Follow up: The charger on the Radian connected to the grid at 252 VAC today. It appears that it is random when the inverter will connect. The AC grid voltage does not appear to be the issue. _Drake Chamberlin_ _Athens Electric LLC_ _Ohio Electrical Contractor's License 44810_ _NABCEP

What is the triggering for utility charge? % or volts or time of day or?  I have seen this with offgrid generator use. It has to do with the rebulk volt setting being too low in relation to when the client started the generator. Their intial fix was to unhook the mate and plug it back in. That

It isn't in sell mode. The system is 2 or 3 years old, and has had this issue before. Outback couldn't figure it out, and then is started working normally. --- _Drake Chamberlin_ _Athens Electric LLC_ _Ohio Electrical Contractor's License 44810_ _NABCEP Certified PV Installation

Is the radian connected to grid sell?  If so then I’d say yes the higher grid voltage is preventing connection. JayOn Oct 31, 2023, at 9:35 AM, Drake Chamberlin via RE-wrenches wrote: Jay, It was a problem that surfaced before. Outback tech support was unable to figure it out. Then, the problem

Jay, It was a problem that surfaced before. Outback tech support was unable to figure it out. Then, the problem went away. Recently it showed up again. For the last couple of days it has been connecting normally. The voltage has been 250 VAC or lower. I know that most direct grid tie

Hi Jay, The inverter won't even connect to the grid. It stays in the state where it is sampling the grid, AC in light blinking. Is the default high voltage for the nominal 240 V 280? (IE 140 V X 2). Thanks for your help. Drake _Drake Chamberlin_ _Athens Electric LLC_ _Ohio

Hi drake The early mate 3 has a glitch which I think they changed in the 3s. You e got to set the rebulk volts above what you want it to charge at. IE if the battery volts don’t get below the rebulk volts it won’t charge. So if your shallow cycling the batteries it’s common it won’t get

My Radian GS 8048 intermittently will connect to the grid to charge batteries. The grid voltage seems to run high around here. Yesterday, it wouldn't connect. The grid voltage was at 251 V. Later it did connect. At that point the grid was at 246 V. I am suspecting that the Radian has a voltage

You can select which power module is used with the Mate under the inverter settings. Left, right or auto. This way you won’t have to physically swap the modules to determine if one has failed. > Sent from a IPhone, with touch screen keys on the fly. Please excuse > shortcuts and typos. >

Hello Wrenches, Are the power modules in a Radian the same?  Are the left and right ones interchangeable?  What designates the master as such? Is it the ribbon cable connection to the control stack? Thank you, Drake ___ List sponsored by Redwood
