24v 3kw pure sine recommendations

[x98myers7]

I'm getting rid of my Growatt in favor of separate components.

is Giandel still the "standard" for entry-level pure sine inverters? any other recommendations?

I really would like a grid-assist charging feature, so suggestions there would be appreciated

 

[time2roll]

For stand alone I recommend GoPower inverter. This is stand alone. No charging feature, No grid assist, No solar, No network communication, No transfer switch.

Schneider Conext SW4024. Not the low price selection but Rock Solid.

Whoops, I read it completely backwards.

Yes, the OP did say he was interested in a stand alone inverter, but if I read his post correctly he also was looking for units with grid-assist charging feature suggestions. The Samlex EVO has grid-assist charging feature.

Why?

With only 3kw needed, why go to the trouble of seperate components?

no AFCI built in. I'm implementing a Midnite classic 150 scc for AFCI.

I know you asked about a discrete inverter but if you are going to charge from ac I suggest you look at inverter/chargers.
Its just about impossible to get a discrete charger with the same configurability and/or quality that you can get in a decent inverter/charger.
I like the Samlex Evo series.

 

[Mattb4]

Interesting enough I have contemplated going for separate components. I do not know anything about its quality but in my searching on various inverter chargers with ATS I ran into a LF type one over at Treeline power systems. https://www.treelinepowersystems.co...nverterCharger-with-Transfer-Switch_p_97.html it says it has a two year Warranty. It can come in either 12v, 24v, or 48v.

Looks like a white label Signieer.

X98myers7, just curiois. What did you go with?

 

[Dynoman]

I once had what appeared to be a relabeled Signieer 2000 watt 12VDC 120VAC inverter/charger with the name Sungold Power. The manual for the Sungold Power and Signieer inverter/chargers was almost identical. It was a good solid low frequency inverter/charger, but with little programmability and idle power consumption was on the moderately higher side. The unit was programmed with a few dip switches and a rotary switch selector for battery type. The inverter/charger did not have a Lifepo4 charging profile although the Gel profile was close and could possibly be used. At the time only lead acid batteries were in use in my system so it was not tried with Lifepo4.

The system was changed from 12VDC lead acid batteries to 24VDC and then to Lifepo4. The Sungold Power Inverter/charger was sold and the Samlex EVO 2224 inverter/charger was purchased. The Samlex EVO is a superior inverter/charger.

For a limited budget the Sigineer is a good inverter/charger.

3000 Watt 24 Volt 120VAC Sigineer inverter/charger

3000 Watt 24 Volt to 100V 110V 120Vac DC to AC Pure Sine Power Converter Charger

3000W Pure Sine Power Converter, converts 24V to 100V 110V 120VAC. Built with smart battery charger of 50 amps. LF transformer inverter, 50Hz 60Hz output.

www.sigineer.com

3000 Watt 24 Volt 120/240 VAC Split Phase inverter/charger

3000 Watt 24 Volt to 120 / 240Vac Split Phase Pure Sine Inverter Charger

3000W Pure Sine Power Converter, converts 24V to 120V 240VAC. Built with smart battery charger of 50 amps. LF transformer inverter, 50Hz 60Hz output.

www.sigineer.com

I sometimes consider purchasing the the Sigineer 3000 Watt 24 Volt 120 VAC inverter/charger as a backup incase the Samlex EVO goes down.

My biggest concern with the Sigineer inverter/charger is when using it in the Battery Priority Mode (Inverting) providing the grid-assist charging feature, the unit will not switch to the grid until the battery is at 21.5 VDC and charge the battery. That is too low for my system. If it was 24 or 25 VDC that would be great.

Note: The idle consumption listed for the 3000 Watt 24 Volt 120VAC Signeer inverter/charger is listed at 37 watts with inverter efficiency of 88%.

See attached manual.

X98myers7, just curiois. What did you go with?

haven't decided yet. the Midnite classic is on the way. I'll run the Growatt for a bit more... maybe even keep it. I'm really only changing from the Growatt to have AFCI protection and the peace of mind that goes with it.
