Hi team. Just wanting to know if there are any harmful effects when testing final sub-circuits in an installation being powered by an off-grid PV system with an EFLI tester? Thanks.
Starting a solar three phase project, how do you connect the generation meter from 8 three phase inverters, or will each inverter have it's own g meter? Appreciate a response
Has anyone in sl tried the solis range of inverters? I'm thinking of giving them a try on jobs where we have to be very competitive. Midsummer has put me off using the eversolar range as they said they'd had far to many that were faulty.
Having followed the Power One TL inverter thread I thought I would start a thread covering TL inverters in general.
We have had 2 SMA 4000TL inverters DC Insulation Resistance problems reported this week. One we were out at yesterday and found it was possible to trick the inverter into working...
Hi all, I looking at having a new solar panel system installed in kent and would like some advice if you could spare some time.
I have been looking at getting installed around 6-8 kw system. If I go for an 8kw system I would have shading issues on a bottom row of panels (spaced over two roofs...
Hi people
We've had 2 Fronius 150IG plus inverters stolen from site.
They were in a plant room still in their boxes. Police are doing nothing, insurance won't pay because there was no forced entry, site think we stole our own inverters.
Does anyone know where such specialist equipment gets...
I have a job using 8 console+ tubs, my question is can you use micro inverters with these? I can't see how you would fix the micro inverter under the module?
Can anyone who has used these shed any light?
Also what kind of ballast do you use? i will check with my structural engineer monday...
With tighter margins, the temptation to go cheap and cheerful in terms of equipment is growing. Andy at Sibert is offering Afore inverters at cheaper prices with a ten year warrany. Zenex will be offering a 3.6k twin tracker with a ten year warranty for £500.00, thats over £200.00 less than a...
hi all
just need some advice on the 3 strings on micro inverters
4 panels on one string east
6 panels on another string west
4 panels on south string ground floor roof
do they do a junction box for multiple connections & then onto monotiring station?
also this would be my job for MCS...
A farm I have done some work for are having an array installed by a third party but I have been asked by the farmer to do some additional work not included in the PV install. At present there is a PME supply into a workshop from which a 25mm 2 core SWA has been buried underground and run to a...
Hi
I can understand that, during a power cut, an inverter connected to a PV array needs to shut down to prevent maintenance workers on the grid but I don't see why the inverter cannot still continue to provide domestic power. Surely all that is needed is an isolating relay which can distinguish...
Hi, I have been searching the forum for information on inverters and their comparative efficiencies, I havent found anything so was hoping someone might point me to relevant threads or perhaps a comparison table on the www.
I guess efficiency isnt everything and that some brands will have a...
Hi,
I have two quotes one for 11 panels (in a 8 / 3 configuration - a samil inverter on the 8 panels and a soladin inverter for the 3 panels) and then a quote for 12 panels ( 8 / 4 configuration with a samil inverter again on the 8 and 4 micro inverters on the 4) difference in the 2 quotes is...
Ok so I had a interesting "conversation" with a contractor today and I have a 2 part question ime hoping you guys can clear up for me.
So the scenario:
3 large cold air handling units each with 2 fans (415v 3 phase) fed through a speed controller, contactor and overloads.
All fans getting...
Hi Guys,
We've just installed our first extension to a system so we now have 2 SMA inverters with Bluetooth and the original sunny beam. We'd assumed that the display would show both inverters and allow access to each set of data.
Upon commissioning of the second system we found that the...
