As long as the PV is going DC through a charge controller direct to the
batteries, there's no reason you can't have 2 separate inverters on the
same battery. I've done that before. Just be careful with grounding
and bonding. I've done a fair share of aide work over the years,
including Tanzania, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and Morocco. Drop me a line if
you need any help.

Hi all,
I'm volunteering to help a project in West Africa (Mali) for a Hospital.
If any of you would be willing to share some advice, or bounce ideas
off of each other, please let me know and I will reach out to you in a
direct email.
This project is tricky, as it is also supported by a US organization,
so the idea is that we could direct the PV directly to a battery bank,
then invert to both 220/380, 50 HZ, 3 Phase on one inverter and
120/240, 60Hz, Split Phase on a second inverter.
Total kW load for the building is 45kW.
I'm going to have quite a few questions, but today's question
is....are there any inverter brands that could share a battery bank
(assumed as 48V, unless a better suggestion is out there).
OR, am I better off to have independent completely independent systems?
-Travis
