@Ampster thank you for taking the time to answer. Yes, that's the easy solution. I have an EV that I plan on charging to load shed above 90%. Nevertheless, I believe there are settings in the Mode Q(U)+Q(P) that should throttle down the GT inverter production without it going offline. I was...
@YellowBuddy I've ac coupled my (2) solaredge 7600 HD wave GT inverters to my (2) sunnyIsland hybrid inverters. They work perfectly. I have California 21 enabled on both solaredges to not over charge the batteries. But once 90% battery charge is achieved, the solaredges cycle offline as the...
Hedges, I wanted to thank you and give you an update. I ran my first full-scale test by disconnecting from the Grid. Everything worked perfectly. My house was being run by my critical loads panel. My PV was charging my battery. My Sunny Islands were providing the Grid to the Grid Tied inverters...
I have installed two switches between each solar edge inverter and the main service panel. The switch reroutes power to/from main service panel to critical loads panel. I can direct one, both or neither solaredge to the main service panel by flipping the switch or conversely switch one or both...
I have ac coupled the Solaredges with the Sunny Islands in a critical loads panel. I still need to change the Solaredge settings to California 21. Unfortunately you need installer rights to have access to those settings, So I'm working on that right now. Once I have California 21 enabled, I'll...
Hedges, in your vast helping of others, thank you again by the way. I have a 2 part question.
Part 1, have you seen if simply activating California rule 21 on the solaredge inverters is enough to activate frequently watt shifting between SE and SI? I found this video, at the end it talks...
I have no need for more GT capacity. My system is 14kWp. Running 2 Solaredge 7600 HD wave GT inverters (plenty of excess capacity) coupled with 2 Sunny Island 6048 Hybrid Inverters. 960 AH 48v battery bank. My Solaredge are both California 21 capable. Because the Solaredge and SI can't...
Looking for advise from anyone currently using solaredge HDwave inverters for Grid tied PV. I have successfully AC coupled 2 sunny islands through the critical loads panel with a manual transfer switch. My last step for battery backup in times of grid failure is to throttle my GT PV when grid is...
Thank you again Hedges. I already wired a 50 amp plug outlet with 6awg wire (3 foot run to bottom of the panel) if I went 70 amp, would 6awg be beefy enough? Additionally my cables and plugs are 6 gauge cables. If passing 56amps I feel 6 gauge would be fine.
I do want to keep the trailer...
The generator in the diagram is the same generator setup that came with the trailer. Currently the generator feeds the two SI through a 6awg 50 amp twist lock cable into the back of the utility box. The SI then charge the battery from the generator. So it appears if I want to use the generator...
Thanks Hedges. So to be clear remove ATS between main panel and critical loads panel and install an interlock breaker that allows only the grid breaker to be on or the Sunny Island to be on, but not both at the same time. This would require a manual switch at the panel in case if grid failure...
Hedges,
I'm getting closer to buying all my parts for this project. I keep getting conflicting advice about schematics. Can you please review this (pdf) and see if I'm nearly there? Page 1 represents the current Grid Tied install while Page 2 represents my proposed AC coupling add on with my...
Hedges: Sorry for ongoing questions. I keep getting different advice from different sources. One source is telling me that if I want to backfeed the grid (net metering) with my current PV setup (solaredge) but also want the power my trailer is generating to add to my netmetering balance, I need...
