Hey everyone,
I'm new here, thank you in advance for your time and help - I hope to be able to contribute in this forum over time
I have a question about setting up a single phase system with 2 Sungold 5000W inverters.
I have already hooked them up, everything according to the manual and schema on how to run them in parallel, and it's working well so far, configured in split-phase.
I don't need split-phase however, as I only run 120V appliances.
Currently, since the 2 hots from each of the inverters are going into the main panel into a two-pole main breaker, each bus bar is supplied by one of the inverters independently, so they're not sharing the load.
I'd like a single phase system, where the two inverters share the load, and I don't have to monitor which bus bar I have to use to run certain appliances so that they don't exceed 5000W individually.
I'd like only 1 hot wire going into the panel and for the 2 inverters to share any load that's required.
I'm unclear as to
1) how to bring the two hots and 2 neutrals together, and
2) what kind of panel to use that receives only 1 hot wire, or what the wiring in a standard 2-pole-main breaker panel looks like in this case.
I'm attaching 2 screenshots - one is the current split-phase setup, and one is the desired single phase setup.
Thank you so much for your help, I hope my elaboration above makes sense!
