Solved. When using a EG4 6000XP with grid assist, would that be considered grid tied and i have to deal with all the POCO interconnect nonsense?

Is there actually a split phase inverter out there that any of you can think of that does what the 6000xp does but with more output power? And maybe including the ups/grid sideload function? Cause in case the 6000watt are not enough as many state, what would be the next option up?
Still incapable of grid feeding of course but still with grid backup/usp/side loading functions

"Parallel: Up to 16 units for a max of 96kWs of continuous AC power." The 18kpv or Solark 15K's can be tied, but there is no requirement to do that, I don't, and they both have about 50A of output instead of 25. They can also be stacked, I will likely end up with three. What exactly are you asking? You buy enough capacity for whatever your demand requires in increments of 25A.

Isn't the ability of an inverter to feed back into the grid already a problem? Or is the tieing of those mentioned inverters a physical step and not just software selection? If it is actually a physical thing that the backfeed lines are not the same as the ac input, i would prob dare to go that route.
But you seems to know better than me if that is the case.
Cant find much about it, thats why i am here
So thx alot for taking your time on this

There is either confusion on what you want or a communication breakdown.

These inverters don't have "INPUT" and "OUTPUT", spend a little time with the manual, you can download it online. The 6000XP is an off-grid inverter with a built in ATS. If you want to jack an inverter in to "help" feed the panel alongside connected to the same L1/L2 as the grid you need a grid-tied inverter, with certifications and permits and such.

Off grid means the output of the inverter is never physically tied to the grid. If you want to feed inverter output into your main panel, you will need to disconnect the grid from the panel while the inverter is connected. @fmeili1's diagram explains it better than words. The "Solar Generator" in the drawing can be whatever you want.
 
Ok...i think i got it...
Yes, i want a off grid inverter with either ATS build in in case i use to much or battery is dead/no sun.

Thx for the Clarification
 
A DC coupled system should do what you are looking for. I wouldn't go with an AIO inverter because of the small backfeed they can do when in Solar / Utility / Battery mode.

A standalone inverter and standalone charge controller should fix this issue, but some may have a different experience or more knowledge to share about that kind of setup.
 
Thx for your input. What do you refer to when u say small backfeed? Do you mean that it only does 25 amps per phase?
I was actually looking at this thing because of the all in one(hopefully)hassle free and ats inside with <15ms switching time which is UPS grade.
