[RE-wrenches] AC/DC coupling on conext

[Barton Churchill]

The only way to grid zero with a Radian is with dc coupled solar. AC coupled with frequency shift has to sell to the grid.

   Yes, they do LI’s. Yes they sell their own batteries but we are in the process of using one with Tesla car batteries ( harvested from damaged Tesla’s ). They helped by modifying some the factory settings for us.

Hey Peter,

                Thanks for the input, I recently had another installer recommend them to me a couple weeks ago so Ill check them out. Do you know if they can handle the lithium ion batteries? Kinda looks like they have their own battery?

  Take a look at the Sol-Ark product. Far more robust than the SE and probably the best hybrid on the market. Can take up to 11 kw worth of solar, 8 kw AC of output with high peak levels. Easy to wire and the customer support is great. Does work with rapid shut down from a few vendors. We have been very happy with the production #s as well as the battery charging and management. Can be programed to power the CL panels as well as the main panel without selling back to the grid.



Thx

Wrenches,

                I got a situation where I got a client who wants to get solar with battery backup but where he is located the grid cannot currently accept incoming solar, but we can buy from them. I was thinking about doing an conext xw system and then solaredge ac coupling for module level shutdown but I don’t know how well that would be on the conext side of things for charging some discover lithium ion batteries? I would rather do standard DC coupled system but not familiar with any of those 3rd party rapid shutdown devices(fire raptor and midnite?), has anyone used any before?
