Wrenches,
It's Christmas time again in Southern California Edison (SCE) territory
which means low insolation and high regional electric consumption. Every
night SCE voltage drops to around 105 VAC or lower. Our grid-tie SW4048
inverter sees SCE's low voltage as a brownout and switches to autonomous
mode which is normal. However, we have only 4 kWh of battery storage so the
combination of nightly brownouts and a series of cloudy days eventually
depletes our battery bank causing the inverter to do a low-voltage shut down
which is normal. Power goes off in our home and we have to switch over to
SCE power, reset the inverter, and wait until the battery bank is recharged.
How do we set the SW4048 to accept as low as 100 VAC from the grid before
switching to autonomous mode?
