We do take it off line when the pulsing is bad. --- On 2020-08-25 12:08, Jay wrote: Hi drake I did a small enphase system with my 3524vfx some years ago. It was 3 M190's. It had the same issues. Mostly it appeared during when the loads vs AC production were at a specific level If the

Hi drake I did a small enphase system with my 3524vfx some years ago. It was 3 M190’s. It had the same issues. Mostly it appeared during when the loads vs AC production were at a specific level If the AC was high and loads low, it was fine. If the ac low and loads high no issue But if

P.S. The Radian is set to phase shift, and it reliably shuts off micro inverters at set point voltages. The issues occur at lower battery voltage, below the set points for the phase shift. --- On 2020-08-25 11:20, drake.chamber...@redwoodalliance.org wrote: The inverter is set to ON not to

The inverter is set to ON not to SEARCH. If the Enphase circuit is switched off, the pulsing stops immediately. This system has both AC and DC coupling. In another location, with a Sunny Boy AC coupled with a pair of stacked VFX3524 inverters, there is some pulsing in low light conditions.

Wrenches I would think that in time there might be damage. Check to make sure the inverter is not on search but I stead "ON", next if you turn off the enphase the the outback perform normally. Check the inverter frequency to see your frequency is shifting have one that has both AC & DC Coupling

Hello Wrenches, An AC coupled arrangement, with an 8 kW Radian and 8 Enphase microinverters, pulses lighting at low levels of array illumination. This is generally not too much of a problem. Under certain levels of solar isolation, the pulsing becomes extreme and causes the motors in the
