Considering the lack of public info available for the Powerwall, does anyone

For example, can we AC couple 10kw Solar Edge to a single Powerwall?

Rich, this is a known flaw in the Magnum AE and PAE series. I have one longtime
client for whom I supplied a 4448AE around 2009 who later told me that had he
known of this frequency issue he wouldn’t
bond.
All connections appropriately torqued.
My recollection is the modest voltage swings are within Magnum spec. But its
constantly moving about which seems somewhat suspect to me.
Any suggestions?

I always advise that as solar installers we can point toward tax incentives
