You would need a shunt trip rated @600vdc , 25 amps I'm guessing. A DC rated contactor might be better, but where to find either? And what control voltage will the ST or contactor use? I assume its grid-tie if an AHJ is involved. The LG RESU would also require both pos and neg be switched off

There has been a lot of great information that has been shared. This list is truly awesome! My takeaway is that, if Li-Ion is going to be used in a system with an old FX inverter, probably the Discover would be the best choice. Due to cost and potential compatibility issues, a better
