I’d like to clarify the breaker sizing calculation. For a continuous load, we apply the 80% rule. If your continuous current is 100A, you multiply by 1.25 to get a 125A breaker, which ensures we do not exceed 80% of the breaker or wire while supplying a continuous load. Thanks for helping me keep this information accurate!
At 14:00 Kelly says that for a battery rated at 100 amps continuous, you should use an 80 amp breaker, but isn't that backwards? Wouldn't you want a 125 amp breaker for 100 amps continuous? 125x0.8=100.

Hello @CRsolar we are not sure what happened but wanted to respond to your previous comment! We always aim to follow the manufacturer's recommendations. According to their manual (Page 11, Section 3.4), a 10kW system calls for an 80A breaker and 6 AWG wire for the Grid, Load, and Gen connections. signaturesolar.com/content/documents/GROWATT/SPH_10000TL-HU-US_User_Manual_EN_202406.pdf.

Enjoyed the video! Thanks Kelly.
One thing I noticed. The 80% sizing. You should be sizing that breaker up not down.
Thank you Kelly. Very helpful.
can explained sungold power 5000W 48 v, what are the seetings for the inverter for a 48 v lithium battery (100 amp)
Thanks solar Queen so educative
Can this Growatt hybrid be paired with the gridboss?
With AC Coupling, can integrate with any existing Hybrid Inverter or Grid-Tie Solar System that is UL 1741 listed.
Thinking youtube needs private comments so people can help . In a More professional way. Hey youtube can you unblock me?
