Solar Joules are catch and release
I've got two EU3000 generators that I can parallel to make 6KW (5.8 continuous) at 120Vac. This has worked fine when I could connect them both in parallel to both phases in my breaker box and only run 120V loads. But now I have HVAC splits and other 240V loads that I'd like to run, and I'd like to be able to use my existing generators.
I was hoping that the 'parallel' connections were some way of allowing the inverters to talk to each other and sync up their outputs, and that a low-power transformer would allow one of them to output a reversed phase, but it looks like they just sync up to each other over their output terminals.
Would something like: https://signaturesolar.com/growatt-5kw-split-phase-transformer-ats-5000t-es/ allow me to connect one generator L1-N and the other L2-N, produce 120/240 for the house, and have them pretty much share the load? [Assuming the load didn't exceed 5KW, and the imbalance didn't exceed 2.5KW, which I can manage manually].
I have a complex solar system without batteries, so (until I have batteries and some kind of hybrid system), this would just be for running the house with the solar disconnected.
Thanks!
