Hi Jason,On a recent install 2 of 3 new batteries had a low SOE and failed the self test. This made sense as part of the self test is discharging the battery, which you wouldn’t want to do if the batteries are depleted. Anyway, the low SOE batteries also had trouble “associating” with the inverter

I am not aware of any access to the DC side of the battery and Enphase did not offer this as an option. We did briefly discuss their future product line (10c) with built in array and load isolation. We'll see. Wayne Irwin President License #CVC56695 State Licensed Solar Contractor Pure Energy So

Thx Wayne. Curious, I guess they are in a sense AC batteries, as there is no way to access them for DC jump charge? And I guess that is the same with Tesla? In that there is not way to access the battery, or they didn’t figure you’d actually have a true black start? thanks for the info. jay

Hurricane Helene has taught us the hard way that Enphase batteries with anything other than IQ8's won't restart. The issue is that when the batteries try to restart (at the non-programmable time of 9:AM) if there are any significant loads, the batteries will not stay on long enough (300+ seconds

For you SolarEdge pros... I have a new client with dual 7.6kW Home Hub inverters and single SolarEdge battery. They have been replacing inverters left and right under warranty, but now have at least one working with the help of a local electrician friend. I helped them swap it in the monitoring po

Hi Dave - Thanks for following up on this. I spoke with Parker in the sales department just last Friday 9/27. I explained that I had heard that monitoring type C and D SolarBridge with Enphase equipment was possible, but he said there was no way. That said, I think he was just not up to speed yet

August, When did you talk to Enphase about monitoring the Sunpower SolarBridge micros? It sounds like this whole thing was dropped in their lap about a month ago, and they are still working out the kinks. I talked to them again today, and I was told that it is possible to monitor the -C and -D mic
