My experience is that this was a low volume product that most distributors don't stock. We sell it on the Enphase store as a service to installers and homeowners. . Cordially, Nick Soleil Enphase Energy Senior Product Manager (707) 763-4784 x7267 // office (707) 321-2937 // cell

Hi Dave You can get a used Envoy-R to talk to the local microinverters, but you will not be able to reassign it to the new site. You will have to beg Enphase to do this for you. Sometimes this costs money if they think you are reassigning the whole system to a new owner. But why bother? The

I have a client with a large woodworking shop…cabinet table saw, large 20” 240V bench planer, chop saws, compressors and a vacuum system. A single Sol Ark 15K takes care of these loads flawlessly. It seems that that inductive load snag with the smaller models has been resolved with the 15K. Best,

Be very careful with old units on eBay. They may not be usable. There was a security certificate update that was necessary to keep units communicating with Enlighten. If the unit was offline and the update was not applied, it was essentially bricked from a remote upgradeability standpoint. I can't

Hi Mac The radian is low voltage transformer Based. Has hella surge capacity I would consider what web based monitoring system he wants and go with that platform. Regardless of system I’d install soft start/vfd on the larger units. Just easier on everything. The solark 12 doesn’t seem to

Larry. Hera's an idea. Put a 1:1 isolation transformer of suitable power rating between the inverter and load. The iron core will act as a energy storage element allowing for a cleaner ac waveform during start. Frank BZP On 1/13/2023 12:54 PM, Starlight via RE-wrenches wrote: Any new AC

Any new AC equipment connected and running during test? Scope the waveform during equipment start to see if the distortion is severe. I have seen a 300W load make a mess of a Magnum AC waveform. Larry Crutcher Starlight Solar Power Systems On Jan 13, 2023, at 11:48 AM, Mac Lewis wrote:
