Up and running finally but have a little issue. Anyone have experience with these inverters
INVERTER - (2) SolarEdge Technologies SE7600A-USS2RNCY2
one is showing a fault and need help resetting it.
i think it may be affecting our production. We’re generating 19kwh per day off thiS system
NEW 10.880kW DC | 7.660kW AC and a existing 2.025kW DC | 15.000kW AC system
New to solar

Here is the other thread where the poster talks about his settings. Once your system is up you may be able to pick a different mode.

I'm off grid and squeak by with an efficient, standard 2400sf house, on about 8kwh daily.
In your case, if the grid goes down, you need to throttle the air cond way back, and cut your loads to the bone. When smoke from wildfires blows in, even light smoke cuts my harvest 50%. I was running my backup generator in the fires of 2018 because my solar was zilch from the smoke, and I was 90 miles north of Santa Rosa.Leave a comment:

I have a StorEdge 7600A inverter & LG RESU battery installed recently. The original installer flaked out at the end of the job, so I've had to fix a few things (and learn a lot along the way). This concerns the installation of a SE Meter. So I purchased the SE meter/enclosure and actually read the installation directionsLeave a comment:

The price has gone up since I got mine for just shipping, handling and tax. For a $650 charging station it is still a good deal. It may be more than you need for the Prius. However the $5 per month gives it a 4 year payback and and more capacity for a future EV. Howerver it would most likely require a bigger receptacle and new circuit to be installed.
when the electrician was hooking it up he told us that and we had that changed. they are now connected directly to panels so we may be able to load shaved. Will know more once we get connected.Leave a comment:

I am on Sonoma Clean Power and get a $0.01 incentive for the energy I generate. I also got a free EV charging station and a credit of $5 per month for their Grid Savvy program. I don't get charged each month by SCP. It is all on one bill prepared by PGE. I can provide more details since I have attended some of the SCP meetings before C19.Leave a comment:

ok I guess i may have misunderstood what the designer said but we are hopping that during summer rolling blackouts and fire shutoffs we would be able to run off the batteries.
Maybe I need to start from the beginning Vivint offered to install our solar system at no cost, we agreed to pay Vivint 21cents per kWh for 20 years limited to 3cents/per year rate hike. We either pay SCP POCO only if we don’t produce enough power. At least that’s my understanding.
We kind of jumped in without much research because PG&E has been such a **** show up here and we saw this as a way to lock-in rates for 20 years and solve our power problems during the summer at no cost.Leave a comment:

Yes it depends on your usage. Most of the planned power outages we have had in Sonoma County are during clear weather and your solar should be able to provide your power during the day and then, depending on your usage you should be able to get through the evening on batteries.Leave a comment:

Hi my name is Sean,
We just had a Vivint Solar system installed with two batteries that should produce 15% more power than we currently use. My question was we are currently receiving power thru Sonoma Clean Power but the Vivint guy who set up our system suggested we switch back to PG&E I’ve tried to do research but info is hard to come by. I think SCP rates are slightly lower and the double PG&E rates when settling up at the end of the year. The only down side I could see is SCP each month charges you if you use energy off the grid beyond what your panels produce but PG&E just settles up at the end of the year. Since we should be producing more power than we use that shouldn’t be an issue right? Any info or good source for research would be appreciated!

Ok I guess I didn’t understand something so our system was designed to produce 15% more energy than we use and we used bill’s when we were using a lot of power, since then we installed nest thermostats an are using a lot less power. So I’m almost certain in most cases we will produce more power than we use.
But unless the power is shut off we aren’t apparently going to running off the batteries. I was told by the designers that they can’t do that. Charge up the batteries then run off batteries instead of the grid.Leave a comment:

Most people with a large home will burn close to 50kWh a day.Leave a comment:
