Hello,
I have decided to set up a hybrid offgrid system of my own. I'd like to get this forum's input on how I intend to set it up and how I intend to use it.
I purchased the following equipment during the Black Friday sales that were going on:
EG4 6000XP Offgrid Inverter
EG4 Chargeverter GC
2 x 48V 100Ah 5.12kWh - Self-Heating Server Rack Lithium Batteries
Westinghouse WGen7500DFc
Future purchase: Solar Panels
I intend to use this as a hybrid grid/offgrid system. I'd like to use the 6000XP's bypass mode to power my house with the grid, but switch to battery power if the grid should go down. I have a very energy efficient house with all energy star rated and heat pump appliances. I should be able to power everything with a single 6000XP. I also have the generator, which I would connect to the Chargeverter then to the 6000XP's generator input to ensure that I am only sending "clean" power to the system.
I will eventually integrate solar panels into this system. Ultimately, I'd like to have my own microgrid that saves me money on my electric bill by using solar power first and using the grid as backup. I'd also like it to act as a backup for when the grid goes down, switching to solar/battery power in grid-down scenarios.
Does it seem like I've got the right equipment and use case intentions?
