Posted February 5, 20223 yr Hi I am thinking of going for a SunSynk 8kw inverter system. Here is my setup, I have a main house and a granny flat. What I wanted to try and do is this. 1) Main house essential loads must run off solar first priority, second off battery(load shedding and at night) and lastly if grid available off grid if solar not enough or batteries flat. 2) Main house non-essential loads must run off solar if available after essential loads, then run off grid if not enough solar (would like an option to maybe change to battery in an emergency) 3) Granny flat first prize would be to run off solar if enough solar, then grid if not enough solar, then this is the catch, if load shedding I would like to only run lights and maybe some plugs. Problem with last part is the granny flat is fed off from the main DB with a 63 amp breaker to its own DB after a prepaid meter. How would the granny flat be "connected" to the inverter as a non essential load, then how would I run the granny flat off batteries without running the house non essentials on batteries. Would it be possible to us the AUX port for something like this.
February 5, 20232 yr I have a similar situation - and yes, if you connected the granny flat essential load to the Aux port - i believe that should work. I'm pondering doing the same. If the granny flat is connected to the main house DB on the non-essential side, then by default it will be powered by the solar 1st then grid 2nd; becuase that is how you will setup your main DB for the house.
