Is there a document available on how this world?

Hi all, I just got a correction from Darren - global charge control is in
the Mate3, and therefore works with any FM or MX controller that has the GT
mode. It uses the current sense from the FN-DC and the GT mode signal to
control the output of the controllers.
Sorry for any confusion

Phil,
Good explanation of the feature. When did GCC make it into the firmware,
and can the older ones be updated? It sounds like a perfect solution for
some of my installations.

Garrison,
If you're doing a small commercial grid-tie system, your inverter GEC
requirements are determined not by the service size but by your
inverter. To illustrate, if you were installing a single Enphase,
running an unspliced #3/0 copper wire from your pipe up to your inverter
would be o
Mystery solved. Morningstar vindicated.
I had one of the guys go down on this so this is as I understand it. One of the
2 solar panels was mis wired into the 12VDC lighting circuit. This panel was
finding its way straight to the batteries through the load side of the charge
controller. Appare
Wrenches,
I have GEC sizing issue and would greatly appreciate any advice you can
share.
We have a small commercial grid-tie system installing on a facility with a
4000A, 240V, 3Ph service that uses the water main as the Ground Electrode.
My engineer is referencing NEC Table 250.66 (and the
Phil,
Thanks for the very thorough explanation of the Global Charge Control. That
setup would certainly provide the level of control that I was getting at.
I can see how the FN-DC could do that since it utilizes multiple shunts and can
therefore use discrete amperage readings to provide better

Phil is right that UL 2703 isn't finalized yet so it's not actually a
requirement. However, I imagine that module installation manuals and UL
1703 will both refer to 2703 soon,
Thanks, Phil.
I just went to that website and do not know exactly what report you're
referring to.
Could you please provide the link?

Could the site use any refrigeration? There is a family of fridges called
"ice lined" and these store energy in the form of ice, avoiding the need
for a battery. Some are made for solar direct drive operation, but at lower
voltages (12-24 vdc nominal). They have reasonably long "autonomy" times at
Thank you Phil,
That is the solution. Your wealth of knowledge has proven itself again.

PV installations are governed by the NEC as electrical systems, the
mounting system is not electrical and would not be required to be UL listed.

I did a similar system for a client, in a place where grid connections were
not very legal. We powered s sub-panel but the power exported was used in
the rest of the house.
If you use 4 x 250Ah batteries, a 60A controller is not going to over
charge the batteries as they have a 65A charging limit s
