This is interesting, set all aside temps, how its constructed, the power cycle is what changed it. Sounds like the inverter(s) were stuck in a finish charge, this may be a programming issue, is it available on line to watch remotely, has it done that again, next day? Fun times programming On Sun,

Dana, Sounds like potentially the same issue I've been dealing with in a new Sol-Ark 15 paired with Fortress eVault Maxs. Apparently, Sol-Ark did a recent firmware update that caused erratic closed loop communication between the inverter and batteries. I don't know if the Sol-Ark firmware update

Hi Dana, What type of batteries? What battery mode? If you have Lithium batteries with communication enabled, there are certain modes that the BMS is running the charging show. I've seen the Sol-Ark throttle back charge as instructed by the BMS under these circumstances. A quick check of this

Hi Dana, If the battery is in closed loop with the inverter and the battery is cold, it might be limiting charge due to cold temps. Best, Chris On Sun, Dec 4, 2022 at 8:21 AM Dana Orzel via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > Hey Now All Wise ones! > > > > An of gird
