​You can also buy roofing granules by the 5 gallon bucket. Keep a few colors in the warehouse and a baggie of each on the truck.​ Three colors are close enough for just about every roof (gray, light brown, reddish brown around here). 6x6 sheets of 28ga aluminum are very handy for this, and they co

We’ve had a similar experience as Carl has on this. We have 929 kW of SE up and running (mix of commercial and residential, so roughly 2000 actual optimizers) with only a handful of DOA’s or infant mortalities (total of maybe 10-15 so far). Service is reimbursed just like you say (does not truly

The aluminum flashing sounds great. I will fill the holes with sealant, re-insert the nails/screws and then cover all the screw heads with sealant and smooth it out. If I can scoop some clean aggregate out of the gutter then I spread it over the smoothed sealant and it blends in so you don't ev

Lena, We've been installing the Solar Edge product for a few years now and are experiencing good reliability. I think we have had 2 optimizers which were DOA from the factory. One was completely dead the other had a 25% reduced output. No problems with warranty replacements. With Regards Carl

[RE-wrenches] Solar Edge Optimizer failures

2016-01-08 Thread Lena Wilensky
We've had a strange set of recurring failures from one Solaredge install. It's a straightforward 5kw system with 20 x REC 255W modules and P300-5 SE optimizers. System was commissioned in 11/2014 and ran fine for about 6mo. At that time one optimizer failed - gave module short circuit voltage on

If the customer is very particular, we'll replace the shingle. But most of the time we just put in an aluminum flashing under the shingle. -Dave *--* *Dave Tedeyan* *Project Engineer* *Taitem Engineering, PC* 109 S. Albany Street, Ithaca, NY 14850 Voice: (607) 277-1118 x121 www.taitem.com On
