Hey all, I'm designing a microgrid sized off-grid system for somebody, and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any issues with the following designs... </div>

The client says he needs 70 kW. His load data looks pretty solid, so I'm sticking to using that number as a minimum, at least during the initial proposal stage. I only know of two possible equipment options for this size range...</div>

<li>I think I can use up to 10 Outback Radians, for up to an 80 kW system. Are there any bugs or problems with using this many inverters on one hub? I know I've read about issues with selling to the grid, but that's not an issue, this is off-grid.<br>
<br>
</li><li>I know that the SMA cluster box with sunny islands can allow for up to a 72 kW system. Do you know of any bugs or problems with this system?</li></ol>

Are there any other options that anyone would suggest? Schneider's website says they can only do up to 61 kW, and Victron can only do up to 60 kW.</div>

I know that the Outback system would yield a 240/120 Split-Phase system and that the SMA would yield a 208/120 3Ų system, but this doesn't really matter either way for this job. </div>
