Sorry if this is a stupid question. Does the AC from the inverter connect to the load side of the meter or the supply side? I assume to measure the output of the panels it connects to the load side??
Apologies if this has been answered before/ stupid question

I have two inverters wired to two strings. Do I need two separate wires from each inverter to an individual mcb. Or can I dual up the supply so only using 1 isolator at the generation meter end. I will still have 2 isolators in the loft adjacent each inverter. Or is it best practice to run 2...

Hi guys, i have just installed my first pv system for a company that has just been set up (used for mcs accreditation all passed fine) The problem is the system is only generating 800watts an hour on a very nice sunny day. Its a 3.8 ish system with fronius ilgt3.6 inverter. The panels are 17 x...
i have a project at the planning stage at the moment. 100kw across 3ph. dno say that the infrastucture is not capable of feed back, and would need a costly upgrade.
however he says that we can still get the feed back tariff using the pv generated on site but using a controller other than the...
I found this link
http://www.electriciansforums.net/photovoltaic-solar-panels-green-energy-forum/30915-connecting-energy-monitors-solar-pv.html
which showed the same problem with import and export being picked up on meter tails and it proposed a solution.
My electric knowledge is less...
Hi
Might seem a dumb question, but is it likely the Sunny Boy inverters will be OK with an incoming AC voltage of 240volts, given the nominal AC voltage is 230volts??
And given that, what is the Nominal AC voltage range...(according to spec 220, 230, 240 V; 180 – 280 V)? Does it...

Two installs 150m apart same size same orientation, one slight shading, approx 50% difference between the two, only on the days with very low light levels did shading install do better. Is it all down to shading ??
Chaps,
The Generation Meter we have has no earth connection, so I was looking to put in a 5 way junction box to take the meter off and continue earth through to the inverter..
But looking around at images of Gen Meter installs I don't see any junction boxes installed next to them... Am I...

Hi,
Having completed a couple of PV installs now, we are still a little un-settled by the wiring of the generation meter.
I have seen photos of other installs where people are using a bit of trunking in order to connect earths and keep bare sheathing covered, however, in my opinion this...
Maybe too many, or not enough, zeros there! Anyway, does anyone have any idea why a generation meter wouldn't have moved from this number for a few days? It came pre-configured as this (I'm assuming it was tested prior to being sent out).
Also, the generation meter has a constant red light on...
Hm, just saw the MCS doc on metering for the first time which says:
"The meter and terminal cover should be sealed to ensure that the customer cannot
access either."
Does anyone know if we need to buy a specialist sealing tool for the meter then, or is this something the DNO or Energy...
Hi All – first post,
I’m looking for advice regarding work generation.
A bit of background:
I’m thinking of returning to contracting after a break of 10 years. I am time-served and qualified. I sub-contracted for 15 years before my break. Within the last 10 years I had a 2 year stint as a...
