Hello all.
I'm looking for feedback on my planned use of a Growatt to supplement my home grid power. I have seen plenty of examples of using the Growatt inverter with AC input. But I have yet to see anyone bisect a singe circuit coming from a home panel and into a home. It seems like an obvious use, but I haven't seen an example of that specific application and I'm wondering why.
My idea was to mount a Growatt next to my home's panel and put one of my home's circuit's on the growatt (kitchen circuit with fridge). The goal would be to shave off some from my power bill, but also to be able to have one circuit of the house with power if there is an outage.
My thought was to put the AC input to the growatt directy from the panel from my kitchen circuit. Then connect the AC output to the same line going to my kitchen. Then during the day the refrigerator and appliances woud be on solar and when batteries run dry it would automaticaly switch to the grid.
I was thinking of spending about $3000 for a 1 kW array (10 x 100W Rich Solar panels) + 24 V Growatt and ~200 A-h SOK battery.
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.
