Hello,
I have been on quite an adventure with my new Victron setup. I purchased two Quattro 3000VA 48V inverters, the battery shunt, Cerbo, and two MPPTs—all from Victron. I have configured this as a 240V split-phase system. Initially, I purchased a Victron Energy Meter VM-3p75ct, only to realize it wouldn't fit the American grid-in cables. This was disappointing. I then purchased a Carlo Gavazzi EM 530, which works perfectly with the American grid wires. Now, I can monitor all the energy being pulled into my house, including the AC loads connected to the AC-Out of my setup. My solar system is performing well and feeding into my setup.
However, this is where the problem lies. I want to keep back-feeding power from my solar system to my main breaker box to help with loads, but I don't want to feed power back to the grid. I do not have an interconnection agreement with the power companies and don't want to send power back to them. I have searched extensively online and found others facing the same issue, but no solutions.
I am wondering if anyone has a solution or can suggest a method with the above setup to achieve the desired effect I am looking for. I am trying to avoid having to install a separate breaker panel for just the critical loads.
Thank you
