I have an off-grid setup consisting of a single 6500EX connected to 15kW of EG4 LLV2 batteries and fed by 2 strings of 8 solar panels in series, each string is ~ 330V Vmp, 395V Voc, 10.96A Imp, around 7kW total. I use it to feed power to my 120V 50A RV and the 30x50 metal building the solar equipment is housed in and so far it’s been working perfectly for what I need it to do. My concern is for the future because I don’t trust the longevity of the 6500EX. Unfortunately, I bought the system components back in August 23 right before it would be discontinued.
I’m trying to find an AIO inverter that would be able to replace the 6500EX if/when I have an issue down the line and would like to buy it now to have it ready as a backup. I only need 120V AC and at least 6000+ watts output. Is there another inverter that will put out what the 6500EX does at 120V and be able to input my 2 solar strings(with some headroom for temps getting down to 30 degrees) and also communicate in closed loop with my batteries? I could try and find another 6500EX but would rather have something that has a better reputation and is more reliable. I’m not concerned with price either, I’ve looked at all the high end brands and can’t find anything that does what I need without going overkill with a high output split phase 240V inverter crippled to run at 120V only.
