[RE-wrenches] Will SolarEdge optimizers work with other string inverters?

[scot.arey at solarcentex.com]

One of our customers who suffered severe storm/lightning damage will be
getting an upgrade. I know he'll ask me to consider replacing the SolarEdge
StorEdge 7600 with a Sol-Ark 15 and other new lithium storage so he can back
up more equipment.

 

So the question is whether the SolarEdge optimizers on the roof can remain
in place? Will the DC to DC converter perform its optimizing capability
without the SolarEdge inverter? I do not know how the RSD functionality is
triggered.is it PLC over the conductors and perhaps I lose that? Of course
I'd need to consider this for the resi application.

 

Can't say I've ever seen this asked before and figure somebody here might
know or be as curious.
