The most important thing here is that no one is standing up to sing the
praises of either SMA or Outback.
I myself have sent about 2 hours on hold over 2 days trying to get an
issue addressed by SMA.
Re: Sol-Arc I would pay a lot extra or take some not so good aspect in
exchange for good technical support.

Any tips on combining AC output from these units when stacking several

generator/grid input.
The solar MPPT inputs appear to be dead simple.

I also suggest the Sol-Ark 12’s. Extremely efficient, simple to
program, does a wonderful job in either ac coupling, stand alone
or pure off grid and terrific customer support.

Sol-Arks would be possible, you can link 8 inverters.

I'd suggest giving the crew at Sol-Ark a quick call @ 972-575-8875
with their 12kw unit. Not sure what their max number of inverters are.

Hey all, I'm designing a microgrid sized off-grid system for
somebody, and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any issues
with the following designs...
The client says he needs 70 kW. His load data looks pretty
solid, so I'm sticking to using that number as a minimum, at
least during the initial proposal stage. I only know of two
possible equipment options for this size range...
1. I think I can use up to 10 Outback Radians, for up to an
80 kW system. Are there any bugs or problems with using
this many inverters on one hub? I know I've read about
issues with selling to the grid, but that's not an issue,
this is off-grid.
2. I know that the SMA cluster box with sunny islands can
allow for up to a 72 kW system. Do you know of any bugs or
problems with this system?
Are there any other options that anyone would suggest?
Schneider's website says they can only do up to 61 kW, and
Victron can only do up to 60 kW.
I know that the Outback system would yield a 240/120
Split-Phase system and that the SMA would yield a 208/120 3Ø
system, but this doesn't really matter either way for this job.
Thanks so much,
Kienan
