<p>The CSW is for a small cabin. Anyone living offgrid with normal loads should use an XW and they will not have to deal with any of this. It has been that way since 2006.</p>

<div dir="auto">Some time back, (years) l did a off grid system for a customer that was building his home, he was milli g lumber from the home site, l quoted a Outback PS-4 3648, the customer already had a very large battery bank 2000 amp hrs. at 48 DC nominal. Anyway he had a well on a 5 hp. freq drive and a very big tall 6" bandsaw, trace/Schneider said no way could there stack do the job and it was larger. Outback on the other had said no problem and for years after that PS-4 ran the well, the saws and now the finished home. It is interesting that Schneider was not willing to do what Outback could, they must have something in there root programming preventing the stacked surge. Some like Chevrolet, some like Ford, l have done rows of Radians and lm sure some out there have the same with other manufacturers. It's all good data for all of us.</div>

<p>Hi Jeff,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am not going to guess if this will work, it should. I use XW's because they start anything I have come across.</p>
<p>If you do this, make sure but SW's have the latest and same firmware. There were problems with stacked SW's early on in their development.</p>
