Keep in mind that most people might not have a load that will stump the Rosie as it is. That compressor supposedly can shut down dual XW's so it's something totally beyond a typical A/C or well pump. Not to get in the way of a still potentially cool feature though.
Motors, HVAC compressors, water pumps and even small clothes dryer motors pulling 45Arms on startup.
All these appliances are built to lowest cost possible and meant to run on "infinite" admittance grid power.
Good points. I did try my induction motor benchtop drill press with 10A variac set to 90Vac and it did reduce starting surge enough for my 800VA Victron inverter to start it. I was going to try small 5000 BTU AC next.

Cool, I would love to see it working.
Midnite should really consider creating all-in-one units. I mean and Inverter/charger/Mppt Controller. I think there is a market for this that the Solark and EG4/18KPV are occupying. You already have a reputation for making top notch products. Why not make something that has a solid ease of install like these other All-in-one units?
I know it a long ways off, but I’d like to recommend keeping the max Battery voltage at 65v. Victron, Schneider, Outback all have max battery voltages right around that amount. SolArk/deye however does not.We are working on this kind of stuff in more than one way.
The ULTIMATE MN Solar AIO will be the B17, if we'd finish it. Had to take a little detour on that unit

I'm in complete agreement. . I have 75kwh of battery modules that when fully charged has voltage at 64.8. I don't want to have to break down the battery just to get down to the voltage that the 18kpv and all the other AIO's require. I also have 20kw of the regular 16s batteries from SOK and EG4. But to charge the 64.8v battery modules I had to use a 4kw Samlex evo 48v inverter that can charge up to 65v, and then have that inverter connect to the gen port of my GSL 12KW AIO so I can use those batteries. But because I can't ac couple the Samlex with my AIO, so I have to be careful what loads I put on it otherwise it will trip the inverter. In short it as inefficient setup and I don't know if I've even explained it correctly.
most likely the igniter that is pulling that much current.
Igniter might pull 10 amps, but it's the motor surge that draws 45+ for less than a second during startup.
I use GTIL2 inverters (grid tie zero export) that utilize battery voltage 45-90v. My offgrid inverter uses up to 72v. Chargecontroller is an Outback which charges to like 70 ish volts I think

In a way if you look at a Rosie inverter +Barcelona/hawkes bay scc plus the associated epanels basically gives you an "aio" except it's one big vertical stack on the wall.
A full five? Stack of b27s will keep me satisfied. All those slots to be filled with chargers and inverters....
You lost me with the full five.
