A little confused about off-grid/on-grid.
I had the idea I was building an “off-grid” system, now not sure.
Reading the installation manual for my Schneider Electric Conext XW Pro 6848 Hybrid Inverter/Charger and attached Conext XW+ Mini Power Distribution Panel.
I did not know it had a built in battery charger that can use AC from the utility to charge the battery bank. There is a section that shows how do the wiring/bonding/grounding for this.
It is done differently than the “off-grid” instructions.
It would be great to have AC charging the battery bank, as there are times (hurricane season) that there will be no Sun for a few days as the storm approaches. If the utility can keep the battery bank charged until the storm takes down the grid, we would be ready to go w/ full batteries.
Is there any reason I should not connect the AC circuit in this, so as to charge the batteries?
