I am thinking they want an RSD button that will shut down the batteries as well as the inverter and solar panels. I don't remember what batteries you have but the EG4 batteries and inverter can do this automagically.
Sol-Ark and SOK, it’s all code compliant and an RSD button is installed.I am thinking they want an RSD button that will shut down the batteries as well as the inverter and solar panels. I don't remember what batteries you have but the EG4 batteries and inverter can do this automagically.
If you didn't show it clearly, how would they know? They are not in the business of knowing what options are provided with the equipment you buy. Show it correctly on a one-line or hire someone to draw it.I re-submitted this morning, I suppose the line diagram I submitted to the city didn’t clearly notate that the Sol-Ark has internal AC and DC breakers, I’d have expected them to not only know that, but also derive that information from the spec sheet they required for the inverter (guess they didn’t read it?).
I also made sure to show the rapid shut down button as well as include a photo.
Still no idea on the BSET portion, I asked for clarification. Should have an idea in the next “7-10 business days”
I would expect the same diagram that the city approved to work for the power company.If you didn't show it clearly, how would they know? They are not in the business of knowing what options are provided with the equipment you buy. Show it correctly on a one-line or hire someone to draw it.
Just my 2 cents after 40 years of furnishing one-line drawings in the permitting process.
To state it bluntly, I’m not positive and won’t be home for another week to check.So the RSD button turns the panels off, inverter off AND trips the battery breakers off ?
Dunno about the SolArk, but the EG4 ESS does all of that. [Not sure if it trips the battery breakers or just shuts the batteries off, but potato, potato, I would claim it does and let them prove otherwise.]So the RSD button turns the panels off, inverter off AND trips the battery breakers off ?
Oh I’m more than happy to do that, typically you find that they hate the process just as much but are bound by whatever rules their overlords have set in place.I know it can look difficult, and obviously can't happen while you are on vacation, but try stopping by and asking for the proper department. Be civil, throw yourself on their mercy, and see if you can find someone to explain the process to you.
This combo of Sol-Ark/SOK batteries is UL9540 and all that jazz, I think it checks every box imaginable, probably very similarly to the EG4 setup.Dunno about the SolArk, but the EG4 ESS does all of that.

It does, as seen in their video about it and as seen in my own garageDunno about the SolArk, but the EG4 ESS does all of that. [Not sure if it trips the battery breakers or just shuts the batteries off, but potato, potato, I would claim it does and let them prove otherwise.]
That is exactly what "they" are looking for.I doubt if either physically trip breakers, not only would that be a wild thing to accomplish, but you’d effectively have no way to restart the system without manually resetting all breakers.
So wait, you’re saying they want it to trip breakers?It does, as seen in their video about it and as seen in my own garage

Yes.Does it trip the breaker over the battery communication buss?
Yes.
