Im thinking of purchasing the luxpower 8k hybrid to replace my current growatt min 5000 TL-X.
I want to continue to feed back to the grid and add 2 x 48v 100ah pylontech 5000 batteries and an additional 4 panels.
I currently have 9 x 490w panels. They produce between 20kw to 22kw per day year round.
This is for a small retail store that is open from 9-5am. We have frequent power outages that can last for up to a week.
Power requirements are to run lights, multiple laptops, networking equipment, and a windows server which handles a pos system and the security cameras. This is equipment runs 24*7 and shows 3.4 & 2.0 amps (240v split phase) on my clamp meter.
Power wants are to run two 240v split phase minisplits from 9am-5pm. 1-12k & 1-18k minisplit.
Today I put my clamp meter on and fired everything up and it showed 15a & 14.2a on each leg.
So, the luxpower with 33.3 amps and 8000w should be capable of running the whole load. Am I missing something? Is there any reason to buy the 12k model?
