I was wondering if anyone has comments, experience, etc about the SNRE SEI series hybrid inverters. I am.looking at get two of the 12k units for us market
 
Borick confirmed for me the SEI is the re-label of the HESP line, but they are the same, with same firmware.
The ASP line is different from the HESP in the features each support.
 
LOl
I am.good with that as I need to order 2 of them in the next two weeks or so. Was looking at deye but the crap that deye, along with sol-ark did puts a bad taste in my mouth as these go.on my boat going through international waters
BUT BE WARNED: For me that long thread ended with an order for two 12kW SRNE HESP, now on my bench, waiting for the swap over from the current set up! :ROFLMAO:
 
Hmmm.
What kind of an environment will they be in?
The HESP might be the better choice if there will be frequent humidity swings.
If they're going in a conditioned space I'd go ASP to save some money.

Hesp price seems fine. They are in the engine room, so call it semi conditioned space

I'd lean towards the HESP, wish I had some hands on experience with it to say for certain.
Have you considered a modular system? I'm sure space is a premium but being able to easily swap components could be worth it on a boat.

I can connect a battery pack to one 12k HESP on the bench, to check a function/noise/feature if you want to know something specific.
Actually I have been thinking of doing this for my own benefit - get some setup done prior to the big swap-out-the-existing-inverters day, and check the idle current etc.

What do you mean modular? For space I have a wall in the engine room about 6ft tall 5 ft wide for inverters.

A system that has individual inverters, mppts, etc. For example, Victron.

That should be more than enough space for either inverter. How hot will it get in the engine room?

Same internal breakers and parallel capabilities?
Fairly confident.
I swear there was a post confirming it but I can't find it. Found it Post in thread 'SRNE 12kW IP65 HES and 10kW ASP' https://diysolarforum.com/threads/srne-12kw-ip65-hes-and-10kw-asp.81544/post-1169520
Edit to add, I know that's just a post but specs and photos also look identical.

I did look at victron. But the cost was more than I wanted to pay as I would essentially need either 6 of the 5000va s plus all.the other equipment. As the 15000vas are only in 230vac, not splitphase, as i need. I have two 50 amp sources and two 50 amp panels. Electrical panel is set up as industrial automation with about 100 breakers, 100 relays and contactors, and 4 plc's.

System wise there is one 33kw 240vac genset, one 5.4kw 120vac genset, two alternators, 48v 100amp. 10kw of solar, and about 120 kwh of lithium for the inverters at 48v. And two sets of headway cells, each are 3 24v packs, in two separate locations for thrusters. There is also four agm 12v batteries for engine starting.

Engine room temperature should be between low 80s and mid 90s depending on current sea temp.

Thank you for the link.
 
Damn it must be a big boat!

Have you considered a mini split or midea U inverter to keep temps down a bit in the engine room, if you have the headroom to power it?

Here's my ASP thread if you decide to go with them.

Ya, looks same. Buddy bought those for $1500
