Not an electrical question but I am running windows 7 with IE10 and I am unable to put a 'return' into posts. When I press the 'enter' button nothing happens. Has anyone else notice the same issue?

I recently emailed MoneySupermarket.com as I mentioned on another thread, about how out of date their PV page was. To their credit I got an email back saying they were interested in updating things and getting input from the industry in how best to promote energy saving and renewables.

Alright lads,
Can anyone see a problem with this. Excuse the drawing, im fairly rubbish at clearly drawing things and have most definitely to all you technical chaps out there, murdered the drawing to bits, but im just trying to get scope around the general idea. Which i think is clear enough...
I have split roofs and an Sma 3600 TL inverter and have only just looked at it properly. When the on screen display switches between input A & B, input B registers 0v and 0A although the power figure changes. (input A registers about 360v)
It is cloudy at the moment and no sun in the sky. Is...

Installed a 3.92kW System today. Using a 4000-TL SMA Inverter. The inverter gave a grid voltage error. After checking the input voltage it was at 255 which is definatley too high for the SMA Inverter. The house is only a few doors away from a sub station which may be causing this.
What are...
Can this be done?
Hi
ALthough not good practice, is this acceptable? Its one of my first jobs!
double Cooker on 6mm 4.6Kw = 20 amp plus 5amp as it has a socket = 25amp
A spur from cooker to SFCU 5amp then down to fridge at 400w = 1.8amps
a spur from that SFCU upto another 5amp SFU to Feed...

Hi All - last post today.
Can someone explain yield loss to me?
Run a config through sunny design which suggests yield loss. It is suggesting the min volt will not be acheived for the extremety of the cell temp range.
When I do standard Voc of array, it exceeds min dc input voltage and start...
Chaps, I've just installed our first Power One Aurora 3600 inverter with two strings (7 & 8 Romag 235's). When I turn everything on the inverter gives an error code 013. The manual has this down as "Wrong input setting". I guess it thinks there should be 1 not 2 strings.
Have been looking...
Hi
I'm getting confused about the use of string fuses.
In the dti guide 4 or more strings in parallel require string fuses to be used in the design of a system.
In certain sma inverters, for example the tri power tl8000 they already have string fuses built in. There are 4 d/c inputs on...
Does anyone have any experience of the SMA 10000TL inverter? I was wondering whether the number of strings had an effect on the 3 phase output of the inverter. For example, does the array need to be arranged as 3 seperate strings?
Im getting myself all confused and want some help.
Inverter is 20A max input current.
I have the following:
Isc 5.72 per string x 3 = 17.16 for the array at stc, inverter is is 20A max DC input, but when i apply 1.25 factor this gives 21.45, so is this inverter not the correct one? or...

Hi all,
I have a three phase mains input in my house. I suppose the builder installed this to cater for high kW power usage. However, I do not have any need for such high power input. Is it allowable to use only one of the three phase inputs L1, L2 and L3 since all my equipment in the house...
