A potential client purchased a somewhat complete system off the internet and is now seeking an installer. I know, same old story. The package came with two Growatt SPF-5000 ES inverters with two Huawei HW-TX-5000 transformers.
The twist to the story is apparently the inverters put out 230vac on a single leg and the transformers are required to split the 240vac into two legs of 120. I've never come across an inverter like this. As an off gridder the first thing I think of is the inefficiencies of the additional transformers to do something like this when we have plenty of manufacturers that don't require this. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this setup and possible experiences and pitfalls to beware of.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">PS the client is kicking themselves in the butt, lol.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Gratefully,</div><div class="">Christopher-- <div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><p style="text-align:center" class=""><span style="font-size:10pt;color:rgb(31,73,125)" class=""><font face="Arial, sans-serif" class="">Chris Schaefer\u2019s<br class=""></font></span><a href="http://www.solarandwindfx.com/" style="font-size:12.8px" target="_blank" class=""><img src="http://www.solarandwindfx.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Solar-Wind-FX-Logo.png" width="200" height="40" style="color:rgb(31,73,125);font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:10pt" class=""></a><br class=""><i class=""><span style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)" class=""><span style="font-size:9pt" class="">Tel/Fax
