Thanks. My grid inputs (AC in on the inverters) are already connected to my grid. See the diagram below. Do I have to disconnect them, then connect the grid inputs to my AC output from the truck?

If it works for you, run with it, no two systems are going to be completely alike, mine is set up as an off grid system, I can use both the grid input or the gen input as the power source.

Here is another solution that may be easier. I can connect the chargeverter DC output (5 kW) to the busbars. See the diagram below. I think this is safe. I am wondering how I can control the system. And how much power goes to the grid and how much power will charge the 48v batteries? The chargeverter can connect to the batteries through RS485, but I am not sure whether the batteries can communicate with both the inverters and the chargeverter. Does anyone have experience with this setup?
