Hi, can we use H-xxx-E models as AC storage inverters to store excess energy from other inverters?
With best regards
Harry
Can hybrids be used as AC inverters?

Yes they can be run like that, but with no PV attached.
It's just a more expensive option as they contain a lot of electronics that is used to operate the solar MPPT which obviously won't get used (but would allow future upgrade)

Can you advise how to set this up? I have a H1 3.7 and no PV at the moment. The inverter just says waiting and it feels like its looking for PV. I can't see any settings on inverter to tell it there is no PV.
I was advised from a large UK supplier that I could use this inverter as AC coupled to begin with before adding panels.

If you don’t have PV attached you must be attached to the grid and have a working battery stack, it won’t start up without that.
If it’s saying waiting it’s most likely you haven’t got the BMS/ batteries connected up - as long as it has viable DC power being provided by the batteries and the grid is detected it will start up without needing any PV connections
