Hybrid MEP-831A - Thoughts/Opinions

[kwartk]

Fellow Steelers,
Greetings; and as usual let me start by saying thank you for any advice , suggestions or comments... I have the chance of getting hold of a "Hybrid" MEP-831A.. its has connectors for hooking up to a Lithium Iron battery backup unit and according to the literature I could find on the manufactures site (ZeroBase Energy) the THG hybrid system/unit can extend capacity of MEP-831A to an additional 3.5KW and the battery(THG) component can be charged with solar panels??...

Has anyone used or come across this configuration?, if so any thoughts/opinions?

Thanks!..

That first part is intriguing... does it have its own inverter, then? Not sure I'd call it an "additional" 3.5kw, assuming you're talking the mention of 6.8kw "surge" capacity... but owning both an 831 & a well pump, I'm interested by any surge capacity.

If it does have its own inverter (that sounds like it'd be more capable than the 831's) and is basically just using the 831 as a charger, that could be more intriguing. Something something piles of 831s with dead/no inverters...
