<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks for the suggestion, Jay. <div><br></div><div>Yes, the Sol-Ark has a very basic and limited AGS for 2 wire compatible gen sets. Gen start can be programmed with voltage or SOC, however gen stop is not a function that can not be readily programmed. Instead, the Sol-Ark is programmed to charge the battery bank to 90% of the rated Ah capacity of the battery bank before turning off the generator. You can ultimately adjust this gen stop parameter to be based on a specific SOC or voltage, but I believe that doing so requires a call into tech support. The tech I spoke with updated a setting (having to do with a TOU parameter I believe) that was not accessible via the system interface. AGS from Schnieder, Outback and even Magnum are less clunky, but I am hoping that Sol-Ark will eventually come out with new programming to remediate these minor but nevertheless, important issues</div></div><div><br></div><div>-Chris</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Nov 11, 2020 at 3:58 PM Jay <<a href="mailto:jay.peltz@gmail.com">jay.peltz@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="ltr">Hi Chris</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I would install a timer.
