Hello Solar Folk, I'm wondering if it is possible combine the secure power source outputs of two SMA SBTL-22's in series to run a 240v load, like a small well pump. Does anyone have any ideas about the feasibility of this concept? Thank You Much, Djibril On Mon, Jul 22, 2013 at 5:46 AM, Carl Ad

CARL: I have not installed any SBs with the "SPS" feature. My understanding is that manual activation and deactivation of the SPS grid-loss outlet is required. Not a big deal, but the homeowner has to remember to deactivate the function

Nick, I guess I don't see this as a weakness but rather operating as designed. If the design intent was to allow the grid tied solar array to provide a limited power source during a grid outage, during daylight hours, with no batteries required, it seems this hits the mark. I know these units we
