  • Reconsidering Panel Placement and Utilizing Skip Wir

    Dear All, I would like to address an issue with the west-facing panels. During the installation process, an error was made, and the plus connection was placed next to the plus connection instead of being properly spaced. However, considering that the panels are arranged in a landscape...
  • The third inverter is unable to access the house's utility.

    The third inverter is unable to access the house's utility. is it related to a parameter? The voltage on each line is shown in the pictures above ( we are installing each inverter on each phase ) it's a three-phase system the inverter is in "load search" mode, which also indicates that the AC...
  • single phase inverter to provide power to my home

    Allow me to clarify this sketch line schematic pv electricity wiring a little further. In my country, I have two sources of alternating current: a private generator (3-phase system) and a single-phase grid subscription. I'm installing a single phase inverter to provide power to my home, but...
  • Control Wiring

    Are the cables connecting to the selector switch commonly referred to as control cables, and do they typically have a cross-sectional area of 1.5mm²?
  • rust on bord of pv panels

    Could someone kindly explain why these PV panels are rusting when the data sheet states that they are resistant to salty environments? The panels are located next to the port.
  • batteries' behavior

    Do you think the batteries' behavior is acceptable? I believe there is something strange about their performance since the reduction from the absorption phase to floating is significant, indicating that the batteries are nearing the end of their cycle.
  • deflection of panels

    hello, I'm trying to install PV panels on ground soil, Will the panels' rendement be affected if the soil has fallen 5 to 8 cm after 5 years?
  • communication issue between the inverters

    Hello We installed a system today, but there was a communication issue between the inverters. The system consists of three inverters, one on each phase. The inverters are not communicating with one another, yet each one functions properly on its own. The three inverters are not brand new...

    Hello, could someone please explain when to use the higher mounting holes and when to use the lower mounting holes shown in the figure below?
  • Northern Hemisphere, the best orientation is the south.

    Hello all, A solar system in the Northern Hemisphere, the best orientation is the south. However, in front of my building, there is an obstruction (a building 10 meters higher than mine). what should i do please need ur help?
  • Do you know of a type of paint that can effectively prevent any perforation caused by electrolyte leakage in battery trays and maintain its longevity

    Do you know of a type of paint that can effectively prevent any perforation caused by electrolyte leakage in battery trays and maintain its longevity over time?
  • Need Help Finding a Charger Meeting Specific PV Panel Specifications

    Hello everyone, I am currently in search of a charger that meets the following specifications: Battery voltage: 500-750 VDC Sunspec Modbus compliance DC PV input with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) Battery DC output, requiring a DC/DC converter Your valuable assistance in identifying a...
  • the current is reduced

    Hello, I asked our manufacturer why the current from the MPPT charge controller is limited with the lithium-ion batteries although in the first months of the installation the charger was able to get 10 to 30% more power out of the solar modules for example the current of the charge controller...
  • Inverter and Generator issue- missing contactor

    Good morning, I have installed a PV system at a client's house and connected the grid to the AC input of the inverter, while the generator is connected to the AC flex input to provide a backup source in case of a blackout. During testing and commissioning, we noticed that when the auxiliary...
  • Pads under generators

    Hello everyone, Do you know what type of pads to place below the generator to prevent any vibration effects on the slab? Do you have any pictures?

  • cat6 connection within the huwawei inverter

    The consultant recommends using only one twisted cable pair, for example, the orange and white orange pair, for better signal quality. The consultant's suggestion is based on scientific principles of electrical engineering and signal integrity but i didnt understand whyAs shown in the picture...
  • density of the lead-acid batteries

    I need to conduct a test on the density of the lead-acid batteries, specifically the Sunlight RES SopZs. Sure, here are the steps you should follow to conduct the test on the density of the Sunlight RES SopZs lead-acid batteries: 1. **Preparation**: Gather all necessary equipment, including a...
  • battery trays

    Hello "I want to ask the experts on this forum: Can battery trays be created locally using subcontractors? We usually buy battery trays from the battery manufacturers, but transportation to another country is expensive. Therefore, we are considering designing the battery tray locally while still...
