This is a good representation of poor battery design. Reducing the # of strings by increasing the capacity of the battery should always be considered. Yes this is a cheap way to go but in the long run this type of install can be very expensive. Without someone as experienced as Jarmo, the instal

Just to add a little perspective on the development of inverter based storage, I have just attended InterSolar Europe in Munich. Every inverter manufacturer is showing some type of add-on battery storage system. SolarEdge was huge, they had the largest visibility of the inverter manufacturers. The

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
