January 19, 20233 yr I'm busy with my sunsynk 8kw install. My battery will still be a while but I can install panels so long. I'm going to wire my whole house to the load/ups output of the inverter. My question is will the inverter still use PV Watts while the grid is on if I use the load output with no battery?
January 19, 20233 yr Yes, this is how many of the guys in the UK use the inverter. It will blend solar and grid nicely. The inverter will use as much solar as it can and then add grid power only when necessary. During loadshedding, the inverter will pull from solar only - but be careful because if there is no buffer (battery or grid) then you might find the inverter tripping if the load exceeds the available solar.

Really? It will run on PV with no battery?
January 19, 20233 yr Yes, but as I mentioned, when there is LS, you run the risk of the system shutting down abruptly which is not great. See THIS video.

Maybe it's better to just wire it into the grid port and not the load port. I don't want PV alone to try run things. So when there is LS then nothing runs
