I mean, am I really over thinking this, I cant actually remember the last time we had a power cut !! I just like to look at every option before design. If I were to put a ADS on the incoming mains is there any way of getting the inverter to believe there is power there? Is it possible to use the APS which the inverter will switch to in a power cut and connecting it back to the inverter?? I am looking at the Growatt SPH5000, thoughts on that too. Many thanks

Is there no way around this?

OK, I get that, but that would mean you only have limited power, say to a power socket, if you want the whole house to work you have to disconnect the incoming main with an ATS or a manual one.

thanks for the reply. Yes a grid tied but a hybrid with battery backup will continue to produce power and if the incoming mains is not disconnected power could go back through the grid.

hi New here to the forum.. I am looking for a way to automatically isolate the mains if I have a power cut so that the hybrid inverter doesn't leak back into the grid. Is it a simple as a 100amp relay on the incoming mains?
