Interesting topic, what l am seeing is over throttling which will
potentially contribute to mid day clipping. Many inverters now can be
overdriven by as much as 200% but the inverter will only produce it's rated

Asco and kohler both are good, and have used them on AC coupled systems
with great success. Ya l know AC coupled is not the ideal but in
retrofitting it's very common unless you also can replace the inverter with

AC coupled systems used to work like this but with solark and sort of with

Pet heater have worked for me, I air gap a sealed heater box under the
battery, thermostat inside the top of the battery. It's slow and low power
but does the trick

Hey wrenches
I have been to the Sacramento facility, they are 48 vdc nom. We ran some
tests on site pushing pretty hard and the battery did well, no volt drop,
was well over 250 amps for an extended period of time. It might be good to
reach out to them and do a visit to see how it works, bring you
Wrenches.
You might want to consider turning off the inverter as a solution to
turning off the batteries, we have this feature as part of our installs
with outback real simple then no chance of AC anywhere, Not going to pop a

I would only look at outback, Date available and easy to access, can be
easily connected to additional components in the future.

Wrenches, Glen
I have installed fortress Evaults on both the older and newer SMA SI
inverter/chargers, you will need to make some changes to the charger config
with the temp sensor. It is somewhat wild in the current state and must be
locked down, it is not very difficult to do and makes a big diff
Wrenches, Jay
You may want to remove the battery temp sensor and see what it does, an
open/short in the sensor will send it all over to compensate for the range
issue, the issue may also be in the temp compensation board inside the
inverter.

The xantrex had one fused line on some of the GT lines,as l recall its a 15
or 20, no this is not the GFI Fuse, old SMA's also had just one.

First of all confirm as it might well be the inverter, SMA is a great
solution for a replacement however like much we deal with are in short
supply, if it is a battery inverter then the Solark or Outback are good
solutions.

This is interesting, set all aside temps, how its constructed, the power
cycle is what changed it. Sounds like the inverter(s) were stuck in a
finish charge, this may be a programming issue, is it available on line to
watch remotely, has it done that again, next day?
