Grid Overvoltage on Sunny Boys [RE-wrenches]

[Jeff Clearwater, Ecovillage Design]

<x-flowed>
Hey Folks,

The 10 KW (4 Sunny Boys) I just installed is losing a couple of hours 
each morning due to late startups due to the fact that the Grid 
Voltage is hovering above 260 VAC so the SBs see that as a grid 
voltage failure.  I suspect that Southern Cal Edison is ramping up 
thier voltage in anticipation of air conditioner loads on hot days 
and it's not until those air conditioners start coming on that the 
grid voltage falls below 260 and the SBs start up.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Jeff
