<div dir="ltr">My bet is these clients are on a budget given the battery voltage and small inverters. So there probably isn't any PV at the moment. I've been coming across a lot of these types of systems lately. Came across a Generac 120v, 6kw Eco Gen with 3,500 hours on it! Ouch and the clients just won't add PV. Yet they pay a gen service company to come out once a month and service the unit on top of propane cost.<div><br></div><div>Christopher</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sat, Aug 15, 2020 at 12:18 PM Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar <<a href="mailto:offgridsolar@sti.net">offgridsolar@sti.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><p>Ouch ! 2812 inverter.

<p>A home with appliances needs 24v and 4kw, both minimum. </p>
<p>As Kent said, for now you can't do both gen charging and drying clothes. Why do you need a genset this time of year?</p>

<div>Hello All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My curiosity was piqued by a recent customer complaint. I'm hoping someone has bumped up against this issue before.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The customer has a OB FXR2812 and a 3,000W Honda gen. </div>
<div>Her gas clothes dryer runs just fine off the OB inverter.</div>
<div>It runs properly on the Honda gen (when the inverter is bypassed)</div>
<div>It will not run when the gen is on and battery charging is taking place.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All the other AC loads (including the washing machine) run properly during battery charging with the gen.</div>
<div>The OB inverter replaced an old Trace unit. The dryer worked as it should with the Trace during battery charging.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!</div>
