I have bought a HIS system and am about to install it, but am trying to get a couple answers before diving in. I have searched spec sheets, installation manuals, etc. but have no conclusive answers. Just hints that it may work here and there.
Question 1: Can the HIS system (E4-BDI inverter) be used with an AC coupled solar system? The E4-TL-US has this setup shown specifically on the architecture diagrams, but the E4-BDI spec sheet does not. The E4-BDI spec does say AC coupled compatibility though, but it has no specifics. Has anyone gotten this to work? I would love to be able to use solar in off-grid mode.
For reference I should be getting an LG battery to have even when the truck is not plugged in.
Question 2: Can the truck actually be charged in off grid mode using the DC connection? I have seen a couple of random posts indicating someone says it can be done, but nothing specific. It would be nice if excess solar can be used with the truck in an off-grid scenario, as the AC charging would be off as per the system diagram.
