Slow work day today so brain is wandering.
My project is small right now. But I started wondering about down the road as it gets bigger. I started to wonder about things like the big inverters for the house. I have looked at the MPP solar lv 2424 to do the split phase since I am in the states. So that's pretty neat. But I was wondering. In a scenario like that i would put inverter 1 on leg 1 of my breaker box and inverter 2 on leg 2. So ok thats all well and good. Parallel kit makes them out of phase so 240 works. Great!
However. I live in FL. I use on average 65kwh per day. That's almost 3kw per hour. During the summer more obviously being that it's like the surface of the sun.So, lets say I have 2 -2.6kw inverters. One on each leg, and I want to add some more capacity. (here is where i feel dumb) If i bought 2 more, and had a 2 and 2 setup. Would i wire the 2 that are in parallel (and sync'd via their phase sync) to the same leg? or is there some other piece of gear I am missing.
Would it make sense to have a bus bar for each leg and then wire the 2 inverters to that then in to the breaker box?
No idea if I will ever get that far, but curious about the technology and love understanding this stuff. So more of just questions on how that works.
Thanks all!
