Yes, the fuse popped. I checked the screw and connection was tight.

My system has been working flawlessly for about 6 months. However, just recently, my solar system blew at the disconnect. I looked at my enphase app and it shows that 1 of the panels isn't producing. We had a storm recently and I'm guessing the storm cause either the microinverter, panel or...

Yah, just got a quote for 60 panels... 7500 for shipping!

Thanks! I totally missed the Peak output power. Let me know if my math is wrong... The panel's peak outputs are 43V at 11.75amps so 30v RMS and 8.3 amps RMS. Looks like I'll be around 250VA. I've looked at string and unfortunately, I'll have panels in multiple directions and on different...

Just circling back. I spoke with enphase and they suggested the iq7a microinverters. Looks like Isc is 15amps. They said it could handle >460watts without concern. They ran it through their compatibility analysis and said the panels would work...

Great info! Thank you. You're absolutely right about the short circuit current. I've reached out to enphase for some help. I know both string and micro systems are commonly used, but my gut tells me to buy into the micro system if possible. Thanks for the tip on Store Edge, I'm going to...

Thanks! Solar edge has the optimizers and they have inverters that look to do 11kw or more. Enphase does the micro tied into the combined. Just trying to figure what would be the right equipment for 500w panels since the specs on the microinverters seem to fall short of 500w.

Sorry, maybe I posted in the wrong forum. I'm trying to install a 15 kW system for my home. I'm planning to install a 30 panels.

Thanks! Max voltage is 42.8v Open circuit voltage is 51.7v Datasheet for the panel attached.

My roof space is limited and I wanted to maximize the amount of power I can generate. I need to set up a 15kw system. I've found some Trina 500W panels that I think would optimize my install/roof sqft. I can't seem to figure what equipment would be compatible with the 500w panels. I was...

Sorry, it's an old thread here... I'm looking to purchase and install some Trina 505w, but running into basic question - what equipment would be compatible? I looked at the Enphase IQ7 series and it looks like only 450w is covered. I'm not certian I would like to go with Solar Edge which has...

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm trying to figure out the best option for a 16kw system. I saw some Trina 550w and 600w panels. I'm curious if there's anyone here who's had experience with the higher output Trina's. I'd hate to find out they suck and have to replace them early. Thanks again...

Any experience you can share about the Trina panels? I'm thinking of picking up some as well. Thanks!
