Hi wrenches, I have been informed off list that my system is not a
supported configuration, that one phase can be paralelled, but the
other two can not, one only on each of the other legs. So unless
Outback comes back with more info, I was wrong. (mine still works, it
was suggested I am very lucky)
I have used the Apollo in different configurations, stacked in single
phase, but I have not tried 3 phase stacks. Maybe you could conact
Apollo.

If you mean your system in Minneapolis, that is OK because they are only
paralleled on the input (grid) side.
You can have as many inverters as you want selling back to the grid
(even on 3 phase) as you did... Just can't parallel
their outputs for off grid use when the power goes down. Each inverter
CAN drive its own AC branch load
though.

Another method is to use the 120 volt VFX 3648, with one master and 14
slaves. (15 total, 5 in paralled on each leg) Check this with Outback
as the 3 phase is different now than it was back in 2003. The three
phase was the master generated a square wave and each slave would use
this to lag either 120 or 240 degrees. For standalone not grid tie.
I did a multi inverter on standalone 3 phase.
Also a good source for this might be Julie Haugh
<j...@greenhousepc.com <mailto:j...@greenhousepc.com>>; She has done a
lot of work with Outbacks

Hi Daryl,
You might look at the new Outback 8kw 120/240v
I know that you can connect up to 10 in parallel, i don't know if you
can do it 3 phase however.
