Fantastic results! These Sunny Island inverters from SMA are amazing. The model is SI6048-US-10 and they are in a pair for 120/240 volt split phase. Each inverter outputs 120v single phase. And they communicate with each other to stay a perfect 180° out from the other one. This means 240v appliances will also work. I ran them up during a full load test. The goal was to see if they would handle outputting the claimed watts in the manual.
Welcome to my garage. I'm building a solar off grid system for my home and workshop. This will (hopefully) be able to power my home during blackouts, and grid-down situations. But, it also is a way to save on the electricity bill.
The rated output per inverter is:
5,750w continuous.
7,000w for 30 min.
8,400w for 1 min.
11,000w for 3 seconds.
I purchased these inverters through Ebay: https://rb.gy/loih7c
