This is a trace from this weekend's test. From 10:00 to 1:30 the graph shows string 3 running and string 2 cycling on and off to supply...

Well I did more testing today. Based on prior testing I adjusted the load shedding so that string 1 sheds at 92% SOC and reattaches at...

I know it is standard industry practice to use 12-2 nonmetallic cable (better known as romex) for 240 only circuits. So you get a white...

I'm not sure it's code, but I consider it a good safety practice.

I was having issues with the battery voltage going to high and causing the micros to turn off. I probably should have 6 batteries...

No, but you do need something to: Disconnect your microgrid from the grid. Act as the grid forming inverter. Capture the excess power...

This is nit picky and you will find many panels where this is not done, but when using a 12-2 Romex cable for a 240 volt only circuit...

Mostly this is true so long as you do not have a current measuring device on the wires like a CT. In that case mixing up the polarity...

On the Schneider ALL the neutral lugs are internally tied together. Generally you would have a "First means of disconnect" upstream of...

I need to know if there is a 200% / Hz profile that is IQ8 compatible. I found an "Off Grid" profile that is supposed to AC Couple with...

My Settings: Nothing Special here. AC Coupling On Recharge SOC 95 - Doesn't seem to make any difference Battery Type - Custom...

Thanks, I checked and I do have the latest firmware.

If you have the app, look under System. Devices, Microinverters. I understand it should be firmware 521-00005-r06-v02.61.01

I think there are at least three reasons. It is higher voltage (up to 600 volts). DC tends to sustain arcs better than AC. A short in...

As mentioned, DC does have more arc sustaining characteristics, but I don't think these are the operative concern here. It's the lack of...

I sure seem to remember that the IQ8 inverters were ramping up slowly before the recent firmware upgrade. Possibly, the ramp up had...

That seems odd. Perhaps there is another overall (i.e. not just for AC coupled charging) setting for max SOC charging limit? Slow ramp...

I will do that. I will also go through any information I have on how some settings seem to affect the operation of AC coupling.

So first to be clear here, my IQ8+ inverters work perfectly while grid tied. I have had issues with getting them to work when AC...

It looks like this is instantaneous. If you use the power you produce on your side of the meter you don't pay for it. Once you export...
