Hello,
I just completed an off-grid installation, or almost, since I'd like to take advantage of the GRID when my solar production and battery are out!
I have a small technical room for my pool. In this room, I have a heat pump and the pool filtration pump. When everything is powered on, they consume about 3 kW.
To avoid drawing on my 6 kW system in my house , I installed a system with a GROWATT SPF 5000 ES inverter and 10x 435 W panels wired in 2x5 and // mode. I added a Pylontech USC2000C.
When solar production is poor and my battery is at 20% of its SOC, I'd like to switch the inverter to bypass mode. I ran some tests this morning, and in SolarFirst mode, the bypass mode works very well. Except that
In this inverter, the neutral and ground are factory-connected to the AC OUT output. Therefore, to operate safely, I can't have my utility input (GRID) which has already a grounded neutral and my OUT output have a second one (do we agree?).
Is anyone familiar with this type of inverter? I'd like to know if there's a way to disconnect this grounded neutral internally and take advantage of the dry contact outputs to manage the grounding depending on the inverter's operating mode?
Thanks and have a good Sunday!
 
Hello Mr. Bot!

Where do you come from?

Who wrote your script?

What are you trying to achieve here?

Where do you send your collected information?

What is your purpose?

That inverter has dynamic bonding. It only creates the bond, when not passing the grid through to the loads. You don't have to do anything, it's automatic.
