In parallel stacking, two or more inverters are stacked to create a single, common 120 Vac bus.
 All inverters share a common input (AC source) and run loads on a common output.
 Up to ten inverters may be installed in a parallel arrangement. The example on this page shows three
inverters. The wiring diagram on the next page shows four.
