For a general rule of thumb, I use NEC 366.23 "ampacity of conductors in sheet metal gutters". For anything large or needing inspection, I have my electrical engineer design the bussing as he will factor energy density and temperature rise across the bussing. It's pretty straightforward for DC buss

That's actually incorrect, Fortress totally does support closed-loop with the SMA Sunny Island inverters. Here is their integration guide. This has all of the instructions and coms wiring, etc. - https://learn.fortresspower.com/external/manual/sma/article/introduction-useful-links?p=dc8b9a9c1b3f

Kieran: I have read the documentation. Fortress tech support said there have been problems and recommended open loop. Do you know what parameters are passed with closed loop? William Miller Miller Solar.com 805-438-5600 www.millersolar.com On Tue, Sep 19, 2023 at 12:18 PM Kienan Maxfield via R

William, I'm sorry, I was assuming that people posting here simply hadn't found these integration instructions. If you have tried these and they didn't work, then I stand corrected. I have no personal experience paring this with SMA... I have some really bad experience trying to pair other LiFe

Glenn: Thank you for that important clarification. I keep mixing up the concept of Fortress supporting the integration with SMA versus SMA not supporting the integration with Fortress. Fortress is all over how you make the marriage work. When I spoke with SMA to ask a question unrelated to

We may want to distinguish between 4248 and the 6048, the 4248 has no capability to connect to fortress and a viable solution is to set the temp sender to77 degrees to peak charge the fortress evault max. Fun times On Tue, Sep 19, 2023, 6:43 PM Glenn Burt via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wre
