  • Micro-inverter basics

    Can anyone explain the basics of micro-inverters to me? Here is a hypothetical situation where we live in a fantasy world with no connectivity rules but there is a well-functioning grid: If I have one 300W panel with one micro-inverter connected to it, and then connect the 3 output wires...
  • Ideas for covering base load while on-grid?

    I've got both a Tesla solar system on the roof of my house, and a DIY ground-mount system in my backyard, and between the two I cover my pool pump and EV charging during the day, with the excess being sold back to SCE for a few pennies. Outside of solar hours, my base load is about 0.4kWh...
  • What kind of connector is this? SunPower MI-C-320

    I recently acquired a SunPower MI-C-320-US208/240 microinverter for some experimentation. It has big fat, waterproof connectors on it and I am wondering if anyone knows what they are called and where I can find the materials to build a whip to convert it to bare leads. Part numbers on the labels...

I'd like to have it set up so that it runs off-grid all the time, unless the battery is drained, at which time it'd use the grid connection to power the loads. Right now, even though the battery is full, it's just bypassing...
  • MPP PIP-1012LV-MS USB communication protocol?

    Hi everyone, I've been running my 1012LV for a few months now, and the WatchPower app is ok at giving me information, as long as my computer is on and I'm sitting at it. I'd like to instead plug the USB cable into one of my raspberry pi systems and aggregate the data from the inverter into a...
  • Growatt MIC 3000TL-X can't remember what time it is

    I just started using my new Growatt MIC 3000TL-X grid-tie inverter that I bought from Signature Solar, and it's working well. I'm getting about 1.8kW out of my 2.5kW worth of used solar panels. The problem I am having is that every day I get home from work about 5:15pm and the inverter reports...
