[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 539518, member: 35153"] I have no knowledge of Solax inverters and batteries. An AC coupled battery is totally divorced from your existing solar/inverter/battery setup and effectively is just plugged in to the mains (it's wired into a consumer unit via a suitable MCB). The inverter has a CT clamp on the meter tails just like your existing one. The inverter can be set to charge during off peak supply and it will charge when surplus PV is available. When it sees import from the grid either because your existing inverter doesn't have enough capacity or if the batteries are depleted it will ramp up it's output to feed the load. I have just installed such a system using a Victron Multiplus II inverter and it works with no issues with the existing Growatt inverter. These things have to be able to work co-operatively, if they didnt, a neighbour with a storage system would conflict with your system. [/QUOTE]
