Could you please provide a diagram of the system?

There are some wires and stuff but that's the main parts I have. I want to add a 3rd 6000xp but with no utility a/c input. to better balance my loads. it would have solar and a 2ct 14Kw battery, but no grid. does that make sense?

OK.
1) a single battery is small for even 2 6000XP inverters. The battery is rated for 200A continuous and two 6000XPs can draw 250A continuous.
I would not advize adding a 3rd 6000XP without adding at least one more of the wall-mount batteries.
2) Would the 3rd inverter have solar or would it be strictly to provide more peak power?
3) Hooking up the 3rd without hooking it up to the utility is certainly not the intended mode of operation. It might work, but it might throw an error if 2 of the 3 inverters see the grid but the third does not. If at all possible, I would advize adding the grid input to the 3rd unit.
If you decide to try it anyway..... let us know how it works.
