I am working with an licensed electrician but might need to find one with more experience. I understand electronics extremely well but again, am using a licensed electrician.
Our house has 10 solar panels. A small inverter is mounted beneath each panel. All ten inverters are wired together, through a solar panel breaker with production meter, then into the main breaker.
We are changing the breaker panel for a larger one.
The question:
Where can we find information about how the solar panels should be wired to add a battery system?
Additional notes: This will mean some type of switch to isolate our house from the grid when the grid goes down.
Thinking of that switch, It does not look like there is a switch now to isolate our power from the grid when the grid is down. I "presume" that if the grid is not providing the 60 Hz power in then the inverters automatically turn off. Is that correct.
At some time in the future I will add a wind generator to the mix, and eventually shift to an electric car.
