I've gone well past "sensible" at this point and have plenty of power and want for nothing. I don't even know what I'd do with more power, but sort of like finding ways to add more HP to a car, I still feel the need to hot rod my house further. Is this normal, or are these signs of a problematic...
So I've got it attached to the powerpro (not sure how the thumb screws work TBH, but whatever). The opposite plane has the knockouts for the 18kpv, but no way to run screws down for the 4 threaded nutserts on the conduit box. Did I just get an old 18kpv without the holes? No mention of drilling...
Before I retire my old string inverter and have an entirely microinverter based solution (RSD requirements, california, etc), does anyone know if it's possible to just run the output of the string inverter to one of the breakers in my IQ combiner/envoy box? Obviously the envoy won't be able to...
I've got a system installed around 2011 on my roof that has 36 250w panels in a 12s3p configuration. PVWatts says the most I get (and I can confirm) is around 7200w a/c out of the setup since it's kind of west-facing.
It currently runs to a Fronius 10.0 ig plus inverter that everyone claims is...
I assume to support a faster transfer time in the event of a grid failure that there's some downsides to enabling this setting. Does anyone know what they are? Limited ability to ac couple? Reduced capacity on the load terminals? Reduced efficiency?
Why wouldn't it just be enabled by default...
Per this diagram, they state that the critical loads subpanel breaker must be no bigger than 70 amps. I don't get why - as long as the critical loads subpanel is rated for 200a, and the wiring from the 18kpv to the critical loads subpanel can support 200a, won't it be fine?
My reasoning:
1) My...
If an inverter meets the UL1741 spec as a power control system then the 120% backfeed rule can be circumvented as the inverter itself can be programmed to avoid overloading the bus of the main panel. I know the solark has this certification. Any expectations for the eg4?
Is this all I'm allowed to change remotely, or is the site down? Tried with a few different browsers. The app works, but obviously has limited settings:
