Solar Panel Inverters

Evelyn Said:

can you combine 2 AC outputs off 2 solar inverters together and send them to panel on one pair of wires?

We Answered:

Yes you can. Please note that there is no positive and negative onthe AC side, they are HOT and NEUTRAL.

Connect hot to hot and neutral to neutral. The current will add and teh voltage will be the same. Use 14 gauge wire if the total current is 15 A or less, use 12 gauge up to 20 A and 10 gauge up to 30A. Use a breaker appropriate to the current load.

Make sure that your inverters are designed for connecting to live power.

Carlos Said:

If a 4 kilowatts inverter needs 80 watts of electericity to convert, can i use only an 80 watts solar panel ?

We Answered:

A 80 Watts solar panel, assuming 100% efficiency, can provide max 80 Watts. That's good enough for one light bulb.
I am sure you need more power than that...

Total Power In = Total Power out + Losses
