My interpretation of the GivEnergy wiring schematics for battery backup on mains failure with an AC coupled battery inverter, is that none of the four arrangements allow for PV (solar cell) output when on battery backup. Is this correct, and if so is there a feasible arrangement to use the PV inverter output during mains failure?
I know of a number of constraints, such as preventing the PV inverter output from feeding back into the grid during mains failure. As I understand it, for this reason my (all?) PV inverters auto shutdown if they don't see a grid voltage. So the PV inverter output would need to be switched to where it could 'see' a (pseudo) 'grid' voltage, and be isolated from the 'real' grid. That could be done by a changeover switch system that moved the PV inverter output to downstream of the battery inverter EPS output - but then the PV output wouldn't be able to charge the battery system. And something would need to be done with the PV inverter current clamp.
