Re: [RE-wrenches] 1000v rated MC4's

Aloha James, If you’re not already aware of this, note that inverters that are wired with 600+ volt DC circuits require greater security measures (clearance spaces AND protective fencing) if they’re accessible to non-trained personnel. I learned this the hard way last year while

[RE-wrenches] 1000v rated MC4's

Aloha Wrenches, I am building my first 1000v system here in Oahu. I have 2kv rated wire that was available on Island, what I do not have are the 1000v rated MC4 connectors. The jacket on this wire is huge! Doe anybody know where I can order these connectors that are rated and have a larger end

Re: [RE-wrenches] Odd inverter problem

While I hope you are right. The fact that this is going on as long as it has, I’m not to sure. The answer to me is that since what ever it is, they can’t find, would be to give me/customer a reconditioned unit. I’m sure they got them. And they know that the board set in the one they are

Re: [RE-wrenches] Odd inverter problem

Hilton: I have had exactly this problem, along with several other problems, with the Solectria inverters. I document them all in a web page: http://www.millersolar.com/MillerSolar/case_studies/Solectria/Solectria.html I had a lengthy series of exchanges with Solectria and received a lot

[RE-wrenches] Solectria PVI 5200 mounting

Hello Wrenches, I have a perplexing problem with a PVI 5200 and I can't get to the front of the tech support line at Solectria. The inverter has the usual backplate for mounting: bolt the backplate to the wall, lift the inverter, drop the slots on the back of the inverter onto the tabs on
