Re: [RE-wrenches] Shade Mitigating DC Device Application (Matt Lafferty)

Why bother with the DC converters if you only have 2 strings? Get a wide-range, dual-channel inverter (Power One 5000) and plug in the modules however you like. The bypass diodes in the modules will bypass the shaded module sections as appropriate for the conditions, and rest of the modules

The original rhyme was in the direction, of Sunny Island; I sense an election to factor some batteries into the mix. Batteries would alter the technology fix. William addresses the western hill, but seems to exclude the battery pill. So, what is it, Matt, kindly decipher, if batteries are out or

[RE-wrenches] Sync problem

Hello Wrenches, I was under the impression that he Honda EU series of inverter generators could synchronize with the grid tie VFX inverters. I tried to do this today with a 2000 EU, and the inverter would not accept the power. The generator has low hours on it. Does anyone know why the two won't

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sync problem

Make sure it does not have any 'eco-throttle' setting engaged. This is a feature where it idles down when there is no load detected - I think it is an option on this model too. Glenn Burt -Original Message- From: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org
