Yes in my mind that was my intention just what you wrote, with no examples to go by, but now it makes more sense to shut off the main breaker and to energize my main panel from the sub panel/ inverter to power my load , this is the inverter I have, and I would not dare to try and to switch any...

Thank you, this is a very old house, my wife’s parents and I’m sure the panel was probably from the 50’s, I’m seriously looking into changing it at this point, I am greatly appreciative for all the positive feed back ?

I have both panels and batteries, I just wrote that I’m seriously changing the panel out , thank you for your positive input it’s greatly appreciated and I know I have many changes to make at this time ?

Looks I have the same inverter

I don’t know a ton of this info but I know that I had to set up the perimeters for the battery charging looking into the Growatt manual

I’ve got 4 / 200 amp hour Renogy batteries set up for 48 volt since my inverter is a 48 volt 6000 watt split phase

This was before I had changed my inverter on the left side to 48 volt Growatt the other 2 I had bought never worked

You did a beautiful job and I’m sure the cost was quite phenomenal as well ??

beautiful shop and setting

The wires from my auxiliary panel that comes from the inverter are tied into the breakers were the wires are connected from the main,, I have no switching system other then to shut off each individual breaker in my main panel and what will power those wires are the wires coming from the...

I would then turn off each individual breaker except the one that provides the 240 for the ac inverter input and then turn the breakers on my auxiliary panel to provide power from the inverter to the main panel breakers wires

Does that make sense what I’m doing ? All I want to know is it necessary to connect the neutral wire from the main to the auxiliary neutral which will tie into the neutral from the inverter

This is a picture of the main and I have 2 white wires connected to a small connector ready to screw on to the neutral bar, the picture above this one is the auxiliary panel which shows the 2 wires already connected to the neutral from the inverter

I am in Illinois

I understand what you are saying, will look into a switching system if I can afford it, my inverter allows power from the main, to supply backup if the solar is not sufficient or the batteries drop below a shut off level. But you still haven’t answered my question whether the neutral wire...

I have a 48 volt 6000 watt 240 split phase 18000 surge Growatt inverter. I have 240 volt input to the inverter off the main and 240 output to the auxiliary panel with a neutral, to back feed the main once the breakers are off on the main. The added 240 cord to the inverter from the main shall...

Same here, new for sure, did you look at your manual that came with the Growatt? It shows some of the settings, in fact it takes some time to figure how to work the control setting themselves but reading the manual over a couple of times helps one to understand just what they are saying

Hopefully this will help you, you may have the same manual which you have to put into the inverter whether your using 12 volt lead acid AGM or lithium ect

Sorry I didn’t see this response except your last one, as you see in the one picture I added the 240 receptacle outlet to power the 240ac input that would be the only thing powering the inverter I did see that about the neutral from the inverter,I just wanted to be certain for caution sake ...

The 2 wires white are hanging there in the photo awaiting for a good response to connect to the neutral bar

Yes I’m looking for input to make the changes

Will Prowse if you could give me you input I would greatly appreciate it. WILL, My main power is on the left side,, my auxiliary panel that’s connected to the inverter is on the right side, I am back feeding the wires from my inverter auxiliary panel to the main panel circuit breaker wires...

Have you an answer for me ?
