Are you getting a good taper charge with this system? Are the
batteries reaching a decent state of charge from the AC coupled
connection with the inverter?
Thanks,
Drake

August,
Of course the genny itself has its own emission of
noise but the environment its in certainly will affect its overall
"annoyance level". Backed up to metal container is a negative, I
can't tell from the photo if the Kohler is on the side away from
most of the public, probably don't have to go on, you must have
thought of these things....it could have its own
(partial?)enclosure with some sound deadening qualities. Hondas
are a little quieter but not that much, hopefully the darn thing
doesn't have to come on, eh?
Nice set-up.

All,
I thought I'd provide an update on our setup since we've completed
the install and commissioning. More or less, the installation went
well. We did have one of the US Battery AGM L16 batteries dead on
arrival with a bad cell. That bad battery screwed up the state of
charge (SOC) calculations in the Sunny Island and made the SOC
reading jump from ~ 80% to 19% in just a couple of minutes. It was
easy to find the bad battery - all the batteries were about 6.5 v
with the bad battery reading about 4.5 v. We pulled that battery
out of the string for warranty replacement and are currently
running it with seven batteries at 42 v nominal. It's cool that the
Sunny Island allows for this. Other than that, the frequency shift
derate between the Sunny Island and Sunny Boy is working perfectly
and the system has more than enough capacity to run the loads
during the summer months. I'd say the Kohler generator is the nice
unit although it is a little loud for this application. If I had to
do this portable application again, I'd probably just go with the Honda 7000.
Thanks for your help! August
