I've already contacted Sol-Ark. They are updating the firmware. I took some battery readings, and shared the info with them.
My low battery alarm is set to 47.5v
ShutDown voltage set to 46.0v
Restart set to 52.0v
moments before the shutdown, I just happened to look at my PV Pro app, and all was fine.Battery was at 80% and charging. showed 50.9 volts.
I just so happened to be on the phone with my wife when it went down. mid conversation, she says "ummm... the solar just went off". I checked PV Pro. no alarms logged, but there was a voltage drop, but only to 48.4v well above any alarm or shutoff point. still no alarms or faults logged in PV Pro. I drove home to check things in person, and further discuss with Sol-Ark. by the time I arrived, it showed 8% battery, at 52.6V. well above the restart setting of 52.0v. Still no faults logged, even when looking in the actual Sol-Ark menu on the controller.
I checked each battery in my bank. average voltage was 13.18 per battery. checked combined voltage 50.6v
Strange. I'm sure it will get resolved, but it is concerning while I sit here with no power to my freezers, refrigerators, and half of the house.
