[RE-wrenches] AC coupling SolarEdge

2014-12-10 Thread Mac Lewis
Hello wrenches, I have a request to design a modest battery backup system for a residence that has a 10 kW grid-tied Solar Edge system using a single SolarEdge Inverter SE1A- US. I'd like to try to utilize the solar potential that we have on site. One idea that I had was to use DC relay(s)

Hi Mac, It looks like they are doing all that work on the AC side. If you do the DC side, you'll lose the comm from the optimizers causing error messages etc. For the few times a year this will actually need to regulate, depending on the battery inverter I'd install a AC relay and kill the

Hi: In Europe, (CE products), yes. In other parts of the world not necessarily yes, but rather depends on the state of the adopted regulations. Beyond that, I would expect that all new inverters in development will have it. JARMO

Jay, We're basically at the mercy of racking and module manufacturers to get their documentation all lined up for us and very few have actually done so. To answer your question, I believe the answer is that we do need to buy listed racking and module combinations. My understanding is that most
