<p>Why would you not use a battery? I get it that this has the
grid, but, why?</p>

<p>Maybe this is something you all know, but I did not. I put
in a SolArk system w/o batteries for now. I spent so much
time trying to understand why the DAS did not record
import/export of power. The generations data exactly
mimicked the utility data but in reverse, even at night,
which led me on a wild goose chase.</p>

<p>I have been told that because the CTs are dc powered, they
cannot do this.......... And I am the first person so
passionate about this.</p>
<p>I told them that this issue was not in the manual, that the
CTs would not provide load data w/o batteries, and they
agreed. </p>
<p>I want to ask if anyone can tell me that this is how other
inverters similar to SolArk work? I spent such a large
amount of time that appears unnecessary with a better
manual. </p>
