Some possible useful info: I got 2 2000w gtil2s wired to separate 240v breakers then to one 240v breaker in the main panel. I am using a limiting cable I made that has 2 ct clamps (one for each phase-wire) and 2 connectors (one for each inverter).
I am trying to have one inverter stay primary-master every time and the other slave every time. At the moment either inverter could be master or slave depending (I think) on which inverter is more responsive at the time.
The reason Im trying to accomplish this: I can then install batteries to be the power supply to only the slave inverter. Then the master inverter will supply whatever it can from straight solar and then batteries are only used when first inverter can not fully supply the loads. This would prolong the lifespan of the batteries and also allows the batteries to stay full more often. Also this would allow an offgrid inverter to be installed in line with the slave and not be in line with the master which can be beneficial for several reasons. Any help will be greatly appreciated. The pic is what Im trying to accomplish.
