Hi All,
I have a Sol-Ark 12K system with 32kWh of eFlex 5.4 batteries that was installed last September ('22). The Sol-Ark powers the entire house, except for my wife's 10kW electric kiln
The system has been working pretty well, except for a period in January when the batteries discharged below 48V due to "glitches" with the Modbus/RS485 communication between the Sol-Ark and the eFlex's. Changed to CAN bus communication, so hopefully that issue is solved.
Back in May, I started seeing an issue with the two GFCI breakers in my kitchen. One or both will periodically trip for no ( apparent ) reason. These breakers are probably around 8-10 years old and it would be weird if they both went flakey at the same time.
The logical conclusion is that its something to do with the Sol-Ark - but what?. Also interesting that it seems to have started when the PV production is starting to peak, although we have had an unusually cool spring in So. California with clouds from the ocean until noon or longer.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
