In my experience, the system sold to me does not perform as expected. It will not run my 24,000 btu condenser even though it was in the solar sizing calculations. Jaimie Jones told me my system was working but “was not sized to handle the additional load”. I don’t understand what additional load she is talking about as it was included in the calculation. She said it is not Soligent’s responsibility and u have to buy any additional equipment to make it work.

Don’t. If anything goes wrong they will blame it on you and refuse to correct their mistake. At least that is my experience with them.
I hope that my EV will someday have V2H. When that happens, I will want a more sophisticated EV connection. I think SolarEdge is working on this, but I don't know if there are more than 10 people who know how to hook them up to an existing SolarEdge installation.
Thank you for posting this - there is way too little info out there.
I have a Solaredge EV charger not integrated with the Solaredge inverter. When the Solaredge EV charger is attached to the inverter, the maximum it can charge is 32 amps. However, it can charge at the full 40 amps if connected directly to the breaker. With two Teslas, that extra 8 amps decreases charging time significantly. The issue with solar boost mode, which does gets you up to 40 amps, is that you have to be home to use it; most people take their cars to work during the day and are not at home when you can use solar boost mode. If I am home on the weekend, I set my Tesla to charge at noon when my solar panels are producing and that energy is being exported, so it goes right back into my car instead of the grid. Its a good work around and let's me charge off sushine. A positive point is that the EV charger doesn't take up space on the breaker box. However, if the inverter goes down the EV charger also goes down. I can't afford for my charger to go down for any amount of time since it necessary for my cars. It's not a deal breaker, but I would like to ask you to fully inform prospective clients of these issues. One more thing. The Solaredge EV charger doesn't play well with Tesla vehicles. Periodically the Tesla does checks on itself which requires it be plugged in and have charging available (less than 1kw to run its tests). When I set the EV charger on the timer to charge at say midnight. Before midnight the Tesla reads the cut off energy from the EV charger as an error in the line and gives an error code. The error code clears later and it still charges but just it more of a nuisance to deal with error codes. So I use the Tesla to set the on/off charging times which then works perfectly. I think this just specific to Tesla though.
In addition to what you say, if there are clouds or heavy loads at home, the available solar for the car can turn on and off quite a few times. I'm not sure that is good for the car. I too charge when I'm exporting solar, and if I charge at more than the sun provides, I'll pull from the battery or the grid. I'm not sure there is a perfect way to charge. I'm in Arizona where there is lots of sun.
@@tjmozdzen No, my batteries only back up the house on a separate critical loads panel. The EV charger is connected directly to my main panel, which is also connected to the 60 amp breaker for my inverter. So if there is an extra power draw, it, pulls it from the grid and not from the batteries.
@@ushipb00 I manually charge my EV from "excess solar". I.E., plug it in when I need charge and am exporting. I work from home a lot so this helps - don't drive much. Clearly this doesn't work for someone who drives a lot and can only do this on Sat and Sunday.
@@ushipb00 If one has a Tesla solar plus battery system, I think they have a mode where the car can only charge when there is excess solar. Thinking further about this, I'm not sure that is a good idea for the intermittent power levels that would go into the car. I'm not sure exactly how that system would work because the Tesla amp charging setting is sluggish when you change the amp draw amount.
@@tjmozdzen Agreed. I think Tesla's setup is too inconsistent, and it would take longer to charge. I prefer my setup because I have the grid backing me up when I charge my EV on sunpower. There are no fluctuations in power levels.
Hi Tony, what a great video. You have a great speaking voice and make the presentation at just the right speed, with enough detail for a very good understand of the system as well as avoiding too much potentially confusing minutia. I have a question for anyone who can answer it. Starting at around 13:10 you say that In the self consumption mode monitoring of both energy production and energy consumption by the system. Assume the charger is presently controlled to charge at full power and then an heavy load like an AC compressor turns on. Will the inverter automatically and quickly adjust (reduce) the charging power to prevent overloading the solar array (assuming it can't provide enough for both full power charging and the AC compressor)? Assuming the charger is communicating with the system via WiFi and the communications goes down for some reason, what does the charger do?
Key factor is that theses battery systems is safteyfirst points concerns are covered for inside use for human habita safety. Key all batteries are tested before deliveried to occomdate temperture co eiificency . AC or DC coupled WOW
Battery.monitioring system.included for any trouble shooting
Your calculator is pretty useless. It appears like it was started as a good idea and never finished
Thanks to Eric Daley and Brad Wancour helping make Beyond Emissions a success behind the scenes ❤️👍🎤
To oversize by 1-5kw on battery is not a bad thing😂😂😂
how about letting the product manager explain the advantage, dork
Does this work with the old IQ2 Combiner and Controller?
Sexy
The Brummster!. Always teaching and sharing storage knowledge! Good job Josh!
I would never buy a Sol-Ark inverter because of its poorer surge capacity compared to higher performance low frequency inverters.
kinda lost me at the end w the DOCTOR analogy........... post CV madness, alert
solid info!
NEM 3.0 "F-CKED" Californians. Glad I got in under the wire on NEM 2.0 - Now I'm locked in for 20 years.
How do we check to see if our HD unit and Lg battery is working properly as when we have a black out no power any where and the people gave no information other than to look at it on computer help would be good we are in coraki NSW
You sound like a sunrun sales rate. You don’t know what you are talking about. It’s not wholesale. It’s a set rate per year to zero in ten years. There’s no roi
Bullshit sales pitch!!! You’re telling me that the solution is to take an exceedingly high price for a battery that only has a 10 year warranty and decreases its longevity faster the more you use it for TOU rate arbitrage? Yea sure bud, try to explain that ROI to someone with a straight face. Let’s not forget, 1 battery is only partial home backup, can’t run your A/C during peak hours without 2-3 batteries and enough solar to recharge them. $80,000 system to offset $.40 per kWh during peak. Don’t be a slimeball. Battery arbitrage is a slimy used car salesman pitch and you know it. Solar in CA is dead with 3.0, just like what happened in Neveda. Give it up. Move on.
Are your storage batteries compatible with a Tesla solar system I have tesla solar panels installed
GRC, is my peeps 💪🏼
With your calculator it would be nice if I can change the number of panels I have rather then the average number have.
I have a solar system installed by this company and have had trouble with this company from day one! Stay away!
Thank you for the great insight. I am planning on installing the Panasonic EVPV400HK along with the Enphase IQ8M micro inverter. Can you please advise if this would be a good combination from a DC/AC ratio perspective?
Blah, blah, blah ...
I had this system installed in 2019 have the 25 year full warranty, only worked for 1 1/2 years, it's now 2023 an they still refuse to fix the problem, had 11 different technician out an neither one brought the part to fix it.
Hello..... I am struggling to find the answer hopefully you can help me. I want solar on my small business which is zoned as professional offices.... Is the NEM 2.0 program deadline only for Residential or can it be used on Commercial locations?
I have a SunnyBoy Inverter with ShadeFix. I also have panel-level Tigo optimizers. Should I keep the ShadeFix option on or should I turn it off? Not sure if there's any benefit to having both...
👍👍👍👍👍. use a service such as P R O M O S M!!
Nice Josh !!
I charge two EVs and live off grid with a ground mount 12 kW PV array. My advice is to buy the biggest PV array and largest battery you can afford. Especially if you are going to be off grid!
But the lithium titanate beats them all. Can charge at almost any temperature, 20-30,000 life cycles! Available today and been around for about 20 years!
Thanks.
Freewatt is how you control microinverters? Can you control enphase iq8
14:33 "So when you string, in this case, five modules together." WTF? He can't count up to six? There are SIX panels on that diagram.
And more importantly, none of the other commenters noticed this glaring error? Where are the independent tests of SMA's Shadefix, Tigo's optimisers, and Solar Edge's micro inverters?
Just what the market needs, an all-in-one hybrid inverter cum diverter. Brilliant idea. Hello from England.
I have spent weeks trying to figure this out on my own… I can’t wait to go to your site and see how close I am! Thank you for truly helping people fulfill their dream…
Will the Hub work with a Powerwall?
yes the powerwall is 48v with a bidirectional buck inverter inside to bring the voltage to 400vdc wish someone would sell the buck inverter so you can uses any 48v battery bank. Bet it is the same with Solaredge battery too.
Im using a sigineer 15kw AC-Coupled inverter for my huge battery. I wanted to use my solar to charge my battery but that required me to purchase a separate solar charge inverter. I really just want to go off the grid but don’t want to use a 48v battery pack.
I have 47 pieces of the 345W panels and so far so good! I made a decision to support USA made products
Por que el inverte es de 12 kilo cuando real mente es de 9 kilo y por que se calienta tanto y se cae es una situación molesta 😡 me engańaron y no puedo prender un compresor de 15 amperio no entiendo eso me puedes explicar gracias
I am confused your spec sheet shows a stack of 3 and above 10 sec surge at 16.8KW In your video you comment at 6:25ish it will do 24KW for 10sec surge I will call about this also as thinking about using these. But thinking good to have feedback for you tube land on this. Ok now i see a current spec sheet 3 packs at 16.8KW surge 10Sec And 4 and above 24KW. Surge 10sec .
I'm looking for the best price to purchase a 15k, are you still selling SA?
Why would you replace a 20kWh battery with a better inverter with a Sonnen core? 🤔
Does SOL ARK controller have an Alternate Battery Bank or second battery bank capabilities rather than Utility sell back, the Alt. Batt. Bank would be charged.
It does both - charges the battery bank and/or sells back to the grid once your batteries are charged.
Can this be used with Enphase IQ8 microinverters?
can you help me find the document mentioned at 30:31 "simpliphi power lead acid replacement guide" thanks
