Dave,
I missed your reference to OB/Simpliphi offering a "close
the loop" to mean closed loop comm. They are working on it, I'm sure
its a big job.

Bill,
Unless I am mistaken the new Ampliphi 3.8 is still not closed loop
with much other than Solarark. The old line of their batts, well has
now been improved but not there yet until they get closed loop done! IMHO.
Until Outback is capable of closed loop BMS into optics and their
network I am going to stay with Schneider Discover AES and Fortress.
It just is too easy and reliable to me than spend time on open loop
power systems. After you try a closed loop system you ask yourself,
what are setpoints? Why am I 25% faster charging with a genset. Wow
true C1 charging!
I respect your opinion but I was spoiled early on with closed loop.
Have a good week! Bring on the rain!

Dave,
I just went through a thorough installation/programming
regime for an Outback FlexPower2 married to 8, SimpliPhi 3.8's.
Outback and SimpliPhi have spent a great deal of time developing
setpoints for several of OB's products in a 23 detailed page
integration guide.

Something is wrong with your programming of the monitor! Does the
battery make give you parameters to program, they should! This is
not normal with what I have seen. Reading state of charge on a
monitor that does not have a BMS feeding Soc to it, is for
indication only. It is a moveable feast and a PITA! I do not know
why Outback has chosen to not partner with battery companies and
close the loop for LFP like Schneider has? Anyone know why they will
not do this?
Lightning/gensets, and grid power can damage electronics and even
though they may still seem to be working, they are damaged.
Probably best to start logging in case there is something deeper!
Good Luck!
