Hi,
looking at the 6000XP, it seems like it may do what we need.
Ideally we want to avoid interconnection as the net metering benefits aren't an incentive, and avoiding all of their requirements/process will maker life simpler/cheaper, and give us more options in what we buy.
I got hold of 16 x REC 370W panels at a good price, our energy use is pretty low, about 16kW a day at the most, and plan on getting an EG4 48v battery to start with.
A few questions if any one can offer guidance.
- Can we run the grid through the inverter to our main panel so we can power the house circuits?
- Can the 6000XP use solar and battery when available, and when it's not, automatically switch to using the grid?
- Is there any possibility that the inverter could back feed the grid? I hope not, as we want to stay of the power companies radar.
- Am I on the right track with this wiring diagram? what's missing, needs changing?
thanks!
