just a thought, when trying to parallel 4 XW inverters several years ago, the problem arose with paralleling the internal relays, going from grid to back up power and back, burning the contacts. If you truly want 60 kW or close you need 9 or 10 XWs in parallel. Outback uses the same relay. Is

It took me 3 days from the 10th of DEC. to the 13th when I got mine. There are still some glitches see below. One must also keep in mind the huge number of really crazy calls from DIY people who had no training installing systems. I know it sucks now but rumors of a really good interactive FAQ

Yes is the answer on Schneider. When do you need to order? I can get you a sales engineer as I am working with a few right now. Here is a link to the XW Pro that will meet future needs as well as California Rule 21. https://solar.schneider-electric.com/product/conext-xw-pro-na-solar-inverter/

Hi Jay - The battery kW rating isn't necessarily set. Assuming a 60 kW-DC PV system, we might have about ~50 kW (or a bit more) of PV inverter rating so I'd by default match the battery inverter rating to that (about 50 kW) if it was AC coupled. If, for example, we go with four SMA 6048-US Sunny

Thanks All for the ideas. For the battery inverters, I'm most interested in sticking with SMA or Schneider which I've had good experience with in the past. Over the past year and a half our experience has been focused on the Tesla Powerwall with SGIP incentivized
