I just looked at my Solaredge inverter, and I am concerned that it is not UL 1741-SA compliant. It only says UL - 1741 which I guess means it will not be able to be frequency shifted or controlled by the Solark?
See if a firmware update gives -SA
If not, you may not get permission to install and operate, because -SA is required in most if not all areas.
AC coupling with SolArk, we here it is best to do two things:
1) Connect the GT PV inverters to "generator" input, so SolArk and disconnect them instantly by relay
2) Have DC coupled production > AC coupled, so SolArk can ramp DC up/down, and connect/disconnect AC coupled.
Don't know how well it does frequency shift, utilizing -SA. If that works, DC > AC wattage shouldn't be as important.
Solar Edge we're reading & hearing of reliability issues. Good you got a deal, since you may end up removing it.
Lay out enough parts on the driveway to operate and test the equipment, make sure it is good before installation (including all optimizers.)
The optimizers implement RSD, and inverters of recent years implement arc-fault.
With DC coupled, I suppose SolArk supports both (would require RSD module per panel) but I don't know the details.
SolArk many people are happy with, and some can start some motors (e.g. A/C) but at least one thread here reports not starting some 1.5 HP and 3 HP shop tools, although other model motors do start. (He said his Outback had started them fine.) So consider your needs, and don't believe everything your read in the data sheet.
