I have 2 Growatt 5000's that I just installed. My primary goal is power storage for when the grid fails (I'm in Texas so, yeah). I have no PV panels yet, I'm just charging off the grid for now. I want to add some solar in the new year. I'm going to start small - real small, like 1 or 2 panels just as a proof of concept. It will also provide some minimal generation to prolong the storage I get from my 4, 48V 100AH rack batteries. Anyway...how small can I go? The specs on the inverter list 150VDC as the start-up voltage. Forgive my rookie question, but I'm assuming I can't just get a couple 12V panels and get a pulse? Do I really have to start with 150V to get the inverter to acknowledge a PV source?
Thanks in advance!
