Yes, correct on both. The generator support is there, I did not use it.

Chris,

Nice finish on the Sonnen install.  It looks fabulous.  My understanding is
the Eco 2-8 integrate the 4kW radian, and the 10-16 incorporates the 8kW
radian.  I assume generator support is fully supported

I promised a picture of the Sonnen installation. As these units are getting
close to being appliances in the same vein as home audio, we wanted to have
a clean finish so we made some mill work to complete the top of the unit to

Re: [RE-wrenches] SolarEdge 7600 and the Powerwall

2016-06-14 Thread Chris Mason 
Howie,

The Sonnen Eco16 we installed is very nice equipment. I have previously
used the Radian 8048A inverter but the Sonnen adds a really nice battery
system, nice interface, and a Z-wave energy management system.
The battery system is by Sony and the stats are incredible. !0 year
warranty, 10,000 cycles, discharge to zero without damage, very good
battery management system.
The install was easy enough, connecting the mains cabling is a challenge as
there is very little room, I would definitely have a trough or some kind of
cable management device above the unit. It takes two people, one to guide
the cables into place and one to push them.
The batteries are so light it is surprising, one person can easily carry
them. This alone is enough reason to go Lithium.
I set the minimum battery reserve to 10%, this client wants to use as much
solar as possible.

Setting up the system is simple, there's a few parameters but they are
easily understood and the manual is very complete.
The client already had an 8KW PV system using a Sunny Boy 8000TL. That was
already connected to the load panel so we didn't have to do any solar
installation.
The Sonnen Eco uses frequency shift to turn off the inverter. This does not
work when it is grid tied, so it can't stop the inverter backfeeding the
grid, which is a problem for us. There's going to be a fix for that shortly
that will allow us to use a contactor to disable the inverter.

If you have clients looking for Lithium batteries, this is a very clean,
very easy to install and configure system.
I will post pictures after I finish the clean up, we are making a wooden
shroud to hide the conduits.

2016-06-14 Thread Marco Mangelsdorf 
Yes, this install was on Oahu in HECO territory.

 

HECO, HELCO and MECO have an interconnect agreement known as Customer 
Self-Supply (CSS) where the customer-generator is not supposed to export more 
than an “inadvertent” amount of surplus power to the grid.  For these CSS 
systems, battery storage is needed.

 

Note that there’s been a whopping one CSS system installed to-date by Sunrun.

Thank you, your timing is perfect.  I am working with a utility to get approval 
of a StorEdge  / Solar Edge combination with Tesla batteries and potentially 
export limitation.

The utility has been asking for examples, and this is the first I can bring 
them back.  HECO territory?  Sorry the system isn’t yours, but thanks for 
helping  pave the way for others!

 

Any other examples of StorEdge with batteries or SolarEdge or StorEdge using 
export limitation would be most helpful, meeting with them on Friday,

Thank you, your timing is perfect.  I am working with a utility to get approval

The utility has been asking for examples, and this is the first I can bring

Any other examples of StorEdge with batteries or SolarEdge or StorEdge using

I would love to hear more about that install. Design, sense of equipment
quality and development (is programming and function well thought out and
implemented), availability, pictures, etc. are all significant questions.

Marco,

Thank you, your timing is perfect.  I am working with a utility to get approval 
of a StorEdge  / Solar Edge combination with Tesla batteries and potentially 
export limitation.
The utility has been asking for examples, and this is the first I can bring 
them back.  HECO territory?  Sorry the system isn’t yours, but thanks for 
helping  pave the way for others!

Any other examples of StorEdge with batteries or SolarEdge or StorEdge using 
export limitation would be most helpful, meeting with them on Friday,

Best regards,
Lloyd
