I don't seem to have an issue set the inverter to shut down befor the
battery and the CCwill begin to charge again untill voltage rises enough to
start the inverter back up. Also set the genny to come on even above the
inverter voltage so a shut down does not even accure. If you use lithium
I've done the AC relay idea as well, on Schneider that didn't have the
easy off switching like the Outbacks. The problems are:
1) Much bigger relay, much higher current on the control side as well.
It required a relay for the relay.
2) If there's a malfunction, you are messing with the main
Hi RayThis house won’t have an AGS, manual start only. And your comments exactly, having to wait until the next day when hopefully there is enough sun to charge the battery is iffy. Or they could do the inverter bypass switch. Again I’m back to why is it a worse idea to install a relay on the AC?
I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate.
I was contemplating the discussion about how to deal with an inverter that
doesnt have the correct LBCO for a lithium LVD voltage.
A suggested option for OB was to install a relay triggered by the AUX and
controlling the inverter remote on/off
The aux off is only if the generator doesn't start. You need to set the
gen start voltage higher. Aux off is last ditch shut down, set for 44v
for lead acid, or 47 to 49v, depending on the battery and inverter.
Hopefully DC coupled PV will raise the voltage enough to turn the
inverters back
HI All,
I wanted to revisit this thread for one reason.
If you turn off the inverter at the remote on/off with the AUX relay, then
starting the generator won’t have any impact as the inverter is off.
So someone will have to go and reset the AUX relay.

If you do a relay on the AC output,
Hi Mac and All,
If you are about to do a Supply-side tap I'd encourage you to look into
the many advantages of using a Feeder Tap instead - one of which is that
since it's not on the load side of the Main the equipment need not be
Service Rated. (not that you might not want it to be anyway.)
Hi Mac -
Here's a list of NEC 230.46 compliant multitap connectors from NSI, maker
of Polaris brand:

Note that only the two-port variants are currently on their list, which is
sort of a pain. We've been using the IT-350 which has dual-side wire
