Long time reader, first time poster. 
I have an off-grid building with three 48v 8k inverters in parallel and about 60kwh of storage. For the past 3 years or so, I've been daily charging my Tesla and previously my Volt with this setup almost daily, as well as friends' vehicles when they visit with no issue. However, when I try to charge my Air, the car kinda makes a buzz sound and clicks off. It will try 3 times before saying to disconnect. I did reach out to Lucid, but they said this is not a common set up and they don't have much data on the issue. I understand the Air uses active rectification during home charging, and I'm thinking it must not be playing nicely with the power produced by my home inverters. I have an old GE Wattstation, Tesla HPWC & mobile cord, as well as the Lucid mobile cord and a cheap amazon cord, they all do the same thing. If I dial the current back to 8-12Amps, it will sometimes stay connected, or sometimes still kick off randomly. The issue with this is that I have to open up my wall units to dial the current back, since the Lucid doesn't allow to adjust current thru the car or app. This isn't too practical for the Tesla or friends' cars.
Has anyone else experienced this issue or anything similar? I can monitor the charging power and voltage via HomeAssistant and it doesn't appear to be a voltage sag or similar that may be kicking off the charging. Perhaps if I could set the amps to 8, and increment them 1A at a time I can rule that out entirely, but from what I can tell voltage will only dip to about 230v.
Edit to add, charging 120v from inverter works no problem, as well as on-grid L2.
