Question:

I know from past research that most gens and alternators require some load on them when you crank them up. So, I have this ‘really’ nice Inverter and a solar panel/batts… do I blow my fancy $5K inverter if I connect the batts/panels without a load and what happens if the load is removed before the inverter gets shut down?Solar Panel Inverter efficiency  I just don’t want to destroy a lot of nice (expensive) equipment… ya know?!Solar Panel Inverter efficiency  I appreciate ANY assistance in this.Solar Panel Inverter efficiency

News to me.   Generators can run all day without load and in many hot standby situations (hospitals, etc.) they do just that. A CHEAP inverter may require a load to dampen the in-stabilities they couldn’t design out given the costs.Solar Panel Inverter efficiency  I know from past research that most gens and alternators require some load on them when you crank them up.

Only thing I can think of is the cylinders glazing up on the gen set run all day. Inverters should be designed to cope with anything you mentioned below, cheapies may have problems….

If I understand your posting correctly, There are two parts to your system.  Before the inverter and after. Before would include the PV, The Regulator and the batteries. After would include the DC to AC transformer and the Inverter…Correct? If this is true.  Then a load is not required on the After side of the inverter.Solar Panel Inverter efficiency   I recommend that you think of the circuit as two parts. Like I said.  If I understood it correctly. Cheers – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I know from past research that most gens and alternators require some load on them when you crank them up.
