I finally got my first 4 panels connected to my EG4 6500EX-48 yesterday, it was late in the day when I flipped the breaker, so my input was about 108 watts. I was just pleased to finally have a PV input to the system.
What i did notice right away was that the inverter where the PV was connected was ramping the fans up and down, pretty aggressively, despite the low input from the PV, this continued until PV dropped to 0.
This morning, as I watched the sun come up around 6:45a and monitored the system with SA I am noticing that there's an increase in draw from the grid as the PV starts flowing and I'm wondering if this is normal? I'm not in the room with the inverters, but I suspect that inverter is cranking the fan up and down and that might account for the draw, but hoping someone can weigh in.
Inverter is currently in SUB mode and I was normally seeing about 108w from the grid (assuming both inverters running) when there was no PV.
