[RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15K AC Coupling

Hi all, Over the last three days I have had one of this infuriating and frustrating experiences with Sol-Ark where you talk to 3 people and get 10 different answers. At least I think I finally got the right one today. Here is the scenario and problem I was experiencing: At a (very) remote locatio

Jason, You might need some more sophisticated equipment to diagnose the problem. It is possible that the Enphase system is not responding correctly to the Solark frequency adjustments as the battery gets full. We use our power analyzer to diagnose these sorts of issues, The power analyzer is an

Good information. Thank you. I don't believe the Sol-Ark is capable of tapering AC coupled sources. It is either on or off. I know if you connect an AC coupled source to the GEN input(s) you can change the set points for when AC coupling starts and stops based on battery voltage or state of charge

Jason Have recently had some similar issues. Ac coupling for the Sol-Ark really need to be on the gen inputs and I am told that Sol-Ark does do frequency shift on the gen inputs if needed. There is a programing button to turn it on, on one of the screens Please check to make sure all

Jason... We had a similar situation with a dual SolArk 15K system. After approximately an hour of turning system on we would get the F41 error on the master ‐ the slave inverter would show an error and then the master would shut down with the paralleling error F41 because the slave inverter had sho

Hi Kirpal, This is hugely helpful. More than you can imagine. I actually brought this up with tech support because two of the inverters have Savant insignia on them. The first slave inverter does not have this insignia. I did not supply these inverters, as the customer already had them from anothe

last year SolArk tech support told me only the Gen ports have the freq/volt modulation, and only when you program the master “AC Couple on GEN” ___ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance Pay optional member dues here: http://re-wrenches.org List Address: RE

That's interesting on two fronts. I believe the documentation says you can AC couple when off-grid with load side interconnected inverters. It would have to have some mechanism to turn off AC coupled sources for that to work. And it also says there is no modulation and it's on or off only. Strange
