    Random spikes and dips in array voltage

    Anyone know what might cause random spikes and drops in array voltage? I wired up my second array today and got everything done just as the sun was going down. Actually sun was pretty much all the way down and just had that evening glow. I tested the voltage at the wires and was getting about...

    18kpv Error Code: 3

    What exactly does error code 3 mean? It throws this code any time the inverter doesn't want to change a setting. There is no description of this code in the manual so I can't figure out what needs to be fixed. For example, if i try to change GENERATOR RATED POWER to anything above 12 it throws...

    EG4LL Fire Suppression Modules

    I was super impressed when I saw the video where the folks at EG4 lit the EG4-LL on fire and triggered the suppressors. I'm curious as to what exactly is in the fire suppression modules and how these things work. Aside from the video, I can't find anything at all about these things - not even in...

    Rich Solar Alpha 5 Rack Battery - DOA

    I ordered this battery on Monday and received it on Thursday. Super-fast shipping from Rich Solar... BUT - I open the box and turned on the battery via the breaker and... nothing. Tried connecting it to my MPP Solar 3048LV-MK and still nothing. Tested the output voltage and I'm only getting 6.7...
