    AP Systems QS-1 dropping output randomly

    I have an 8.2kW system comprised of 20 405w Talesun panels and 5 apsystems qs-1 micro inverters. 3 micros are on one string and 2 on the other. Both go to separate breakers in the sub-panel that feeds back to the main. For some reason one of the micro inverters will drop out to a low or zero...

    Micro inverters with multiple strings - how to set up the safety cutoff?

    Ok, family issues galore and my solar project has been sitting in crates for a year. I'm finally set up for the last part of the install. I have all the racking installed, braced, and ready to go. My plan is the following: From the AP Micro inverter strings, they output black, red, and...

    options to combine multiple inverters

    I have essentially the same questions. Combining the two ac lines into one creates a really expensive solution. I think I'm just going to put in two small-as-i-can-find safety cutoffs for each AC output from my two inverter strings. I looked at discos from that mfr too.

    Micro inverters with multiple strings - how to set up the safety cutoff?

    It's not the cost it is the elegance of install. I'd prefer a single cutoff but if not an option, I'll just do two.

    Micro inverters with multiple strings - how to set up the safety cutoff?

    I'm relatively new to the whole world of solar and have educated as much as I can but I'm getting conflicting information so I figured I'd turn here for some help. Here's my steup: 20 400 watt panels 5 QS1 micro inverters Unirac racking Since the max panels in a QS1 string is 12, I have two...
