Outback Radian/FlexMax/FlexNet: Limiting battery charge current while still maximizing grid sell?

Outback Radian/FlexMax/FlexNet: Limiting battery charge current while still maximizing grid sell?

I'm working on designing my install for next year, and one thing I've found that I think works, but I wanted to verify:

If I have an Outback setup (Radian inverters, FlexMax chargers, FlexNet DC for monitoring, etc), can I do the following?

  • Have a large array (call it 12-14kW effective output) that, operating at max output, can produce 250+ ADC into the battery bank.
  • Use the Mate3 to program the system such that the maximum battery charge current is restricted to a lower value (100A).
  • Have the system still producing the rated power, while selling the excess into the grid/house system (so putting 150ADC into the inverters).

Per my reading of the documentation, this should be doable with GT Mode and the various communication between systems. I just wanted to verify that this sounds reasonable to people more familiar with the system than I.

Also, is it possible to install a Radian without the GSLC box? It appears the DC connections on the bottom would be generally exposed without one.

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav
