Technical FAQs 4

How to connect a battery to an inverter?

Power Cables: Use appropriately sized power cables to connect the battery to the inverter. The cable size should be chosen based on the current rating of the system to minimize power loss and avoid overheating. Communication Cables: For communication, use the cables specified by the manufacturers.

How does a battery-inverter system work?

In a power system with closed-loop communication, the inverter, solar charge controllers, and other components do not control the battery. Instead, the battery informs the decisions made by everything else in the system. The performance of any battery-inverter combination depends on how effectively the battery can fulfill this role.

Are budget battery companies compatible with inverters?

Most budget battery companies don’t have support from the inverter companies they claim compatibility with. Rather, they reverse-engineer communication protocols established by officially supported brands or simply buy and incorporate their BMS boards.

What makes a good battery-inverter combination?

The performance of any battery-inverter combination depends on how effectively the battery can fulfill this role. For the battery to receive what it needs and for the system to operate at peak performance, these control messages must be accurate and well-understood by the rest of the system. As you will see, this is not always a given.
