DARK START SUPPORT VERIFICATION

A combiner box, provided grid power is available to the combiner box and the combiner box is connected with electric vehicle supply equipment, disables a main power converter of the combiner box, enables a reserve power converter of the combiner box, and sends a signal to the electric vehicle supply equipment. This results in a main power converter of the electric vehicle supply equipment being disabled, a reserve power converter of the electric vehicle supply equipment being enabled, and power from a reserve power source of the combiner box, that provides power to start a home energy system when the grid power is unavailable, flowing to the electric vehicle supply equipment.
