Well it is all set up correctly now, well almost. The only thing they need to do is put the correct FIT payment in as they seem to have set it at about ÂŁ 0.086 per Kwh. It appears that I cannot set the tariff myself and that I need to contact them when it changes which seems strange. I now have the buttons chart, report and alert. Apparently the admin button is only for SolarEdge employees and company managers, I don't know if the admin button would allow me to change the tariff myself but it is no big deal.

It is interesting to look at the charts and identify the panels that are shaded to see the difference it makes. As we still have scaffolding up it is also surprising the impact just one vertical scaffold pole has even if it only shades halfway up the panel.

Anyhow I think my problems are nearly sorted now so once again thank you to everyone who has helped.
 
The admin button is available to end users/installers :)

dansk, I am sure someone else will be along to confirm if I am right but my understanding is that you should have an account from which you can monitor all your installs. This account would have all the buttons. Your clients generally just get the two buttons. If you haven't got all the buttons at your fingertips then you can not properly track individual panel performance and problems.

I may be wrong on the above but that is my current understanding of how it works.
 
I have a main account where I can manage all the systems I have installed.

i can add tariffs , site images etc etc add user / owners .

I also can decided if the user has full admin control or not.

Hi MEP ELECT

Just to keep you up to date on my failed five month SolarEdge 4kW system, is still down.

As we discussed disconnecting the DC from the inverter gave 16.9V. The new control PCB was fitted yesterday but after pairing we got P ok 14/14 for my 16 panel system and only 1.6V DC and of course no output. According to the monitoring portal, panel 14 last communicated May 1st and panel 11 last communicated May 3rd. which more or less coincides with the two failures.

Because there appears to be 16.9V on the string the SE4000 inverter was replaced today with a new one. Sadly we still get 14/14 and 1.6V DC and no output.

It may be possible to reach panels 11 and 14 from the ridge to change the boxes if it ever stops raining. Failing that its up with the scaffold and change the boxes. Unfortunately I have a conservatory across the back of the house so they will need an eight meter scaffold bridge. It's not going to be cheap or quick.

Regards, Trader9.
