The errors are occurring when the system is well under the max amperage per MPPT of 26 amps. We've had the inverter turn itself off when the online data shows 12.5 amps max. I realize that Sol-Ark's online data updates only every 5 minutes, so I could be possible that there is a spike that the online data isn't showing, but the array is in full sun with the same number of modules and the same string configuration on all 3 MPPT's. </div><div><br></div><div>We are also seeing other anomalies such as MPPT 1 at 12 amps with MPPT 2 and 3 at 22 amps. Again, with the solar array in full sun, no clouds, and no shade. </div><div><br></div><div>Sol-Ark originally thought it was because of an issue with Tigo RSD switches, but we don't use Tigo. We've had way too many issues with Tigo products. </div><div><br></div><div>We've had people suggest that we're seeing the results of an edge of cloud affect, but there are not clouds to cause this. </div><div><br></div><div>We've also tested all the circuits with a insulation tester in every possible configuration, and tested our wiring to insure there were no mistakes by ringing it out with a multimeter. The wiring is good. </div><div><br></div><div>Sol-Ark tech support doesn't seem to know what the issue is, but they are assuring us that it's not their inverter at fault. </div><div><br></div><div>I could use any suggestions that come to mind. I'm not sure what else to try at this point. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you, </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><p style="margin:0in;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-repeat:initial;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Georgia,serif;color:rgb(80,0,80)">Vince
