You should be able to go to 32kW with four Outback Radians. I agree, there are not enough 32-100kW split phase inverter system options. With LiPO batteries becoming popular, a high integrated charging capacity is desirable in larger battery capacity scenarios, especially if trying to maximize gener

The Victron Quattro (120/240) is stackable to 6 units for 30 KW of split phase or 48 KW of 240V and 144KW of 3 phase if I’m reading the spec sheets correctly. Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 23, 2020, at 6:42 AM, Jay wrote: > > People might also look at Victron inverters. > > Jay > Peltz Power

The Sol-Ark manual indicates 240 Volt stacking to 8 units (9 units for 208V).  They list the "12KW" off-grid output as 8 KWs each.  So 64 KWs. anybody stacked a signficant number of them yet? Looking forward to hearing feedback from experienced installers. Best, Jeff Allan Sindelar wrote on

Hi August, Ganging multiple units gets pretty unworkable at a certain point. I actually have a friend here in Colorado who had Tesla engineered in on a 9 power wall system. They backed out and said they wouldn't support it, due to potential instability.  (Also, I'm working primarily with Blue Pl

The Tesla Powerwall system has worked well for us, and be configured up in the 50 kW + range. We've installed several 4-Powerwall systems totalling 20 kW / 54 kWh. In order to get to 50 kW battery inverter capacity, you'd need 10 Powerwalls. Now you can do multiple Gateways on site, so could concei
