I am happy to report that II have two GS 6k Inverts up and running. A few more adjustments, then they will be hooked up to the Main breaker, and be ready for prime time. Will have Pictures and Videos p soon.
I am preping the cableing and will be putting them on a 6k test before I allow on my house panel. Mainly to make sure my battery bank will be able to keep cool when under half load. since I will rarely have it maxed out for any length of time.
First is Master, Second is Slave readings. The Slave will need to be calabrated which is next on the list.

To be fair, I think I got my two split phase 8000W PJ units for...$350? Maybe $400 each? I mean, if they do 2000W continuous on a single leg that's easily worth it to me...
Its easy to forget how insanely capable the GS inverters are... my jaw hit the floor when the load test videos dropped.
I just wish Power Jack would stop saying 8000W as if it is a wattage when in reality it is just a model number and the unit could never do 8000 watts even with 1-5 seconds of surge. I realize you have the potential of a sucker born every minute but people are easily confused into thinking 8000w means 8000 watts when I then have to explain to them that they will be lucky to pull 2500-3000 watts continuous out of the unit with maybe a 4500-6000 watt surge depending on how it was built in the factory that day.
I bought a 30,000 watt PowerJack modular version for $753.43 on eBay auction....
so 2 of them will do 16000 to 20000 watts on separate breaker boxes on separate LiFePO4 battery banks for about 1600 dollar investment ( a redundant set up)
so if each does 10,000 watts or even 8000 watts i would be fine with that ......
i do not need or want wifi
i only need the inverter to function as an inverter....
don't need the other gizmo monitoring problems... or want to connect to someone to download things to fix a poor design....

30,000 watt PowerJack modular version for $753.43
it is a 48 volt unit SP LF PSW
did not one of the gs 24 volt units u have to be rebuilt within 2 years for some reason???

MY 4 ton heat pump is American Standard and probably the few that is all made in USA in Texas . The compressor is made in Texas and none of the heat pump parts are made in China . The LCD show max surge under 17000 watts . The inverter run the 4 ton heat pump for 8 hours and the house was too cold . The inverter run 9000 watts most of the time and the transformer max temperature was 120 degree F and the fans max throttle was 33 percent . The inverter is in a room at 90 degree F . I hope the LCD reading is correct but the AC voltage reading in the LCD is low . The first day run continuously for 16 hours . The noise from the 4 fans is less than the MSB solar fan noise . This is the only inverter that will accept 66 volt DC 16s lithium-ion battery . I find no other inverter that do battery 68 vDC max input . My other option was to go 96vDC China inverter .
