If you want to do 2.5 kW then you would want about 5kW of inverter. Either two outbacks, or two Magnum 4024 PAE</DIV>

<DIV>BTW other wrenches have said this is a violation of Enphase warrentee. </DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Has anyone set up an Enphase inverter system to provide battery charging? E.G. the Enphase output fed into the AC-In on an Outback or Magnum? Have a customer with a 2.5kw system that wants to enable his system in the event of a prolonged grid outage. I understand the Enphase needs a grid signal to operate so is there a way to achieve that or is that like perpetual motion ;)</DIV><BR><BR>
