Robust 10kW Solar Setup with Batteries for a High-Demand Home in the U.S.

George Neal, from the United States, has installed a solar system featuring the POW-SunSmart 10K, connected to 6kW of solar power and 25.6kWh of LiFePO4 battery storage. The system efficiently powers his home, including energy-intensive appliances like a heat pump AC, heat pump water heater, microwave, and heat pump dryer, with one exception: when operating in SBU mode, the inverter does not automatically switch back to solar/battery power after using utility power unless the utility breaker is momentarily switched off. Despite this issue, the system has proven reliable, replacing a pair of smaller Growatt 3K inverters that could not meet his household's energy demands.
