I was testing my inverter after a new install of a backup mppt charge controller and wanted to put it through its' paces.  What I didn't count on is cloud edging that day.  I am hoping the inverter, itself, wasn't just going crazy.  I'm trying to figure out whether this is normal during cloud edging.  Everything seemed to run fine.  Just looking to see if I am correct in assuming that this is the norm.  Thanks.

 

 

Not sure what to look for and all that noise is too much to live through :-)

(Are those inverters really that noisy as in the opening segment!?)

Anyway, yes, cloud edge effect can be dramatic. I've seen my +-1.8Kwp array push 2.3KW at the peak. That's almost 30% over.

Yeah...I should have toned down the noise.  That's not actually the inverter.  That was the drill, a grinder and another specialized tool running with a few other little loads as well.  They were all running at the same time.  I keep it raw as some people think editing removes the "seeing is believing" aspect.  Yeah...sorry about that.  Thanks for the constructive criticism though.
