FAQ

Q1: Can this unit be AC coupled? How do I AC couple this inverter?
Yes, the 18kPV can be AC coupled with up to 21.6kW of PV through an external inverter. This is especially useful when upgrading an existing system without batteries. Ensure that the feed-in inverter is UL1741SA compliant to respond correctly to grid frequency shifts and the 18kPV.

Q2: Will the inverter do true zero export?
The term “Zero Export” is used throughout the industry to talk about preventing power from being exported to the grid. The reality is that Zero Export is a bit of a misnomer because no hybrid inverter currently available can achieve true zero export. All of them have a margin of error. Hybrid inverters can get it down to 100W or less. However, if there is a load on the output, this will go away.

Q3: Do I need a smart meter to sell back?
Usually, the utility’s power meter measures sellback. They may replace it as part of the net metering agreement, often free of charge.

Q4: How loud does the 18kPV get?
The fan speed is temperature-controlled and varies with load. Under light loads, the inverter is nearly silent. At max cooling, fans can reach up to 68dB at three feet.

Q5: Is this inverter neutral-ground bonded?
No, the 18kPV uses common neutral architecture and does not create an internal neutral–ground bond. Ensure an existing bond at the service entry point.

Q6: How do I use peak shaving?
Use the “Time of Use” settings for peak shaving. Refer to the manual (section 6.1.4 and 7) for details.

Q7: Do I have to use the Wi-Fi adapter?
Internet access is not required for the 18kPV, but it’s highly recommended for easier monitoring and support. Use the provided Wi-Fi adapter or other accessories for setup.

Q8: Can I set up both a smart load and generator in an off-grid installation?
Yes, configure the system as a “microgrid” with the generator on the grid input, leaving the AUX port available for configuring a smart load.

Q9: Is the 18kPV a high or low frequency inverter?
The 18kPV is a high-frequency inverter.

Q10: What settings are available to me on the remote monitoring site?
From the monitoring site, you can adjust charge, discharge, and application settings. Advanced settings are accessible through the inverter menu.

Q11: Will running the 18kPV without battery communication void the warranty?
No, but using closed-loop battery communication is recommended for better control and support.
