It's up and running!
Both inverters are on line but obviously the single phase on the batteries is just charging them at the moment from the mains. They've been testing it out all afternoon and we've even been running off the batteries, not for long as they need charging. We were also sending power back into the grid! Not for long though, when Denis called me up for an overview it was generating a massive 50 watts which then dropped down to around 40 as we talked (it's getting dark here) and soon after that the inverter tripped out as it reached its lower threshold. Oh, and I'm going to have to keep an eye on the meter because things could get interesting if they come to read it and it's lower than last time. But that's not so likely this time of year.
Just now the control box on the single phase inverter says the batteries are charging at 0.8Kw and currently at 62% charge. Fully charged capacity is 10Kwh at 4.6kw constant load through the inverter, which is a about 2 hours run time, but I'll hopefully be able to kill off big loads like the washing machine so it'll run longer when we're not able to generate, at night or whatever.
Change-over on power failure is 1.5 seconds, change back is instant
Denis will return Wednesday to see how it's going and to set the system's IP up, so I'll be able to see what's going on from, well, anywhere
