We have split our essentials and non essentials to mitigate the possibility of the unit tripping during load shedding. The problem I have is that with Eskom power on, the system can sometimes trip as we are using many appliances etc. Is there an easy way of bypassing the inverter when the grid is on and still benefit from the inverters solar power during the day. 

Hope my question makes sense

 

Which model do you have?

Goodwe GW10K-ET

Install a LCR (load control relay) on the geyser circuit.

Are the heavy duty appliances on the essential side?

The 10kW possible power is split scross the 3 phases but a max of e.g 6kW on any one phase.  You need to find out what the max load on a single phase can be. On the sunsync 12kW inverter it's 6kW on a single phase, so the goodwe might be the same ratio i.e  5kW, which may be why it's tripping. Not very helpfull but a good starting point.

I have a 5kW goodwe, it's essential output is 4600W, that's my kettle + mwave, add anything else snd it trips. 

Try your kettle, mwave and 1000w appliance together that should trip if your max per phase is 5kW.
