Re: [RE-wrenches] GT inverter for SWWP turbine

Same disastrous experience here as well with the Skyboxes.

We installed three – I now own them as I replaced them at my expense with 
another competing product.

Worse solar product I dealt with in the last 15 years.

Skybox is discontinued and tech support is limited. There are still significant 
software issues with them that make them unreliable for battery back-up. We are 
in the process of replacing the 3 Skyboxes we wish we had never installed.

Have you (or any Wrench willing to share) installed SkyBox? If so, can you 
share your experience good or bad? 

 

Can you compare it to Sol-Ark? I’ve installed a half-dozen Sol-Arks but no 
SkyBox yet. I think I have a customer where SkyBox would be a good fit, but not 
enough personal data.  

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jeremy,

Sol ark and Outback skybox. 
Might be others. 

It might be tricky dealing with the wind machine w/o batteries.

go straight grid tie and ditch the batteries and off grid system (even though 
it’s all in perfect working order).  Anyone know of an inverter that we could 
use to accomplish this goal?

[RE-wrenches] Enphase IQ8+ max continuous output

2022-08-11 Thread Carl Adams via RE-wrenches 
Hello Wrenches,
I am having an issue with a utility submission.  We are using the IQ8+ on
the project.  The SolarEdge Spec sheet shows 0.290 kW as max continuous
output.  The utility rejected this saying they are using 0.298 kW based on
the CA energy commission rating.  Looking for clarification or if anyone
else has run into this issue.
Here is the link to the SC commission rating


With Kind Regards
