Larry,
<div>I recommend considering retrofitting the
SolarEdge \u201cStorEdge\u201d Li-ion battery. It\u2019s a high-voltage
battery on the PV side of the inverter. We have a few out
there now for a few months without a problem. Really like
the design concept of the storage on the PV side,
increasing system efficiency.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We\u2019ve done quite a few AC-coupled systems,
which Outback FX, Outback Radian, and SMA Sunny
Island/Sunny Boy. The Outbacks require a cutout relay. We
won\u2019t do Radian AC-coupling any more, as the setup,
documentation, and support is a royal PITA, and have had
failures in the \u201cROCB\u201d automatic cutout breaker. Even when
the ROCB doesn\u2019t fail, it often cuts out when it isn\u2019t
supposed to, like at the start/end of a float cycle. My
understanding is that Outback doesn\u2019t support AC-coupling
any more with the Radian.<br>

<div>Does anyone have a recommendation on a
battery based inverter to AC Couple with a Solar
Edge 11400A-US Inverter that is already installed?<br>
I have been working a lot with the Schneider
Conergy XW+ Inverters for off grid but have no
experience AC Coupling them with a Solar Edge
Inverter<br>
Any recommendations?<br>
<br>
