i'm about 3 hours into a grid outage here. we had one earlier in the week that lasted about 5 hours total. Solar and PW working beautifully. I've had a 6.6kw PV and 2 PW's in place or about a year now. The behavior of the system has definitely changed. For the first several months that I had the system, if the grid went down and PW's began powering the home, solar would NOT start charging the PW's until they dropped to about 75-80% of capacity. However, now the solar will start charging the PW's as soon as they drop below 96-97%...... which is great. I'm assuming this was just a software change in a recent release. Anyone else notice this? Note from the picture that we are in Storm Watch mode now but the system behaved the same way during last week's outage when we were not in Storm Watch.IMG_2174.jpg
