As I poke around and try to re-educate myself, I seem to have move questions then answers at this point, but i am getting there. Brief back story, I have a 4.5 kW system based on Enphase m215 micros. My goal is it add some additional power in the range of 1.5 - 2 kW and have some off-grid power that I can still tie into the grid.
With my first intro post, I was recommend to check out the Schneider pros and they offer what looks to be some good options, but for my current budget I would think the CX4048. I also have been looking at the Outback Radian and the FXR inverters ( leaning towards 48V ). It seems that the FXR are just a 120V, where a Radian can do a split phase 120/240V? Am I getting that right? Being that I am looking at adding on a bit more power and having an off-grid option in an event of an extended power outage, do I need 240? I am currently thinking I just needing to keep a fridge / freezer, microwave, some lights, and possibly a 3/4 hp motor ( heating and evap cooler) going so this is that fine to have 120V only? Then if I with to expand more, I can add an additional FXR for 240V and higher output, correct? Is there any benefit of this over the Radian?
I do understand that I still have a lot of homework on my load needs, but I will get there.
Regards
