[. . . ] As long as the renewable energy exceeds the voltage for that stage, it can sell exactly the same way as noted above. When power is returned to the utility grid, it is possible to completely reverse the utility meter. Loads on the main panel (not on the inverter's output) may consume this power as fast as it is generated, preventing the meter from running backwards. In this case, the result of selling would be to reduce the consumption of AC power, not reverse it. The maximum amount of power an inverter can sell is not equal to its specified output wattage. It can exceed the specified wattage under some conditions, usually temporarily. (Its maximum output is 30 amps. ) However, output will vary inversely with inverter temperature, battery type, and other conditions. The inverter should not be expected to sell 100% of its specified output wattage continuously. Even though it may be able to do so, this may leave it too hot to perform other functions (such as starting heavy loads if they are needed during a utility outage). A good guideline is that the renewable source should be sized to continuously deliver no more than 85% of the inverter's specified wattage (per inverter, in a multi-inverter system). This recommendation is specifically for the inverter's Sell feature. In some cases, the source may be sized larger to account for environmental conditions or the presence of DC loads. This depends on individual site requirements. 900-0112-01-00 Rev A 23 Operation Multiple-Inverter Installations (Stacking) Multiple inverters in a single system can support larger loads than a single inverter can handle. Installing inverters in this configuration is called "stacking". Stacking inverters does not refer to physically placing one on top of another. It refers to how they are wired within the system and then programmed to coordinate activity. Each inverter is programmed to power an individual phase of the system and to operate at certain times. This order is assigned using a system display, such as the OutBack MATE. Examples of stacking configurations include "parallel" and "three-phase" configurations. Stacking requires an OutBack HUB product, as well as a system display. (See the International Series GFX Installation Manual for more stacking instructions. ) Each inverter needs to be assigned a status -- "master" or "slave". Slave inverters provide assistance when the loads are more than the master can handle alone.
