I would suggest since they are using micro inverters in each battery to run separate wires to the control panel (breaker panel). I say this because max surge is 15kw on a single leg which is 125 amps and that requires a much much larger wire 0-1 gauge per leg.

If there's not Microinverter inside the batteries, when a battery broken, it will not have any effect to others which in parallel. So I still do not know what's the necessary to equip a microinverter inside it.

Great promotion video. Enphase is a great system, however there are also drawbacks, every vendor has its pro and contra. For Enphase the negative points are: - Cloud only - the owner has no monitoring tools without an active Internet connection - Local access for managing systems, e.g:. Home Assistant, require a token authentication which expires after 12 month, if Enphase cloud solutions are not available to renew the token, there is no local home automation possible anymore. - Installers cannot handle all support cases on their own, often they must call Enphase directly for help to investigate into problems, e.g. with Batteries, with Envoy. I have seen many cases where the installer cannot re-activate the system. - Problems with disconnected batteries which die going low discharge, the DC switch must be turned off in this case to avoid battery damages. (at least for 3T and 10T batteries) I hope that some problems may be accessed via software updates. Anyways at the end of the day it is a very fine system. PS: Some pro Enphase points - no single point of failure for the inverters (the system continues always with the remaining inverters if one fail). - If one batterie fails/disconnects, the other batteries continue to work - Micro-inverter benefits that the Solar module has no high voltage (500-1000V like String inverter) at the panel, non isolated from ground. With the micro inverter the panel has about 40V only, and is isolated. Warm regards from Germany.

Because reliable installers will typically only install the most reliable parts and systems. So when pairing batteries with solar energy the input from the company you expect to maintain the system it should matter what they think.

CURRENT BATTERIES are a rip off. The average home will need $25,000 - $40,000 worth of batteries and they only last about 10 years before you have to replace them. You will never get your investment back. No matter what they tell you under the new NEM 3.0. Based on the video and the # of solar panels and batteries. This system cost around $75,000. You notice they never mention the price.

you gotta run the calculations for yourself, don't just assume with salesmen. that battery price does sound high. General solar panels ~should allow for a profit, albeit it may take 10yrs or so to get back the initial cost. If batteries are that expensive, then yeah you prob would lose money
@LifeLongLearner-om8jx 10 ай бұрын
What you just said makes no sense whatsoever. Batteries don’t last for only 10 years, they just degrade to about 70-80% of their original capacity after 10 years (that’s in the warranty). Also, why would you buy all of those at once? Just buy what you need to maximize self consumption under NEM 3.0. Then add to the system later on (they’re expandable) as prices decrease in coming years. A 5 kWh x 5 batteries is 25 kWh of storage, that’s about $15k-$25k. That’s before the 30% tax credit. Also, people aren’t typically adding batteries for savings, they’re doing it for peace of mind, and to offset selling to the grid at a severely discounted rate under NEM 3.0.

The combined output power capacity of 5, 5P batteries is just shy of 20kWatt of continuous, sustained output. This is 2.5 times the peak sustained power draw of my SoCal home in the summer. In contrast, the 25 kWatt-hours of total capacity for all 5 can supply less than half of my daily summer solar generation and less than half of my peak daily demand this past summer. Once your 5P battery configuration exceeds your peak sustained demand, buying more batteries means you are buying battery micro-inverters you don’t need. What you need is more stored energy to cover your needs, not more sustained micro-inverter k-Watt capacity. What we need is a modular battery that supplements storage that doesn’t force us to buy unneeded micro-inverters or 5P batteries that can be configured with 2, 4 or 6 micro-inverters.

I had an Enphase system, 11 395 Panels with IQ-8 MicroInverters installed in May 2023. That system also included a System II Controller but it has not yet been installed. I am looking to add batteries. I installed a soft start kit on my 3.5-ton AC, that took the full amp load from 114 amps to 29 amps. My goal is to eventually go off-grid. However, I do not see how I can power my whole house in either a grid-down or off-grid scenario as I have been told I can only have 4 120-volt circuits in my subpanel with the System II Controller. My question is, is it possible with enough solar panels and battery backup to power my whole house? I realize I also need a generator to cover when the sun does not shine. Ideally, I would like the generator to only charge the batteries, not run the house. Is this possible? Thank you
