[RE-wrenches] Aims Power inverers
Hello wrenches, Does anyone have insight or experience with AIMS power inverters? Are they reliable?

Re: [RE-wrenches] SMA WebBox - Bluetooth vs RS485
thanks for the feedback, everybody! On 2013/8/30 21:42, Jesse Dahl wrote: I have two installed so far, 0 issues. One is 5 feet from the inverter one is around 50 feet away. Lots to like!

Two dials to adjust, one in the inverter, one on the web box, to set the channel. No experience with the Bluetooth sensor box so chime in on results when you know more.

I'm guessing it'll be about a 20' max triangle between the SB1TL, WebBox, and SensorBox. Likely using a Sprint modem for the internet connection. Thanks in advance and hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Re: [RE-wrenches] double-insulated PV wire
I believe the only requirement for single exposed source circuit conductors in an ungrounded PV system (which encompasses TL inverter systems) is that they be listed (PV) wire until they reach an enclosure/raceway. That's a paraphrase of 2011 690.35 (D). Double insulated wires are not mentioned specifically, some listed PV wire is double insulated, some is not. Marco is right, in that some modules have listed PV wire whips, others just use USE-2 or similar. If you don't want to get dinged by the rare inspector that actually checks these things (essentially non-existent here in Ohio), you better make sure your modules comply. This is my understanding at least.

Some mods have 'em, some do not.

If one can position transition boxes close enough to the modules, you can use only the leads from the modules, avoiding the need to buy any PV wire. It is surprisingly easy to do. See: http://www.millersolar.com/MillerSolar/practices/PV_wiring/PV_Cable_wiring/_ PV_Cable_Wiring.html WM double-insulated wire has to be used from the module series string to the first enclosure and enclosed raceway where the transition to standard THHN/THWN wire can be made. marco _ No virus found in this message.
