New Y&H split-phase 10kW hybrid inverter

[fafrd]

For reference, here is the post where a Forum Member was quoted $960 + $260 DDP (shipping and duty) on the 10kW split-phase SRNE inverter: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/a-catalogue-of-all-inverters-in-one-place.65743/#post-826386

Is there a manual for this anywhere?

Yea but I'm not able to order unless I use a bank transfer... ?

Sunevo Solar Co Ltd. Anyone?

Has anyone done business with them? I'm ready to make an order, looking for last minute reasons not to. https://sunevo.m.en.alibaba.com/company_profile.html https://sunevo.m.en.alibaba.com/index.html

Why is it called a hybrid inverter? It looks fully off grid to me

It has an AC input and you can program the times you want it to power critical loads from grid rather than from battery power…

It can export per the manual. I'm trying to get one to verify / be a guinea pig... Figure I'll eliminate middle man in the process...

Megarevo vs SRNE

Debating between Megarevo R10KLNA and SRNE ASF48100U200-H for our inverter. We'd like the option to be hybrid, but will mainly have the system back feed into a interlocked electrical panel. Curious to hear everyones thoughts on the two. The Megarevo is about double the cost of the SRNE...

This is a rebadged version of the same inverter sold through Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Inverter-Spl...mzn1.fos.17f26c18-b61b-4ce9-8a28-de351f41cffb

And you can also get it from Y&H through EBay for under $1600 ‘or best offer.’

Thanks.
I wet there are at least a half dozen SRNE clones out there.

I'll check out the ebay option.

I'll gamble with it ~1200 but if I'm spending ~1600 I'd probably jump up to 2 6548s..

Yes, but not control the export. All excess or zero.

Looking forward to your opinion…

Pretty sure these are rebadges, not clones.

Pretty sure if you offer $1500 on eBay you can score one. Not sure about $1200…

 

[42OhmsPA]

Agreed. I tend to interchange clone and rebadge...

I'll spend another day messing around on alibaba before the ebay.

Interesting. I wonder how it would do that? Sending back power on ac input line?

I don't know exactly, that's above my expertise (for now).
I'm assuming it syncs with the incoming grid connection and feeds back on the ac input. I think voltage increases slightly above grid.

Not very useful in the US without UL listings. If only they had some CT's and limiting features like their GTIL's.

They have UL.

They do not support export limiting with external CT sensors or power meters.

Trying to order from SRNE direct... Still a few hundred cheaper than any US outlets.
I'll start a new thread here soon...

I’m sure you read the other thread…

Just be certain the final price you pay includes any duty or taxed due prior to delivery…

Looking forward to hearing about your experience as it unfolds…

The one on amazon from Y&L has UL Listing? It's not listed on their ad, or visible in any of the pictures.

This other model does support zero export, not splitphase

SRNE has UL certification and the inverter itself is almost certainly labeled UL.

Other rebadgers have sent me their UL certificates which are all in SRNE’s name.

So whether Y&H can also send you their copy of SRNE’s UL certification or not, I cannot say, but the inverter itself is almost certainly labeled UL.

Here is SRNE’s manual: https://www.srnesolar.com/wp-conten...ase_solar-charger-inverter_usermanual_1.4.pdf

In the ‘Datasheet’ at the end, ‘Certification’ on the last page includes:

Safety: IEC62109-1, IEC62109-2, UL1741

All the rebadgers generally just use the manufacturers manual, sometimes replacing ‘SRNE’ with their own name.

So the manual you get from Y&H almost certainly includes this same ‘Safety’ section on the ‘Datesheet.

If you ask Y&H for a link to the manual before purchasing the inverter, you can probably confirm this at low risk even if they know nothing about the inverter they are (re)-selling having UL certification…

Here is Y&Hs website: https://www.yonghuisolar.com/collections/hybrid-solar-inverter

They appear to include a manual download for all of their hybrid inverters, but the new split-phase model is not there (perhaps because the website lists prices in Euros and appears to be aimed at the European single-phase market…).

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BM5NQT6T/ref=emc_b_5_t?th=1

That is a single-phase model - not really relevant to this thread (oh, just saw you already noted that).

And also, zero-export is probably less descriptive than ‘zero-export to CT’ or ‘export to CT’…

 

[42OhmsPA]

Attached is a copy of the manual SRNE sent me through Alibaba last night/this morning. Pg 42 has the UL1741 listed.

For future reference

I seen zero export mentioned by someone else before I commented. Zero export to Ct is what the inverter in the link I shared has. If merely trying to use the zero export to Ct functionality to cover all of the splitphase main panels 240v and 120v loads, then all that is needed is a single phase zero export grid tie inverter.
