I think the equipment is just quirky. Our Radian system at home was
doing a similar thing for a while. For some reason, with no parameter
changes, it started working right most of the time.

Friends:
I was pleasantly surprised to get a call-back from Outback with a
familiar voice this morning.
The inverter has been charging to only 52 VDC at no more than 700 watts
since new. I had blamed the 3kW portable generator. We installed a new
Kohler 12 kW Gen and the problem continued.
I had tried all the suggestions to change re-bulk and re-float and even
reset to factory defaults. Nothing helped.
The OB tech suggested setting the Gen input to Backup and.... problem
solved.
I don't know why but I won't argue with success.
Curiously I have another almost identical system that charges just fine
on Generator setting.
If anyone can explain this I'd really like to know.
