I don't ever remember that either. Just tell your salesperson no. That's what I've done in the past when IMO BP is overstepping. On Thu, Dec 23, 2021 at 1:23 PM Jerry Shafer wrote: > I use blue planet all the time, can't say l have ever had to to that, > something new, what inverter are you usin

Hi Chris, My only experience thus far is ordering and getting tech support on a biggish system's worth.  3 Sol Arks on 16Storzpower 5.12 KW batteries. In working with Everett and his staff I'm very impressed.  They are the first to get UL 9540 on a server rack battery with the Sol-Ark.  They

Oh and I should have mentioned Humless - they have a CEC approved server rack battery that they are now integrating UL 9540 on their own re-branded Inverter.  Cheaper than Storz Power but the inverter is probably a gro-watt equivalent.   So I'm sticking with Storz Power now so I can utilize UL

William: That doesn't make any sense to me either. All they should need to set up remote monitoring is the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the Blue Planet network interface hardware (NIC), which is specific to the exact BP BMU hardware box serial # you have. Then usually just have the NIC (no

I could be wrong, my understanding is they can log into any site they want without this info. It perhaps makes it more streamlined. I just commissioned a LV HI w/Namaka today with Jody from tech support and was not asked for that info. He suggested I create a static IP address in the customer's rou

Hey guys, I think they are asking for that just so it doesn't need to be configured on site by the solar technician. You can just walk up and apply power and it will find the network for you. You can hardwire the Namaka unit in any case without divulging the Wifi Info. My preference is to allow

Mike,             If I understand SMA's AFCI detection system right, it detects arc on the AC and DC side of the inverter. If correct, and from my "AFCI reset" experiences, it seems to also trip with some area lighting strikes.  It would certainly be helpful in finding the issue to know at le
