<div dir="ltr">That's too bad the previous installer seemed to perhaps be thinking in the right way originally but just was wrongly implemented. Perhaps treat it like we used to with powerful hydro systems and add a couple 48v dump loads if the unit's voltage control mechanisms can't be figured out?

Visited a prospect last week who has a larger system that was installed wrong. We are looking at fixing it. One of the issues, the customer was told to buy and install a Kohler 6VSG 48 Volt DC generator. The original installer ran the DC outputs into the AC inputs of the inverters. Needless to say, application does not work. It was mentioned to me that these DC Gensets need a “Buffer “ between the gen and the battery bank.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"> Have reached out to Kohler, no clue, Kohlers top resellers, no clue.
