2019 New Aire Solar

I'm just getting into what I need to add solar to my New Aire. Can I use my 3000 Watt True Sine Inverter that came with the coach?
I've been reading where people are going to a hybrid inverter and was wondering if this is necessary or can I use the 3000 Watt True Sine Inverter it came with?

Yes! The solar system controller sends it's power to the coach battery bank which dampens the volt and amp variations from clouds, fog, etc. The inverter connected to the battery bank benefits from this versus solar power directly to the inverter without a battery bank.

Your sources for "hybrid" use would be a blend of AC power supplemented by the inverter. This helps when plugged into a limited amperage shore power or small genset.

Having a New Aire...I would be careful changing items that are already setup in My Rosie, etc... bucket...worms...open...

The Solar... Panels > solar controller > batteries...behave like adding another battery charger to your existing system...so it's easy to do. It really doesn't mess any of your existing systems up at all. No need to change Inverters.
