  • Post in thread: AC Outlet Possibilities

    Hello everyone, I am a newbie at this and I am still trying to figure out a solar system that works for my future off-grid house. 1) For every sine wave power inverter (assuming it comes with one outlet slot) how many AC outlets can I 'branch out'? Just like a normal house, I would like to...

    Hi snoobler, Thank you for your reply. That was really helpful to know I should be on the lookout for an inverter with a terminal block. Do you happen to have a photo of how the L N and G would branch out to multiple outlets? I am having trouble imagining it's installation. Now that I know it...

    Also, you mentioned peak power, which is something that is written on all the inverters I have seen so far. What does it mean to have a 1000W inverter with 2000W peak power? Does that mean I have keep using it close to 2000W or it's just a fail-safe just-in-case-you-overload kind of scenario?

    That makes a lot of sense. Thank you :) 1) What is the standard cable for this L N and G connection to the inverter? I am assuming that has to be the most important part to get right if I want multiple breakers/ outlets. 2) How do I recognize low frequency inverters from high frequency ones...

    Thank you for your input. 48V makes sense since I am considering higher amp for my place. I will have to double my battery capacity as I was considering 24V. I would also like some clarifications about grounding my system. Yours for example, you only ground your charge controller and main...

    Can you check if my understanding of the grid (attached photo) is correct? Assuming that I have an inverter that handles 2-3,000 watt and it goes into a C63 amp Isolator and then 6-20 amp MCB to supply electricity to sockets and appliances. I am using only 5 items as an example only, I know I...

    Thank you, that was very very helpful! Another question I have about grounding is, I am thinking of building a boat house. Nothing fancy, but would like to have some lights, USB charging ports and if possible, one or two AC outlets. Is it possible to put a solar system in seeing there is no way...

    Thank you for your input. It makes more sense now. I am in Malaysia and using 240V 50Hz. It seems like I ll need an inverter of 15,000 watt if I want to be able to have a 60A grid like a normal house. Not that I will be using that much power on a daily basis but assuming I have indoor and...
