Charge is set to charge using SOC. But does not initiate when minimum level is reached. Flexboss drops into standby mode and load is transferred to grid. Also I have no grid light on gridboss which is always in standby mode. Also I am operating without pv at this time. Three wall mount batteries in service Monitor shows normal grid function. Could use some help resolving these issues

The question is on the PV array spec it says under (  PV Input Data ) Number of MPPTS 2 . They can have two stings per MPPT and each MPPT 35 amps or 17.5 A per sting if two strings are paralleled to each of the MPPT inputs  ( no problem  understood ). Please understand my solar panels are 395 watts rated at 10a per panel . At 1:00 p.m. I read the solar panel and it read 42.5 vdc at 12.1 A off of one solar panel. So now I have to figure out how many solar panels I can series together on each stings. The spec says " DC Input Voltage 100 - 480Vdc " Great wow how nice. I can really figure out how many to put in a string now right ? Now the spec says also " MPPT operating Voltage  Range 120 - 385 VDC " really ? So now I can use as many in my string as I thought right ? Then it says " Normal MPPT Voltage 320VDC really ? I 'm waiting for but max PV voltage 160vdc now LMAO. So question in figuring out how many solar panels I can put in series do I now go over  480vdc or 385vdc or 320vdc ? I do know that I have to allow 10% for voltage increase . Even tho I measured the voltage during the highest time of the day for my area.   Can someone Please help me to understand what would be the highest VDC per string I would need not to go over ? Thanks so much for any reply !

Also now many FlexBoss 21's can I parallel together ? If I parallel them together do I have only one AC output going to my single breaker box or would I need to set up sub panels for each FlexBoss 21 inverter ? In other words can I hook all my outputs of my Flexboss 21's to my single AC breaker Panel. I hope this makes since I really need to know.

🔌 Seamless Grid Integration with EG4 Inverters

As distributed energy resources (DERs) become more common, reliable grid integration is crucial. EG4 inverters stand out by meeting UL 1741 CRD-PCS standards, ensuring smooth utility interactions.⚡

✅ 4 Operational Modes to meet your energy needs:

  1. Unrestricted Mode: Two-way power flow for maximum flexibility.
  2. Export-Only Mode: Sell excess solar power back to the grid.
  3. Import-Only Mode: Charge batteries from the grid without feeding energy back.
  4. No-Exchange Mode: Perfect for off-grid scenarios.

💡 Cost savings with smart power management—no expensive upgrades required
