    500 Watt x 48v Panel Inverter Required

    500 Watt x 48v Panel Inverter Required

    Hi All Does anyone know of a G98 compliant inverter I can use to attach to a 550 watt panel The problems I have is the startup voltage. I was thinking of a micro inverter but these arent compliant, and the small Solis S5 type inverters have a startup voltage of 60v Any Ideas ?

    emlite eca2 generation meter

    Wouldnt this be situated between the inverter and the board to just show how much the inverter is sending out ? Im trying to think how it would know what you are generating if you are using it rather than exporting it ?
