DIY Solar since 2016
I have worked in off grid solar for over 5 years.
But I have this nagging question.
For customers at the 4000W Inverter size; I've recommended 120V single phase inverters unless there is a specific 240V appliance they need to power.
My reasoning was that the 4000W split phase, when used for 120v applications required load sharing over each leg. (MAX 2000W per leg...)
Am I right or wrong?
The inverters I've been using are:
AIMS Power Corp
Sungold which is a knockoff of AIMS
