Hybrid inverter in grid sell mode causing noise in house electrical system issues

jdobush

I've been running a Sol-Ark 5K-1P in my house, in grid sell mode. It's a small system - 1.6kw panels, so most of it is just lessening my grid load. (I'm in the US - 60Hz system)

Whenever it is running - I have issues in my house in different rooms and different breakers. I have some LED light bulbs noticeably flicker consistently when the system is producing anything, and 2 smart appliances that act a fool and do random things. My incandescent bulbs look unchanged and other smart appliances are unaffected.

I can't find any obvious electrical issue - voltages are consistent, and frequency last checked was 59.99HZ. This makes me think this is noise being introduced and causing problems with sensitive circuitry. Has anyone here experienced this, and tried any of the many "filters" that are available online to get rid of noise in electrical lines? Or is this an inverter issue that I need to resolve - I haven't had any luck asking about this in the past.
Thanks!

Your issue is very common.  Could be the inverter/charger electronics. Could very well be the brand of LED bulbs/or dimmers. Could be your routing of battery and electrical in the install. Could also be your configuration settings.

One way to test beside replacing the inverter in a A or B test would be to see if this happens with a quality inverter generator likea Honda.
