Hyrbrid Inverter and generator to run AC?
I’m looking for inputs from those using hybrid inverters, especially in conjunction with generators to run high load devices like the AC. I currently have 600 watts of solar on the roof of my 5er, wit...

The grape blows the SC2030 right out of the water as far as flexibility for charging parameters. The built in blue tooth means that it can be configured using a cell phone.
If you want to stay with 12 volt--fine--but get two grapes rather than the sc2030.
The original premise of the thread was using a hybrid inverter to help start the air conditioner, in conjunction with a generator. Given the 40 amp "surge" limit for the Magnum 3012 inverter/charger, that may not work well. Going to 48 volts would be better.
My Magnum actually caught on fire in the summer of 2016. I do not know why, so I'm feeling skittish about using it in load support mode with the generator to start the roof air.

I'm also not sure I'd like giving up some of the charging adjustment capability the SC2030 gives me. Of course I wouldn't need to add another SC2030 to my setup if I stepped up to 24vdc, and I could add a 24vdc to 12vdc converter, but I'm not sure it would be worth it since 98 percent of the time I'm using my inverter I'm using it to output quite a bit less than 200 watts, and thus not putting much of a demand on my battery system. A 12 volt system seems to handle that well.
