  Hi Brian,
  
    The fan drive circuit is
on the control board. If the control board needs to be replaced,
it could
get pricey. 
  
  Tekris Power Electronics in
Farmingdale,
NJ may be able to repair at component level, give them a call.

Re: [RE-wrenches] module testing

2014-12-22 Thread Jarmo . Venalainen
Hi:

The "cTUVus"  mark is accredited by OSHA (NRTL), and considered equivalent 
to UL and CSA by city , county and state regulators throughout the US.

The thing to check is that the applicable "cTUVus" standard was applied. 
In this case the test needs to be the cTUVus equivalent of UL1703.

Here's a link to the TUV doc which outlines the above.

http://www.tuv.com/media/usa/nabrochures/Product_Safety.pdf

As always, the AJH has the final say.

Hola.
 
Does anyone know….For the U.S. market, is TUV certification to UL 1703 
considered adequate?
 
I’ve always thought that modules sold in the U.S. had to have actual 
testing and certification by U.L. directly or another nationally 
recognized test lab.
 
Thanks,
marco

TUV can test to UL1703 standards not just IEC standards.  UL still trys to
make a big deal about the UL mark vs all other testing labs, but any NRTL (
Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory) can certify to UL standards.  The
mark is what counts and it will state specific standards tested to, Such as
conforms to UL1703  or IEC 61730 for modules.  UL can also test to IEC
standards too.

TUV is now an OSHA NRTL: https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/nrtllist.html.

Not sure exactly when they started business in the US, but we're definitely 
seeing a lot of them.

Hola.

Does anyone knowFor the U.S. market, is TUV certification to UL 1703 
considered adequate?

I've always thought that modules sold in the U.S. had to have actual testing 
and certification by U.L. directly or another nationally recognized test lab.

Thanks,
marco

Wrenches,

 

I am looking for panels with a 20.1% efficiency rating or better, that are NOT 
Sun Power. My distributors can not acquire anything even near that. Any leads 
or resources to check would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks! 

 

Aloha,

[RE-wrenches] Panels with 20.1% efficiency rating

2014-12-22 Thread Hilton Dier
There is a theoretical physical limit for silicon based cells around 34% 
efficiency, so 20% for a whole module is quite good. 

To get past 34% researchers have gone to multi junction cells and 
concentrators, but it isn't practical for our purposes. Even with that they've 
only gotten into the low forties. 

What we really need now is not more efficient modules but cheaper mounting 
hardware. Ground mounting is getting as expensive as modules.
