are you sure you want to blow up your expensive sunsynk, because that is what will happen if there is inflow of power on the load port
Keith is mentioning connecting both sunsynk and micro inverters to the grid in port, which requires a grid connection, but won't work if there is no grid ...
grid failure/off grid = loss of power from both microinverters and sunsynk
be smart, do it the way it is supposed to be done
What I am questioning here is your assertion that
grid failure/off grid = loss of power from both microinverters and sunsynk
..and I am saying that conceptually and from evidence from others on YouTube and systems I have witnessed myself physically you are wrong.
The microinverters are designed to shut down if there is no grid, I agree that’s how they are designed to work but what I am saying having witnessed this myself is that if thre is another system that can provide a “grid” e.g a hybrid inverter with
batteries simulating a grid the micro or string inverters will continue to work.
I have physically witnessed a system with AC coupled fronious string inverters and Victron Quattro with battery back up in total off-grid mode. It works there is no grid connection in that installation. If the batteries get depleted the system shuts down as there is no “grid” and then they need a diesel generator to recharge the batteries to “wake up” the grid and then the AC coupled fronius will come alive again if there is sun.
again I gave the example of andy of off grid garage, he is also off grid, not only is he using a phoenix inverter to simulate generator AC power into his multiplus when he needs a boost but he also has microinverters with frequency shift control via his multiplus. His system is off grid hence the name of his channel.
finally conceptually the micro inverter or string inverter needs to see a grid to work. it does not know if the grid it sees is utility grid or a micro-grid. AC power is AC power and so long as the voltage and frequency is within spec and ther is sun it will come on.
edit: and no neither will the sunsynk shut down, the only difference between off grid and on grid is with off grid you can frequency shift your AC coupled inverters with the sunsynk so long as they are connected to the aux port whereas on grid you cannot. In the instance I gave in my initial post (Keith) where the AC coupled inverter were not connected via the aux port, then on or off grid you cannot control the micro or string inverter because but they will still work
