not run it yet to check, but
reports say efficiency is similar to running a Honda generator when it's
needed.

It's the MPP controller on the inverter that can get confused. They try to
load the panel down
What can a PV panel do that can impact the function of an inverter?
A PV panel is just a Diode and current source with a bypass diode on them?

From what I understand, anything up to 6kw is available IF you panels are
putting out at least that much.
Solarcity is still alive, but it's now owned by Tesla. WHen they got bought
out they came out with a new inverter, that I beleive is designed to work with
the PowerWalls.
They aren't

Well, that's a disappointment. For a minute there I thought that it might
be a way to derive lots of kW worth of 120v at 60Hz from 230-240v at 50Hz,
just by adding a big bridge rectifier

What an interesting unit!
It looks from the specs that the output is 240VAC, is there a 120V split phase
output option?

Yes!
Fantastic! Is the full 6 kW availalbe in full sun (and no battery)
or just 15 amp "secure power" outlet like on the SUnnyboy?
Amd $400 is a GREAT deal compared to the thousand+ for the sunny boy.
Is this a reproducible sustainable source of inverters like this. or are these
closeouts? is

It was originally designed to wrok with something like a Powerwall for backup
power, but will work without it and people have

Which is why the HV input product is needed. A 1500W inverter from
wal mart is only $100 (one tenth as much) and the only difference is

and winding on the HV transformer..
Sure, there is no mass market demand (yet), but it will come.

The SMA inverters are NOT isolated, so you will need a 100% isolated DC
power source, and in addition, they are not made to work with a battery
input. There is isolation detection, which will shutdown the inverter if
there is any leakage to PE. Also, The MPPT boost converters are made to
work

It's called the SPS (Secure Power Supply) outlet from a SMA SunnyBoy
inverter.

Cost is around $1500-$2000 on ebay depending on the size you want, plus
they work as a grid tie solar inverter when your power is on.
Mark,
>I used to design switching power supplies...
Have you considered filling the strong market need for a 200-500 VDC input
to 120 VAC output 2 kW inverter that can be used on Solar systems to
charge any EV (via its own EVSE) independent of the grid. There is a
CRYING need for this
