<p class="v1MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hi folks:</span></span></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 11.55pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">We have a situation where the Sol-Ark 12kW Inverter isn’t able to adequately manage the loads and perform auto-gen start other than low battery level. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And despite thorough understanding of the customer’s initial loads, after he’s bought the system, he’s continued to add more and more loads – a severe case of load creep. </span></span></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 11.55pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 11.55pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">He’s got a 38KW generator and we’re looking for the components to make the generator <em><span style="font-style: italic;">load responsive</span></em> instead of just kicking on when the battery voltage is low.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Are there any ideas on switching equipment that can do this and work with the Sol-Ark?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’re waiting for a reply from Sol-Ark, but thought you folks may have some ideas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 11.55pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 11.55pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">The original design was for a larger solar system and inverter, but the customer balked at the cost and said he’d reduce his loads accordingly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Unfortunately, that has not happened!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now we’re trying to bend the laws of physics and have his 38KW <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>generator make up the difference. We need to come up with a means of accommodating the compromised design and now are faced with additional loads -- along with a significantly reduced solar array. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is there a way to make this (2 wire start) generator more load responsive?</span></span></p>
<p class="v1MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 11.55pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span></span></p>
