Hi Tom, I might be missing your question, but I believe that you would couple the SolarEdge inverter to the AC1 line of the Sunny Island, just like with any grid tie inverter. In other words, the SolarEdge inverter would tie into the critical loads panel that is fed by the Sunny Island. Best, Aug

[RE-wrenches] SolarEdge with AC coupling / Sunny Island

Does anyone have a diagram on how to AC couple SolarEdge Inverters that use the DC Optimizers to AC coupling with a Sunny Island like SMA 6048 . John Berdner started a link quite a while ago that I do not think included a diagram . John did mention that the SMA had the correct or best Algorithm

Re: [RE-wrenches] Solaredge inverters w/ backup generator

The "Door Open" switch is a very useful feature. I am trying to get Fronius to put a digital shutdown terminal on its CL line of inverters, or all inverters preferably. We need to pressure all the inverter manufacturers to provide a logic in or dry contact method of shutdown. Most ATS will provide

Re: [RE-wrenches] Solaredge inverters w/ backup generator

I have done systems in Hawaii, here is one with a 30 k PV system and with a 250k Cummins back up genny. We have a contactor in the ATS that will open if the genny is operating, this in turn sends a door open signal to the Satcon shutting it down I don't want anything effecting the genset operation

Re: [RE-wrenches] Solaredge inverters w/ backup generator

That's total nonsense. Most of our installs involve a generator, as generators are very common here due to intermittent electrical supply and hurricanes. We also sell and install generators and I am a tech. A decent heavy generator will produce electricity that will fall within the IEEE 1547 specif

[RE-wrenches] Solaredge inverters w/ backup generator

Hello, I recently posed the question to Solaredge tech support, wondering if their inverter, in this case a 20kw 480 3-phase, would have any issues if it were connected to an AC panel backed up by a generator. They told me no problem, for the inverter's anti-islanding will work if it sees the "

[RE-wrenches] Solaredge 480v 3-phase inverters

Hello, Has anyone on list installed a Solaredge 480/227 3-phase inverter? The spec sheet says that the nominal input DC+ to DC- is 840vdc. I assume this is the regulated operational voltage, and so the system installation falls under the code rules for 1000vdc systems, correct? My local utility

SolarEdge makes an optimizer / inverter system. We just installed one. Our clients are happy. So are we. Don't know if you can AC couple the inverter. Their website says they are about to release a version of the optimizer that will work with other manufacturer's inverters. Dick Ratico Solarwind
