Hi,
I have been looking to purchase a power bank with Victron inverter/charger or other make from a UK supplier. One of the criteria for buying such a system is that I can be guaranteed that it can be charged from an inverter generator. First of all, the inverter generator is surely recommended at it gives a pure sine-wave but having an inverter genset that it minimum 1.5 time of a ~5KW Inverter/charger would be a 7.5 KW generator which would be really expensive especially if you want a good quality and silent.
So, I got two options, stay with a ~3KW inverter generator and run as needed and forget about the power wall or can someone confirm that the inverter/charger is compatible. For all models it says you can set the Amps for charging yet the supplier in the UK says it will NOT work with a smaller gen-set. So you can charge the batteries with less than 1 kw from a cloudy day with solar panels but you cannot charge with ~3Kw from a genset. Really! It even says same in the Victron manual. Why?
2nd question, how would I ensure the house load power will not be limited (by-pass) even if the inverter charger is limited to 5KW?
Thanks
Alex
