SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP

Yes I sorted this all out before ordering. They sent me all the details before I ordered. I made sure it was going to be the parallel version they were sending.
Bushbeast, what did you end up paying for that including shipping, etc. Your in Canada, so I assume CA dollars?
 
Sounds good, unless that 200AH is for the pair of them together. In which case it is closer to the going rate...
This is what I thought at first as well, shocked to see it is actually (2) ea for that price

Yeah. I contacted the seller and got the same info. That is a really good price. Unfortunately for me, no UL certs.
 
After doing a bit of research I've decided to bite the bullet myself and take a chance on buying an APS unit, with plans to buy a 2nd one later on, from here:
SRNE 10KW Support Split/Single-phase 48V To 110/240VAC Hybrid Solar Inverter Dual MPPT Max 22A Charge Current Pv Max 500VOC

Store: SRNE Power Store
Model: ASP48100U200-H
Price: $2,126.19 Canadian Dollars

Not exactly cheap since I'm paying for it in Canadian Pesos...lol...but still one heck of a deal, based on it's capabilities.
I guess I'll see once it gets to me, currently in transit... I'll keep you all posted

Attached is the proforma invoice.
It will be ~$2300, after the baba fees for using a CC, for 2 ASP 10kW shipped air freight, DDP...

Hurry up, I'm still researching inverters. :ROFLMAO:

Choices are a pair of 10K Quattros, a pair of The One, a pair of NHX or whatever Ian sells, or the ASP.

I don't want or need hybrid capability, I will not be exporting. Don't need AC coupling either. Just simple raw power.

If it were quoted with air freight I would have already completed the transaction.
 
Thinking ahead.
How would everyone go about wiring them up in parallel?

Option 1 - 6 AWG from each inverter to a double pole 60A breaker with L1's to one side of the bus and L2's to the other.

Option 2 - 6 AWG from each inverter to a power distribution block (I think that's what they are called, Engineer775 uses them in lots of his installs) then 2 AWG to a double pole 100A breaker.

I think option 1 would be "safer" but option 2 would make wiring easier.

I don't think I'll be connecting them to the grid at all, double conversation for grid charging with rectifiers if/when needed and use the inputs for the generator. My logic for this is I'm planning further ahead for my completely off grid setup someday (hopefully sooner than later).

They have replaced a members faulty inverter if I recall, they had someone else send theirs back for a board and I don’t think it went well.
I personally don’t intend to rely on their after sales service, I just liked that they were cheap (relatively) and the color hahaha. But straight from the source for half the price seems like a no brainer. Unfortunately, when I bought my first one, I understood even less about alibaba than I do now
Correct and same here. I’d already committed with Sungold or I’d have rolled the dice with direct.

Or could you put both units in split phase output, and then feed a 200 amp panel with a 60 amp 2 pole breaker from each inverter?
 
each leg isn't 10k, the whole unit is 10k. you mean 5k each.. hence 50amp breaker
You don't use 1 breaker across the whole unit
I meant each unit is 10k. I interpreted your 5k each as per inverter

Yea, I should have expanded on my thoughts further. I'm going to run them into a dedicated "inverter" panel then feed the house panels from the inverter panel. I figure this will make it easier to add more, not that I'll ever need them; yet.

I chatted with an Ebay seller who is selling the ASP SRNE and they seem to do a lot of installation business. I get the impression they are actively installing the ASP inverters right now. I think this inverter is going to cause other sellers such as Midnite, etc to rethink their pricing. 20kw for $2300 is a game changer. The top tier guys want $10000 to get 20kw. What a mismatch!

Depends, what is SRNE reputation for reliability, customer service and warranty? If you're relying on it to keep the lights on and the meat in the deep freezer good do you really want the cheapest option? I've never looked into SRNE so I don't know their history, if they can provide a comparable product to midnite, Schneider and solark then sure I can see this causing a disturbance in the force.
