Re: LuxPower - emergency backup enabling

I have been thinking about that suggestion, more as an emergency backup, but with that DC-AC portable inverter , that looks like it only goes to 48V , wont the DC input from the PV string be much higher than that? or do you just have a few panels connected? So am I basically screwed with what I have...

Re: LuxPower - emergency backup enabling

I have two Pylontech US5000c batteries (9.6KWh total) mounted in a 19" cabinet. I have the Growatt min 5000 and Luxpower 3600 mounted on the wall next to the cabinet with the associated isolators and meter. This is all in a utility cupboard on the side of the house and wired through to the cons...

Re: LuxPower - emergency backup enabling

With that small inverter would I need to disconnect the PV from the Growatt inverter and then connect it to that small inverter and then take the AC from it on an extension lead to use in the house to try and reduce the load on the batteries ? But would not be able to charge the main batteries in an...

Re: LuxPower - emergency backup enabling

So am I basically screwed with what I have? (Growatt min 6000 with PV + Luxpower ACS 3600 with batteries) In an extended power-cut I can run the UPS load until the battery expires and then everything is off. Is there a solution that will let me keep the batteries, PV and preferably the inverters, or...

Re: LuxPower - emergency backup enabling

Thank you for the reply it is appreciated, I am just trying to understand enough so I can explain enough to the electricians as to how I would like things to work. (I went back and read the manual for the ACS 3600 and you are correct it does say UPS) Where are you suggesting the placement of the man...

Re: LuxPower - emergency backup enabling

I am not an electrical engineer so please excuse me if this is a stupid question. I have a Luxpower ACS 3600 and Growatt min 6000 (with 5.4KW PV) that are AC connected to the house and grid. The PV powers the house load, them charges the battery and if anything is left exports to the grid. Is it pos...
