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. I'm looking to get a full 4kw system installed and have had 3 quotes. 1 I dismissed as the company didn't check out too well. The other two quotes appear to both be reputable companies with all similar credentials and warranties. The main difference is one is favouring solaredge and the...
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...
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...
Hi folks. Called out to micro tripping rcd occasionally. Customer bought new micro, but that is doing the same. I said, get the new one replaced ...just in case, which he did. Still the same. Only ever happens with the micro
Tested rcd and n-e, l-e, rcd testing ok on 0.5, 1X and 5X. Cant...
We have been looking at a job with considerable shading on what would be the main location of panels. It is a big late Victorian Semi where we can probably get ten panels on one side and a further 6 on the flat roof above. Nearly all the shading comes from a chimney stack located on the outside...
Struggling to find a great deal of information regarding how to conduct testing and complete the PV Array Test Report. I thought there would have been many people facing the same issues.
I don't have a copy of BS EN 62446 at present. Does this include any information specific to testing micro...
Our first micro inverter install (3kw). 8 x 250w Phono Solar Mono All blacks mounted in landscape facing South 45 degree pitch and 4 of the same mounted in portrait facing East.

Ps
2 of the panels are shaded by a chimney until 12 noon.
Just wondering about your thoughts on whether I lost a job to a technically deficient but more expensive design.
Basically a customer has a fairly large tree due west of his roof
but has been convinced that the shading is severe so he should go for a more expensive quote using micro...
Hi guys, were hearing stories about an installer from Birmingham buying up all the solar guide leads and going in cheap as chips on Canadians and micros.
We've lost a couple to them but by the time we get to the customer they are absolutely convinced that Canadian are the best panels and...
Me thinks this topic has been covered on here somewhere, How would you commision micro inverters and solaredge systems ie strings voltages and short circuit current ?????
I have a photovoltaic system and the production today is around the 18 KWh.
Does any body want to compare his prodution to mine? (sun light, temperature and other influences).
Hi
ive been reading about new PV panels with a micro inverter on the back, in effect generating AC from the back of the panel. Two questions
How does this work with G83 re cutting the feed in the event of gridloss.
Earthing, I know its out of the zone, but its generating AC will it need to be...
Hi Guys
Been reading various post regarding PV systems etc where like me other forum members have very limited experience with these systems. I will not touch anything to do with that side for obvious reasons, but have been called to look at problems not relating to this eg light / power etc...
Would it be worth asking for these on a roof with zero shading? Kind of like the idea of being able to monitor each panel and the fact it's ethernet. This bluetooth for SMA really doesn't impress me.
I am going to be installing these in the near future on very small installations.
My question is this; Does the array still require earth bonding as per TL systems? and also, do they suffer the same issues with regards to tripping 30mA RCD's?
All help appreciated
Has anyone installed these? I wanted to use enecsys with sanyo n240se10, but having run it through pv sol it was incompatible. Checked with enecsys and they have confirmed that this is correct. So need another option what has anyone else used?
