Hey Allan,

SMA is about to release a 6 KW version of the 5 KW SI if that figures in your considerations at all. And of course the advantage of the SI is you can feed power into the micro-grid anywhere along the backbone without AC coupling relays in true off-grid mode. But to stack 6 you'd need a Multi-cluster box I do believe. It does get expensive.

Have a good weekend!

Wrenches,
We have been asked for a design for an off-grid system to reduce generator runtime for a mountain resort. Initial projections (consumption measurement results not yet available) suggest 15-20 kW of PV and around 30 kW of inverter capacity. However, the generators and existing wiring are three-phase 120/208.

My assumption is that our only options are a set of six Sunny Islands, or 9-12 Outback GVFX3648s. Are there any other options or approaches that I'm missing?

Thank you, Allan
