I am going to Output the Inverter into a Generator Sub Panel which has a 60 AMP Breaker. Do I size the WIRE for the OUTPUT (the 8 AWG) or do I size...

    Inverter Under AMP (AC IN) issues?

    Hi Folks, My Inverter (Growatt 3k) recommends a Max of 40 Amp AC input. If I use a 30 Amp Circuit is there any NEGATIVE (besides slower charging) to the battery? I am just using the system as a GRID backup at this point so slower charging won't be an issue (i hope). Thanks

    24v vs 48v? On-Grid Backup use only question

    Hi Folks, So if I desire a Grid backup system, where usage "Should" only be limited each year, which is best, 48v vs 24v. I have read that 48v is more efficient but I thought that if I decide to add a couple solar panels as a emergency charging source 48v would require more of them to do the...
