We have the Home Intregation System installed by Sunrun and after 6 months and many visits have it powering most of the home essentials: Well Pump, Gas Furnace, Fridges, Internet, Fans. The one item we haven't been able to get working is the AC compressor. Sunrun told us that the initial draw of the AC compressor was too much for the system to handle and advised us to install a "soft start" for the AC compressor which would reduce the start up amperage draw.
We had our HVAC tech install the Soft Start on the AC compessor and he monitored the start up amps and they never exceeded 35 amps, which is well below what the 70 Amps that Sunrun said we needed to stay below. Unfortunately, the AC compessor still wouldn't power on while on backup power. The fans tries to spin a few times and then stops. Of course, while on street power it works perfectly.
Has anyone else been able to get an AC compressor working on HIS?
