What is the BEST Grid tie inverter with POWER LIMITER? Depends very much on your Breaker Panel!

[@BasedOcra-extended]

Thank you so much, this was the final piece of the puzzle I needed to understand which model I need. You're the only source I've found explaining this! If I wasn't broke I'd tip you Sir.

[@VegasRoManiacReviews]

Your comment means more than any amount of money, so I'm going to pin this one to the top so everybody can see it

[@dennismyles8450]

Man, good job of explaining your system. You showing us how to hook it up,on paper, is genius. Great job, I’m going to do the same. One question, how many solar panels do you have feeding your system?

[@VegasRoManiacReviews]

I have a little bit of a mixed setup because I've been building the system with scrap panels but I have 24 100 w new ecoworthy all the same and then up to 3,500 w. It's all kinds of mixed voltages and amps but they get along pretty well

[@dennismyles8450]

@ Thank you for the response. Continue educating the people and we will be watching. 👍🏽

I was using these but now as non limiter mode directly from solar panels, for limiter I am using solis 5kw inverter charger, solis inverter calculates like glit inverters but can work as off grid backup mode too, also it can charge batteries at 5kw. My solis inverter can see power generated by other inverters and can put that power to charge 48v 16kw battery. In Australia we have 220v. I fell into trap of 24v but 48v system is better as it heats less and you can have more solar input.

[@VegasRoManiacReviews]

That's awesome! And yeah Australia has very good sun. The trick with disconnecting from the grid is that it gets a lot more expensive so I've built small and then I keep adding stuff to it. In hindsight, I should have done what you've done, but now it's too late. I cannot restart without losing a lot of money

You can ask the utility to add a extension based to your meter

[@VegasRoManiacReviews]

That's the worst idea in the world. So if you call the utility company over here to make changes to your thing and they see that you're producing your own power. Not only that they will not make the modifications but also they will send some kind of like agency on your head to try to figure out if you used everything at code, because they don't want to lose the revenue and they don't want to lose the taxes because when you buy electricity, you're not only paying for electricity. You're paying for taxes on it

[@barryobrien1890]

@VegasRoManiacReviews just tell them you need to move your breaker box, which looks like a mess. Install an updated solar box that you can get anywhere and clean up your rats nest as well as getting the meter reconnected with decent room for added ct. They will know your bill is going down and they can see the panels so they know. Make sure you are not feeding power back as if they shut off the local transformer to do repairs or maintenance and you back feed power you could injure the line man who assumes the line is dead

Thank you for explaining how you use these grid tie inverters! I do have a question, your drawing shows how you set up the first 2 units on the L1 and L2 and I understand that and how it works but, for the 3rd and possibly the 4th and future units, how would those be installed into the fuse box?

[@VegasRoManiacReviews]

I will make a video on your your request and I'll try to cover it so that way we can all learn and then you will get your answer and thank you for watching

[@jimbaggett1233]

@@VegasRoManiacReviews Thank you, I look forwards to following all of your new projects, what you are doing is exactly what I have been trying to put together. I've watched hundreds of videos and yours finally snapped everything in place.

[@rdmd]

I know you talk about leakage due to the brief delay of the CT clamp informing the inverter to ramp up power. My question is, when you shut down a big load (like your A/C) kicks off, isn't there a chance that the same delay will cause the inverter to continuing pushing more power than you are drawing to the grid? My understanding is that if you feed back even a tiny amount of power without a utility agreement that they will force you to take your system down.

[@VegasRoManiacReviews]

@@rdmd it's true it happens the other way around too. So yes you have leakage when you turn off something, but remember the meter doesn't care which direction the electricity goes. You still pay for it. And no I don't think that their software inside the meter is smart enough to know which direction the electricity goes. I think they just see the sum total and that's what they bill you for and the sum total regardless in which direction goes

[@roadtrippingdrone5139]

confusing with that drawing lol
