Generator inverter grid connection

There are some limitation to connect the generator to the solar inverter like Off Grid Inverter 5 kw: Compatibility: Not all generators are compatible with solar inverters, so it is important to ensure that the generator you are using is compatible with the inverter.

Correctly configured, a grid-tie inverter allows a home owner to use an alternative power generation system such as solar or wind energy, but without rewiring or batteries. In this situation, a grid-tie inverter, which is actually an AC inverter, allows the solar power generated by the solar panels to convert into useable AC power.

Most people prefer the series connection from on-grid panels because it significantly increases the voltage received by the grid inverter. To do that, you should connect the first panel's positive terminal to the second panel's negative terminal, which connects to the third panel's positive terminal and continues the process.

Make sure the generator is grounded with the inverter ground and that the generator has an NE-bond. However, when you're generator is equipped with a build in earth leakage/RCD you will have to connect the Generator on the GRID port and make use of an automated NE-bonding contactor on the LOAD port.

Improved system efficiency: By integrating the generator with the solar inverter, you can optimize the overall efficiency of your renewable energy system. This helps to ensure that you are maximizing the use of available energy sources and minimizing waste.

When connecting the generator to the GRID port please ensure the CT is positioned to pick up live wire of the generator to avoid export to the generator. The latest firmware does give a Gen on grid option on the Sunsynk Connect platform. This will make the "generator signal " stay close when AC power is detected on the "grid port".
