Yes, AC-coupling seems to be the best path. Thank you for responding. Scot

You could always AC couple the SolarEdge system via the SolArk. Gives you optimization and rapid shutdown and access to that solar array even when the grid is down. Instead of using the StoreEdge - you could use one of the basic SolarEdge models which are cheaper.

I know he’ll ask me to consider replacing the SolarEdge StorEdge 7600 with a Sol-Ark 15 and other new lithium storage so he can back up more equipment. So the question is whether the SolarEdge optimizers on the roof can remain in place? Will the DC to DC converter perform its optimizing capability without the SolarEdge inverter? I do not know how the RSD functionality is triggered…is it PLC over the conductors and perhaps I lose that? Of course I’d need to consider this for the resi application. Can’t say I’ve ever seen this asked before and figure somebody here might know or be as curious. <image001.png> _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance Pay optional member dues here: <http://re-wrenches.org/> http://re-wrenches.org List Address: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] Change listserver email address & settings: <http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org> http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org There are two list archives for searching.
