Mother Nature cleans my panels.

Clear skies in NH.

Unfortunately we had cloudy skies here in TX so didn't get such a pretty chart as I did last fall.

It does not drop to zero, it drops to whatever my load is in the house. I'm essentially islanding during the day and only use the grid...

I have TIGO optimizers and I had to turn off the arc fault detection as well, it was producing false alerts and shutdowns when the...

So I have noticed a similar thing on my Sol-Ark 15K in October, 2022. Note that I use Solar Assistant so I have much more granular data...

I think the answer misses the point. The user already has a system and they treat the investment as "sunk cost". They want to know what...

For the TL;DR: This new conductor essentially replaces the steel backbone with carbon-fiber or other alloy that has similar/better...

They should harden against CME at the same time. Existing wires have 50+ years of demonstrated reliability and maintenence...

I think the question that is being asked is "Am I degrading my system by more than $0.03/kWh exported?" I don't think the solar panels...

TOU settings are only applicable if the grid is up. If the grid is down the battery will deplete to the level defined in the settings.

I have Home Assistant and I am using the Emporia integration with it. Since I currently have free nights and also a battery, I have yet...

I have 30 degree south and 48 degree east/west panels in DFW. Jan 2023 - 1,524 kWh Feb 2023 - 1,506 kWh Jan 2024 - 1,471 kWh Feb 2024 -...

There is no PLC from Tigo, Tigo's comms are on separate wire from CCA to TAP and wireless from TAP to the individual optimizers.

I have 8s2p on two of my MPPTs and 6s2p on the third one. I had arc fault tripped with the Tigos and I disabled it in the Sol-Ark.

Except that I prefer my static addresses to be of a different range than DHCP ones. Netgear's Orbi is pretty crappy with DHCP in...

I am the same, except I dont pay the premium subscription. I didn't even know they had it lol. I originally got them because I liked...

Rarely people include opportunity cost in their calculations :-)...

I think the data on Solar Assistant is within 1-2 seconds of it actually happening, they only log at 10s interval into the DB. Some of...
