I'm putting together a solar energy system using 32 solar panels (370w each) with P401 SolarEdge optimizers and two LG Resu Prime 16H batteries for storage. Since Alabama Power doesn't offer a good rate for selling excess energy back to the grid, I'd like to maximize my solar savings, using primarily the energy I generate and only buying power from the utility during peak times. Can anyone recommend which Solar Edge inverter I should purchase, and what other equipment I might need to monitor energy usage and ensure battery backup during outages or at night?

Given 32 panels at 370 watts, that's about 11,840 watts total. A 10,000 watt inverter would be a good match! Just remember that the 7600 model might be a bit underpowered for your needs. If you're planning for HVAC during outages, the 10,000 version is the way to go!
I'd recommend going for the SolarEdge Home Hub SE10000H-US along with a backup interface to ensure you have power during outages. This setup should fit well with your system!
Thank you. Let the search begin!
You could also consider an inverter in the 6000-10000 watt range to be safe!
Was contemplating the 7600 or 10000 version. I want my HVAC to operate during a power outage, so I’ll stick with the 10000!
