Topic starter  

Had my 6kw unit running th house last night for an hour or so. Everything was great! Started up my 2 ton heat pump without even flinching.  The second time it started it the well pump was also running. Once those cycled off I hit it with my electric hot water heater and she just hummed right along.

Seems the max surge the 6kw is capable of handling is somewhere around 70A, or nearly 3x it's rated max continuous output.  This hasn't been fully specified though.

Glad to hear it's running well for you.

2   GS 6kw  in 120 volt  sync mode  should start a 4 ton  heat pump    If the max surge is less than  140 A  .    No  test  been done on youtube  if it will run a 4 ton heat pump  8 hours  continuous .

Genetry solar right now is literally 2 dudes trying their hardest to keep their heads above the water...

...it's not easy.

 

If the total load is less than the rated power of the inverters, they should be able to run 24 hours continuously.  Genetry Solar inverters do not have artificially inflated ratings.

My  solar panel  and  all  the battery  can only  run  8 hours  if  I  use  a 12kw  inverter .   Two  6kw GS  inverter  that can handle  140 A   surge  should  be able  to run  a  4 ton  heat pump   8 hours    instead  of  waiting  for the   GS 12kw .    The  heat pump  is on a dedicated 240 v  line  and  not  L1  N  L2  .   Thank you .
