting a system that allowed adjustments in the summer vs winter. I wonder how much of a big deal that is..some people swear by it? I think I've seen what you're talking about..it almost looks like the kind of jack they use on...

Current thought by some running HV is that sodium ion batteries will resolve some of these concerns. Thoughts?

That's what I arrived at from my own earlier research but you said everything had a transformer which made me rethink if I misunderstood HF inverters and how a HF inverter like the solark could have split current without a transformer.

I've been seeing this on youtube with david poz and others and am wondering why this is so alluring? Why buy a bunch of 240V only inverters then have to wire in a transformer to provide the neutral when you can buy inverters already putting out split phase power and just parallel them and...

Thanks for the input. What's interesting is I posted these questions on the outback forum and I've had a few people there tell me they've never seen this as a issue on the radian inverters and some have three or more radians setup and have never had issues. The specs on the relays in the 8048a...

I just read about this also regarding double pole breakers with a polarity like the one he's holding Probably doesn't matter single or double pole. If you use them in between the battery and inverter and the inverter is a charger and is in the process of charging and the breaker pops it does...

It wasn't a shot towards you personally...you seem to be on point and honest from what I've seen. I'd bet that nobody at SS knew those details is what I'm saying. Lets be honest here.. a lot of companies are getting china to slap their name on a product and ship it over and it goes right to the...

I think the 6848 surges for about a minute. Does the 10sec surge time concern you with the radian? I need to start a well pump and ac etc?

It seems odd that you and the other fellow have such a charged response when people are reporting the same thing over and over again regarding the same company. Like almost ..does this person have a financial investment. There's people here, like myself, that was going to drop a serious chunk of...

Would you clarify a few things on the isolation transformer, the only time I've seen these being used or transformers in general with these installs was to supply a natural but you shouldn't need this. If it's literally to stop flicker seems like you're using it to pull a load like people use a...

Well, they manufacture and market EG4 inverters; should they not know their own product? Second, who cares what product it is ..should you have to wait 5 months to get a callback? Lets be real here sir!

"The only downfall would be that you can only get 230V out of a EU version" You do realize people bought watts247 "EU" inverters and added a auto transformer just like you're suggesting to do with SS versions? Maybe I'm misreading your comment above. As for the bonding screw.. from what I've...

I don't plan on selling anything back, I don't plan on the local or federal gov having anything to do with my solar install at all. The PV inverter was going to inject AC right on the output bus to the panel along with the xw or into it's own sub panel. Are you saying there's zero way to not...

I wonder if this is my best approach. I just moved into a new house, it already has a whole house generator and transfer switch installed. In the pics below you can see the generator on the left and then the meter; some sort of breaker in the middle and then the transfer switch which apparently...

Didn't read all the past threads but did you mention the inverter make and model number?

Why not get one of these? https://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/sockets-ratchets/torque-wrenches/12-in-drive-digital-torque-adapter-63917.html

I remember this being part of their new system. Maybe a faster semiconductor is key? https://eepower.com/new-industry-products/rohm-technology-and-midnite-solar-partner-to-create-a-new-line-of-solar-inverters-and-chargers/#

So socialism? With that in mind what happens with the border wide open and millions and millions of illegals pouring across; is America and the west suppose to be the Global welfare machine? You should see what this has done to Texas and our property taxes!

Tell us more!

The upgrade isn't the issue nor is the product malfunctions in your control; however that could be avoided with holding manufactures to quality and qa standards. And, he's not just upgrading to be upgrading he put a lot of work and money into it. Just because growwatt, mpp, eg4 are cheap "value...

Sure..once the wired $3500 from you clears my bank. ;) What they should do is lease a few to this crowd that have high end inverters like the xwpro or GS8048 and compre them. If rosie can hang with those two inverters that's awesome as it weighs almost 80lbs less than the xw for example. I'd...

Something is going on with them, they can't get any stock for a long time now.

Never heard of this brand until JR mentioned it above. They have both LV and HV inverters. Here's the HV version at 12k, now all we need is battery manufactures catching on. @jrcromer does solark ever plan on building higher voltage (DC) inverters so we can improve battery efficiency and use...

Speed Queens are awesome, do they still make the no boards ones with a agitator?

Still new to this but didn't realize 240 units where that much cheaper if that's what your alluding to. I need to compare 240V inverters + a $3k isolation transformer to the cost of a few mpp or growatts with split phase natively. I thought it was a more robust system. I noticed, since you...

Ask China if walls work, Ask Poland, Ask Hungary, Ask Israel. They work to slow people down and they work outright with lethal consequences for breaching them.

Thanks 400, I believe I was reading another thread you're on. You have a 6848 system right? Didn't you have a issue with pulling power or charging from the grid if needed? So, you're saying DC coupling is taking pv input and pushing it to the battery? But are you not AC coupled to since you're...

Is that really all you took away from what I said?

Thanks for all the info you provided, it's much appreciated sir.

How is that supposed to work when they are on two separate circuits? Legit question..maybe something I'm missing about the inverters but I thought it was like the panel in our home where it was our responsibility to balance the legs.

PV mounted to a hay wagon that rolls around the pasture. The epitome of "Try that in a small town".

So the fans are on the bottom pushing. Why not put them on the top and pull the air through...much more efficient in cooling?

Exactly that's what I was saying, I know they have the full size and mini pdp but just add the mini by default and not charge a ridiculous amount for a sheet metal box and some breakers.

I believe one of the guys in the videos I posted a few pages back today said this also happens with email.

It's a fixed window for the bathroom.

I agree to a point, they are still over priced in my opinion but some people have money to overpay. I know I've paid way too much for stuff. They'd sell way more if they were more inline with the general market and I'd wager to say make more money via volume. Just an opinion but I'd think nobody...

Good points but my important stuff like computers etc are on backup so for me it would not be a big deal..then I could just tun off the AC, dryer and whatever else I have going until the grid comes back on. Assuming the inverter would just shutdown and it would not hurt it ..it wouldn't be a big...

Thanks, I've got to find out what will work the best for us on the Texas / Oklahoma border area.

I'd like to hear why solark put 200A in their 15K. I believe they say it's to do exactly what we're talking about..to go between the panel and utility. Seriously, I'd be interested to hear their reasoning.

Alright then.

Yes, I saw that video but he's also using the European model that only does 240V then uses what I believe is called a auto transformer that provides a neutral to split the phase for 120V. I'm not sure I like that idea, I don't think that would pass inspection if I ever wanted to go that route...
