Hey everyone! I'm gearing up to set up a solar power system using a Sunsynk SYNK-16K-SG01LP1 inverter with 20.6 kW of panels on my roof and two 10 kW batteries. My system is pretty oversized for my household needs, and I want to tap into the excess power for cryptocurrency mining. Here's the plan: my home is connected to the grid with a 4.7 kW single-phase connection. I'm planning to configure the inverter to limit the energy feedback to my home to 4.7 kW, ideally leaving me with around 11.3 kW of surplus power... that I hope to use to run three Antminer S19k Pro units, which each consume about 3,000 W. I'm looking to utilize the generator port on the Sunsynk, ensuring it remains separate from my home's electrical system to avoid overloads. To make my setup more efficient, I'm considering using Home Assistant to intelligently control when each miner receives power based on the surplus PV input. Has anyone done something similar and have advice on how to set this up smartly and safely? Thanks!

It sounds like you have a solid plan in place! Just to clarify, it’s crucial that the Sunsynk inverter can properly handle what you’re trying to accomplish. Since it's a single inverter, the load and grid tie ports are connected, which might complicate things when the grid is up. Be sure that you can configure your system so that it won’t backfeed into the grid while still prioritizing your home load limit.
Thanks for sharing that info! I appreciate it. I’m going to contact Sunsynk support to confirm how the inverter can manage surplus without any grid export, especially since I’ve set it to 0 W output. I want to make sure everything aligns as planned!
