Do solar inverters support 240V loads?

In a DC system the inverter/charger will do all the work on supplying the 240V loads. The grid-feed inverters will support the AC Loads. Very large systems will typically have large loads. AC solar inverters can support these daytime loads and increase the sustained and total kW power that the system can supply.
