    So I don't see how my transformer can wire up in that order. There is only one spot to run L1, L2 and N. I can't fit more than one wire into the ports on the transformer. There isn't an input and output spot, just one hookup. I thought that's why everything went to the main panel first. I'm...

    Good day everyone! I'm a beginner getting my first system (off grid) up and running. I'm using a growatt 5000es and a solaredge autotranformer for the 120v generation. I'm currently charging the system now and noticed that there is about a 10-12% load on the system via the growatt display. I...

Then another double pole breaker running that L1 and L2 from the main panel to the L1 and L2 of the tranformer. Then N from...

    I have the inverter set to sbu, but no utility power wired in. It's running off battery only with no AC hooked up from grid or powering any loads. I didn't do an amp test on the wire, I'll do that next and also require it per Lake House's post.

    I'm not sure if you are just turning this on for the first time, but if you have the power switch off, the inverter will still power up when you have panels or batteries connected and going through the menus. Once your done or charging is done the inverter will go to sleep. If you flip the...
