Parallel Stacking (Dual-Stack and Larger)
In parallel stacking, two or more inverters are stacked to create a single, common 230 Vac output.
¾ The master provides the primary output. The slaves are connected to the same output and assist the master.
¾ The slave inverters can be programmed to activate on demand, reducing idle-power consumption. They will
remain off until the loads exceed a certain threshold.
¾ A two-inverter system can continuously power 2.6 to 2.8 kVA of loads, depending on the inverter model.
¾ Up to ten inverters may be installed in a parallel arrangement. The example on this page shows
three inverters.

Three-Phase Stacking
In three-phase stacking, three inverters are stacked to create three separate 230 Vac output legs.
These outputs are 120° out of phase. Any two outputs produce 400 Vac between them. The three
outputs can be used to power three-phase loads when all inverters work together.
¾ A three-phase system can continuously power 3.9 kVA to 4.2 kVA of loads, depending on the inverter model.
¾ Only three inverters, one per phase, may be installed in a three-phase arrangement.
