Run Time is based on valid communication with the Inverter and full data returned. Communication and data returned can be sporadic during morning startup and evening shutdown when the PV Power is not adequate for the Inverter to run.
Grid Power i.e. Inverter Power Output, as reported by the Inverter appears to be lower then the calculated power (Grid Output Voltage X Grid Output Current). Magnetek has been informed about this discrepancy and we are awaiting a solution.
The response of the Solar Radiaion detector lags by minutes at times the reponse that the PV Panels have to sunlight, so the PV Power Output may be high when the Solar Radiation looks low and vise versa.
