Also incorrect. The LV2424 Hybrid will backfeed the grid, or the LVX6048. And there are several models that are "Batteryless" like the LV6548 I own. You can run it on Solar alone
LV just means low voltage. Not off grid.
I'm not arguing just for arguments sake, I just don't want someone to think an LV model won't work for them because of some silly reasons.
I'm with you and I offer this in an effort to get to 'the details' of this. I'm OK to be wrong and I appreciate the tone/discussion with you
I've consistently read that the "LV" models are off-grid for so long and my own 3048LV is off-grid.
Here's the MPP Solar "Inverter Selection Guide"
https://www.mppsolar.com/v3/inverter-selection-guide-2/ Perhaps using this as 'the definition of terms' will clear up the confusion?
Near the top they define "
Off-Grid" *You can't send power to the grid, you can only draw power from the grid.
Off-Grid or Hybrid?
Off-Grid inverters are defined as the inverter is only able to draw power from grid for backup, when it becomes necessary. Power flow to AC input is therefore one-directional. Hybrid inverters however are able to extra power to grid when there is surplus PV power and therefore power flow to AC input is bi-directional. It’s important to recognize that all Hybrid inverters can operate as Off-Grid inverters, but not vice versa.
Important: when selecting hybrid inverters, be sure to check for any local certification required for legal compliance.
The Off-grid models are in 2 tables....
Table 1:
Table 2:
My own 3048LV is here (e.g. off-grid) listed above .
The hybrids are here:

Very interesting.....
In general, the majority of "LV" models are in the Off-Grid tables... and perhaps this is why people (and I echoed that today) that "LV"(s) are off-grid... BUT I do see one - "LV 2424" - that is in the Hybrid table... and in the footnote, here's youre's -
https://www.mppsolar.com/v3/splitphase-lv6548/ and it says ".... Similar to the LV2424, the LV6548 is also a 120V output..." which might imply its Hybrid?
If LV = low voltage, what's low about 220-240v? as several of the "LV"(s) have 220-240 volts output and I don't see "LV" explicity defined anywhere on the comparison chart. Just curious
