perfect

[@Sanwizard1]

You do awesome work my friend! I would have installed more batteries though. It seems Luxpower is making inroads into Sol-Arks market. Competition is always a good thing, but I wish there was a good US made inverter.

[@SolarEngineering]

I guess US made inverter would cost like 2 Sol-Arks :) Thanks for the feedback!

[@houseofancients]

Lol, you here too @sanwizzard ?

[@RJ-cc1fz]

SolArks are not USA made either

[@Sanwizard1]

@@houseofancients Yup! Hope all is well with you my friend!

Sunt din România pt. 250. Metri nu avem220 curent alternativ de 25 ani a oare trăim în epoca de piatră.mulțummesc pt. Pro Moavare sunteți faini dar mă întreb că o să pună taxare și pe solare

[@URackADisciprine]

Can the Luxpower 18Kpv be used like a grid-tie limiter inverter? Where you don't send power back to the grid, you only use it or self consumption from solar and batteries but take power from the grid when you need t? Are there any neutral/ground bonding issues to overcome?

[@SolarEngineering]

yes, it's limited to home mode with 0w export. I'm not aware of any issues with neutral/ground bonding.

[@RJ-cc1fz]

You make it look to easy. Did you set up CTs for zero export?

[@SolarEngineering]

Not for the main panel (Luxpower still need CT's even on load side). It's going to be a grid-tie system.

Where

[@houseofancients]

The 12k can pull 245 amps. If these are 100ah batteries, you are 45a short, so should be a minimum of 3 100ah batteries ?

[@SolarEngineering]

it's 100Ah battery, and 50A charge/discharge. During power outage all loads will be reduced to conserve energy. Batteries adding a lot to the system price.

[@houseofancients]

@@SolarEngineering yeah batteries are the most expensive part of a solar system.. Customer can always add more ;)
