Interesting thread, I have been following along.
Did anyone see/know the standby idle consumption on the SRNE 5kW?
5 MWh SRNE ASF48100U200-H 10kw.

I haven't seen a spec for the 5kw idle, logically it should be ~50% of the 10kw.
@Herculezz where did you order from? That's a great price, makes me want to order another one...

I got it from Abby directly from srne on Alibaba, although she did the order from a diff company but all the same I suppose, also what awg are u using battery to this beast? 4/0?

Thanks, looks like the price dropped since I ordered, mine showed it came from a different company as well with no issues.
It's currently hooked up with 1AWG marine rated from Greg's marine wire but that will be replaced with 2/0 welding cable since I have it laying around. The 1AWG barely gets warmer than ambient while I'm running the dryer.
I have my eye on some 4/0 that may go to the recycling pile at work but I think it's overkill for my short runs (I like overkill).

I should be able to test in the next week, possibly today. I think it will.
If you can add to that test under normal operation (not standby), if there is no power input available and batteries depleted where the inverter shuts down, will the inverter start up again when AC and/or PV is available on it's own. Thinking long term grid down situation.
Thanks very much!

I don't miss mine at all...
Yes. You can also program charging schedules if you have different rates from your provider.
I don't have different rates, but my grid tied (10kw) systems was "professionally" installed. I don't want to mess with it and void my warranties.
Right now I have once 30A circuit from the mains to bypass to a critical loads panel, or charge the batteries. Been running fine with the exception of a couple tolerable issues.
Does the SRNE create a neutral ground bond when running on batteries like the LVX6048 does?

I'll have to check on that, I'm not sure.
Thanks in advance. The ng bond is one of the reasons I am looking for another solution. My critical loads panel is a switched neutral panel based on previous forum discussion as suggested by @FilterGuy

I shared the vendor I ordered from somewhere in the first few pages of the thread.

Most likely a 3 pole double throw ahead of the critical loads panel.
We had all that discussion long ago. It was myself, Filter Guy, I think Tim got involved at some point and a few others. If neutral is pass thru and the inverter bonds N-G, then a 3 pole is required to prevent objectionable current on G.
I prefer the 3 pole double throw and have one installed. It allows me to totally isolate the solar system from the loads panels and grid. I also have one inverter of the pair that bonds N-G.
If the inverter is common neutral and bonds N-G, then a 3 pole would be required also. Only if it is common neutral and inverter does not bond N-G can a 2 pole transfer switch be used- as long as there isn't a N-G bond in the loads panel. If there is a N-G bond in the loads panel and common neutral in the inverter, then a 3 pole would be required due to N-G bond at the service entrance from grid.
You would have to read through the thread where @FilterGuy got involved in the discussion. It is a sub panel that allows for the configuration of a separately or non separately derived system. I looked back on the thread and you had a few post too @Quattrohead .
The sub/critical loads panel I am using is an Eaton/Cutler Hammer CH10GEN3050SN

Haha so I did. The funniest thing about that thread was saying that the 6048 was a decent bit of kit, it didn't age well LOL
