FAQs
- How do I connect the Walrus to my home?
EVO-WLRS-1223-96N Connect the NEMA 14-50R AC output to your home’s sub-panel to supply backup power. Use the SS2-50P AC input to charge the unit from the grid (main panel). For solar or DC charging, use the two 175A Anderson plugs. You can also power devices directly using the built-in GFCI outlets or NEMA L14-30 port. - Can I connect the Walrus output back to the grid?
No. The Walrus is not designed to feed power back into the grid. - Can I connect the Walrus to my existing solar grid-tied system?
No. Walrus can’t work with a grid-tied solar system. Only an off-grid solar system. - Can I use a generator to charge the Walrus?
Yes. The Walrus can be charged using a 240V generator through its AC input port (SS2-50P).
