but the inputs are in the 12 volt range. this is why i was thinkign of going this route. if I can produce a steady 200 watts 24/7. I could allmost cover my monthly usage. and this inverter is stackable. So i could go 2X200 Wattes and sell power back to the grid.
I'm still not sure how much power my site can produce yet. move in on oct 10th. so next summer is my plan. but I'm trying to envision some sort of way of doing this. Thanx Darren [ Parent ]
If you're using a backfeed inverter designed for the purpose it will also keep the battery voltage at the right level and use the line as a dump load. (If you're using one intended for solar it wont, so batteries might not be what you want in that case. But trying to use a solar panel backfeed inverter with a water genny is problematic other ways.)[ Parent ]
A capacitor will act as an energy store but in this case would be almost impractical. you would still need a charge controller to clamp the voltage and it seems a crazy approach. If you want grid tie without batteries then there are a choice of suitable inverters that can accept the voltage range of small hydro.
