[RE-wrenches] Prepping for Bi-directional Charging with Enphase

2024-04-03 Thread Mac Lewis via RE-wrenches
Hello Wrenches, I have a customer who is an early adopter that is ready to add some Enphase 5P to his IQ 8 system. Doing this will require updating his current Sunlight backup IQ System Controller 2, to the latest IQ System Controller 3 to be able to work with the 5P. He is OK with this

My understanding is that the EV charger will be compatible with the SC3 but not the SC2. The white paper [https://mailtrack.io/l/90667185047385cae6914b7225cd28f5ef001880?url=https%3A%2F%2Fenphase.com%2Fdownload%2Fbidirectional-ev-charger-white-paper=1613865=feaaf6fd1c1cbfdd] says that the system

Hi Kirk, It has been a long time since I used Optics and not sure if this will work but here goes. A few years back Schneider came up with a way to hard wire a tablet for a graphic shot of the system that the user does not have to do anything. It is on 24/7. I have a few older clients that

The charge parameters depends on the FNDC settings, so yes, it comes from the FNDC but is triggered by the combination of the Mate or Mate3, again depending on the FNDC Settings: There are three "And/Or" Statements.So, to meet charge parameters, you must satisfy the following. Statement 1 End

2 things. Maybe you can sell them a service contract and clear/check the events 1x week via optics. I don’t know if there is a way to prioritize events. To me Ive always had good success with the fndc in regards to be pretty accurate for reading %. Getting rid of it seems the wrong way to go. And
