Have you compared your power bill to before and after to see how much you
are saving with 300watts going back into the grid? If so, how much did you
save and was it worth the initial price?

Hello, Very nice setup.. I have the same inverters and was wondering how
you wired the Selector Switch.. Also is there any fuse protection from the
selector switch out to your inverters? Thanks from San Diego, California

@collintheapplegeek It depends on where you live, but for most areas, it’s
legal to use this type of inverter without acquiring permits. Electric
companies doesn’t really care about grid tying until you reach the 2000ish
watts zone. With these inverters you will very rarely put more power into
your house grid than you are using, so for the most part it will just make
your meeter run more slowly, and not backwards.

hello again 🙂 I must tell you.. I have now ordered 10x 180w panels for my
house.. I will later buy a new inverter that manages 3200w .. to start with
i will connect 3 x 180w panels to my 24v 300A battery bank and run a 250w
inverter out to the net.. I can run the 250w inverter even when the sun is
down… Until i get the “real” inverter and all the panels up on the
roof… The final installation will be with 18 x 180w panels = 3240w 😀 ..
thx for a good vid!

Did you have to get this certified by your electric company? I am just a
beginner and want to get a setup with a grid tie inverter, it sounds like
you can connect this without the electric companys permission. Or is it
only when you want to get paid for your extra power.

Seems like hooking a very small GTI like that 250W to a huge amperage
battery bank would be the fastest way to burn out your GTI. Have you had
any issues yet? I suspect it’s only a matter of time before that GTI burns
out or even catches fire.

I fear your parallel battery wiring is trouble. The jumpers appear too
small. ALSO, what happens when one battery cell shorts? No longer equal
voltage, -2v. The bank is unbalanced and overcharges one battery. Maybe
boom…

Hi dashony i like your work, very tidy. one thing worries me is that i have
fried two pswgt-300 inverters by having them directly connected to the
batteries, and have since heard only pswgt-600 and above can handle direct
battery amps. i was using similar batteries and 2 x180 watt solar panels
through a missouri wind and solar mw160cc dump load to the inverters and
grid, with 25 amps plus into inverters also hooked up is a 500 watt mws
turbine but it was putting in less than 5 amps. cheers

wow… thats a nice setup you have there! looks proffesional! 🙂 I have a
setup much looking like yours.. I have 4x 150Ah 12V connected as 24v
(300Ah). These I have connected to a 250w grid-tie inverter just like you..
I have the setup with batteries right now since i can’t have the grid tie
running all the time. Only when i consume more power on a phase than the
grid-tie put in…. So i got my gridtie running only when the heatpump is
on.. 🙂 ..

Be careful with the GTI connected on your battery bank From experience I
have glued extra heatsinks on the side where the power Feds are and an
external fan to prevent overheat I had one burned out in the past Have fan

Dashony can you make a drawing showing how you wired your system?

Is it legal to put power into your house and the grid like that with a plug
and play grid tie inverter?

hi, can you please tell me what brand are those batteries?

All Australian GRID TIE systems have to be built and designed to – AS/NZS
4777.1:2005, AS/NZS 4777.2:2005, AS/NZS 4777.3:2005

In Australia you are NOT permitted to feed power into a house electrical
system like this without the system being signed off by a registered
electrician. After which the paperwork is then submitted to the authorities
as well as the insurance company that insures your home.

where did you get the 24v 240 invertor and how much i cant get hold of one
mate

What is the difference between a Grid Tie Inverter and the other Inverter ?
Can’t you use the other inverter as a Grid Tie Inverter ?

my gti works.. the solar panel was at 20v but apparently to less power .
24v battery installed and it worked, I didnt test longer than some
seconds,you can see the amps increasing.. it starts slowly.

Very nice set up How do you like the power monitor? and how did you mount
them to the wall?

I received the 300W with lcd for 240v and when I put power in I got an
electric shock from the dc input.. I measured it, 36VAC.(the input cap is
36VDC) Later on, still no solar panel connected, the capacitor from the
ammeter exploded, spitting black debri inside the housing.. I continued to
burn,because there is no fuse inside. Now it seems to be dead. although
only the ammeter part exploded. The box label: passed QC.. thanks,china!
