While waiting for more pennies for buying battery number 7, my next task is to install the bigger 240v
Inverter Bypass Switch. My 24v DC to AC inverter is only 120v AC input/output. My next inverter will be 240v AC and I need (and now have) a new Inverter Bypass Switch to be installed.
The Inverter Bypass Switch allows switching between 2 AC sources (1 the grid or 2 the inverter, but not both at the same time) and powering the 'critical' service panel.
This next picture shows these switchs/panels:
The service panel is the obvious large box in the upper center and to the upper right is the white 24v inverter.
Currently mounted on the board, is the current (small) bypass switch with the red tags/signs on it.
Then on the upper left shelf, is the new (to me) 3 position 60 amp ON-OFF-ON bypass switch. When the red handle is up, the grid will be powering the service panel. When in the middle both will be disconnected. When the red handle is down, then the inverter will power the service panel.
It is a 3 pole switch, which allows L1, L2 and neutral wires for the 240v to be switched between the 2 sources.
Looking further to the right, is the complete inverter and to its right, is the 250 amp disconnect switch feeding the inverter.
Under them are the solar controllers for Arrays 4 and 3, left to right. And the 4 array disconnect breakers, 80 amps each, on the very lower right.
Further to the right we see array controller #2 below, then controller #1 above it.
Furthest right is the battery shelving unit. Between the 250amp breaker and array #1 controller are the 4 incoming 60amp breakers from the 4 arrays.
