Wrenches:
I found some time to review the .evt and .log files from the primary Sunny Island inverter. Prior to 12/8/20 the system was running normally with a generator run averaging 6 hours about every other day. On 12/8 at 06:00 the system tried to start the generator. There was no indication the generator delivered voltage to the system. The system tried to start the generator 168 times between 12/18 at 06:00 and 12/13 at 15:00. 168 times the system closed relay 1 and then opened it about 2 minutes later. Maybe the generator ran, maybe it didn’t, but no voltage was delivered. On 12/15 the client started the generator and it produced voltage into the inverter system. On 12/18 I started the generator and it produced voltage. Why this generator start cycle kept recurring is a mystery to me. There may be a setting within the bowels of the menu system that I have overlooked that limits the start attempts and I will be investigating that. To me, navigating the Sunny Island menu system is like trying to remember the DOS command-line interface. I need something much more ergonomic. Thanks for all of your priceless knowledge. I feel like we are a little nerd family. William Miller Miller Solar 17395 Oak Road, Atascadero, CA 93422 805-438-5600 www.millersolar.com CA Lic. 773985
