this should have been obvious to me, i am powering on inverter 1 for the first time tomorrow and would have been surprised. now i have...

I am not talking about a specific brand, I am talking about hypothetical firmware update to off the shelf single phase inverters, where...

I realize this thread is old. In theory, why (aside from firmware and possible PCB limitations) could 3 inverters working as a 3-phase...

my line of thinking was if there is existing unused wires, his home may be older only have 100 amp breakers from the street but that's...

@webbbn were you referring to 2 separate 50amp 240 circuits, which would have been (4) 50amp breakers? if so, what were these 2...

200 amp service is 100 amps on each leg. i doubt he has 200 amp breakers from the street. 6 months is nothing on a forum people will...

There's no harm in confirrming that's what the OP is really working with, or mentioning he could be mistaken. 200 amp service is 100...

on a separate note, if he did have (2) true 50 amp 240 circuits, what would prevent him from parallel the inverters by not simply not...

there was some discussion of paralleling existing unused wires in a home to double current capacity, in reference to what the OP is "a...

Aside from code, the OP's existing 240 circuit likely has a shared neutral, if any at all. If they were to parallel the 2 hot...

Someone must have simulated this. I said fail, but I am more asking what happens if I were to power off 2 of 3 inverters if the grid...

I guess this applies to inverter failure also. Does a 3-phase setup with 3 inverter tripple the probablity of a single point of failure...

I have 1 but will have 3 of the new srne hyp 5000w series. I have 3 phase power, going to put one on each leg. I am trying to decide...

Efficiency, future proofing, load balancing. load balancing - putting 120v loads on a split phase inverter means you have to be...

We have 2 20 foot single trip shipping containers. We were told not to walk around on the roof; not designed for that. I built a deck...

Update: it was in fact too good to be true. They had 800 panels needing repair and are almost done replacing connectors and...

Yes, "MC4", from Stabuli Not so much a standard as a quality connector. You can buy PV panels and RSD or Optimizer boxes with Stabuli...

Is there a standard connector that is better? If someone had to replace mc4s that were bad, does anyone recommend a brand or type of...

yea the more i though about it, unless they were submerged there's no way they are compromised beyond the connector. we are over 5...

i moved on from the pergola for cost/ labor solving wind load. snow would have been easier to solve but never got there.
