How do you read it to see what my...

    growatt min 3600 tl-x not generating even in sunshine

    We now have a growatt min 3600 tl-x, but it is still not producing/generating any electricity even in sunshine, we have 2 sets of solar panels with a dual mppt controller, yesterday I got a reading of over 70 volt, but no wattage. Should it not produce some wattage? The green light is steady...

    WatchPower event log

    Hi The event log in the watchpower program, does it only work whilst the program is running with a computer, or will it pull in events stored on the hybrid inverter when the program is started? It is just I can not see any events when running the program. Thanks

    Diode and fuse

    Hi is it a good idea and necessary to have an inline mc4 fuse as well if you got an inline mc4 diode fitted? Will the diode not act like a fuse and burn out? I think I need both but just crossing the T's

    Hi just wondering, i tried to test my new Hybrid inverter to make sure it was working and to see how noisy it would be, so I connected just the ac input and tried to power it up, but it will not start. Does anybody know if you also need to have the batteries connected? is this a safe future or...

    Inline fuse

    Hi I am looking for an opinion on the size required for the inline fuse between my hybrid inverter, Rated Power 3000VA / 2400W, and my 110hr amp 12volt batteries wired in series. Also, it would be useful to know what size for 2x 320watt solar panels inline fuse. Thanks

    Micro wind turbine at 5 meters height

    Hi has anybody installed successfully a micro wind turbine on a 5 meter or 10-meter pole in the garden? does it work? We get easy winds of 10 miles per hour practically all the time, a lot of the time more than that.
