Kirpal True there is no current control, but more like a rough Pulse width modulated control through motorized breaker that does maintain the proper voltage level for a multistage charging at Bulk Absorb and Float settings. Bill On Wed, Jul 1, 2015 at 5:59 AM, Kirpal Khalsa wrote: > Hey Bill..

Tom, I have had a few email exchanges and extensive discussions in person with this engineer, and the Solar Edge position is that they do not support AC coupling of their systems with anything. - Luc Collin | Field Application Engineer - US East So

Hey Bill...my understanding of the Outback AC coupled solution is that it does not offer multi stage charging from the grid tied inverter as it does not have any way to regulate the amount of power coming in from that inverter...based on the state of charge of the batteries and at pre set voltage

Kirpal Actually the Radian system does adjust the battery voltage point that it disconnects the grid inverter based on the stage of the charge timers using the 3 stage inverter charger set points. The FNDC will also over ride the timers if all fully charged parameters are met. It has the advanta

TomI haven't AC coupled Solaredge and Outback, but I have AC Coupled Outback with various other inverter manufacturers and their Radian AC Coupled Load center will work with any AC sourceIt doesn't directly communicate with any other inverter but its remote operated circuit breakers allow i
