Sorry if this is in the wrong place.
It seems the Growatt 5000ES will fit my needs perfectly (aside from figuring out how to get it to output 120v via a transformer or something, but I've read something can be done)
My question is; how does the Growatt act as an MPPT SCC and an inverter at the same time? Can this single unit charge the batteries and output (what will be) 120v at the same time? I won't have any utility power, so it will all be solar and my 48v battery system.
I guess I'm having a hard time understanding how this unit will work. If the sun is down and I'm 100% on battery for the night, the Growatt acts as a pure sine wave inverter correct?
During the daytime, if my batteries are charging but I'm also using an appliance inside, the Growatt will charge the batteries AND provide pure sine wave power to the appliance?
I guess my confusion comes because I'm used to the sequence of: Solar Panels>MPPT SCC>Batteries>Inverter>120v appliance. With this sequence I can easily understand how the energy flows, during the day, at night, and while charging/using appliance at the same time.
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!!
