In this episode, I am finally up and running with my Grid Tie Inverter with Limiter (GTIL2) and also with my off-grid PIP-2424 system. My GTIL2 inverter is working great with all of the safety sub-systems I installed. However, it does appear to have a slight issue where the power usage meter read-out display seems to only show 50% of the true power amount my home is using on the 110V A/C leg that is being monitored. I'm using my Sense Whole House Monitoring system as a comparison. I plan to post a troubleshooting video later to determine if the false reading is the Sense monitor or the GTIL2 device.
My PIP-2424 off grid system is also up and running too. It is currently charging my Valence battery bank via solar power and/or grid power if there isn't enough solar available. I am currently running a portable dehumidifier unit on the PIP inverter. It seems to be working as expected so far and consumes about 25% of the total load the PIP is capable of producing. I plan to continue with this test for about a week and then will increase the load to see how everything continues to operate.
