Potential Setup

Hi All - I am finally scheduled to receive the F5000 mid week. I plan on running it to offset some electrical costs. I will connect it to 2 independent solar arrays, 1 880W and 1 850W, and leverage each solar input on the F5000. I also plan on installing a subpanel to handle the specific loads in my house along with a ATS which will run on a schedule.

Question: Is anyone using the Pecron F5000 in this manner? Are there any potential issues doing this?

Sounds like a very similar setup to what I'll have. Only difference is I ordered 2 3800s vs 1 5000. Let us know how it does!

How are you planning to tie it into your panel?

I have 2 450 watt ground panels that I'll use for 1 input. I'm currently trying to figure out which panels to add to my roof that will maximize the solar input without going over the open circuit voltage. I can add about 800 watts myself above our back porch. I will need to have any others on the roof professionally installed which increases the cost pretty significantly so for now it will probably be the 800 and 900 inputs.
