My apologies if this is too basic of a question. I’ve searched and found that additional solar charge controllers can be added, but I am having trouble finding references to adding separate inverters to the same battery bank. Most users would increase their inverter capacity by going with a larger inverter or adding inverters with communications, having a master and the others as slaves. Consider my design as “organic” where I am trying to better utilize what I currently have.
I have a 60kw Lifepower4s battery bank that is being charged by four 48v Growatts SPF 3000TL LVMs and 14kw of solar. I have a low frequency 48v Sigineer 2400 hybrid that is powering my well pump and has its own battery bank. It currently doesn’t have solar and charges it’s batteries from the grid. I would like to disconnect the Sigineer from its batteries and connect it to the 60kw battery bank as that system is capable of producing more power. Power from the Sigineer goes to its own isolated panel and power from the Growatts go to a sub panel of my house. I am thinking I would rather connect the Sigineer to the larger battery bank than connect the well pump to the Growatts. The Growatts communicate with Lifepower4s on Li setting. Would connecting a second inverter system to the battery bank that is serviced by the 4 Growatts create any problems? Would I still have accurate SOC readings?
