I’m looking at starting a solar setup in my new home out in the woods and since I had a great experience with the little Victron MPPT 75/15 in my boat I want to use Victron as the heart of my setup.
I have line power in the house, but it’s very dirty. Voltage rises and falls continuously between 210 and 250, and I often get very short brownouts during the day (lights flash, router and computer reboots).
my question is, if I start with a hybrid inverter but only hook it up to batteries and line power (no solar yet), would this protect my home from the line power? In other words, does the inverter simply pass through line power when it is present and there is no solar input (like a “line interactive UPS”) Or does it use the line power as a power source and ‘rebuild’ the power to my house (like a “on line UPS”)?
