[QUOTE="Electron Farmer, post: 418285, member: 27711"] Hi guys, I'm planning on becoming less dependent on the grid system. The plan is to island my supply between an SMA Sunny Island and a grid-tied inverter from my PV generator. The question I have is do I need to buy an SME Grid Tie Inverter or will any Grid Tie Inverter work with my Sunny Island? I have a 6KW ABB Aurora which I would like to use with the Sunny Island although I fear this may not be possible. I'm planning to fit this myself (qualified sparks) and don't think I need to speak to the DNO as I do not intend to export anything back onto the grid. At both ends I have battery banks and have an excess of solar for my needs (6kw). I'm using E7 to charge up my batteries when there is not enough sunshine (timer/contactor for E7 period). I also have a large-ish (5KW) UPS which supplies electronics during the day time with the energy I have stored from the E7 rate but this would be going when the SB Island is up and running. I have downloaded their material but cannot find any reference to which GTI's are suitable for the Island. Thank you in advance :) [/QUOTE]
