Hello, I would like some clarification on inverters in California. As I understand it to have battery storage and be able to discharge to the grid from your batteries the inverter has to be "PCS certified" and has to be able to go into a mode that does not allow charging of the batteries from the grid but can discharge from the batteries if that stored energy was generated from solar. Question 1: Does this mean that no import is allowed from the grid at all even for loads directly to the house or just no import to directly charge the batteries? Question 2: I would like to use the Eg4 18k with PowerPro batteries but I don't think it is PCS certified. In the PG&E generation interconnection application when asked "How will you limit export" when "PCS" is selected the Sol-Ark 15k comes up as an option but not the Eg4 18k. When "Derated inverter" is selected the Eg4 18k does come up as an option. What is the best way to go about this? (And maybe I'm understanding things completely wrong)
Thank you
Thank you
