Hi Roy and others, A very worrisome situation. I’m wondering if anyone who’s had this problem has not been using OpticsRE. IE is the problem somehow related to RE? Thanks jay peltz power > On Dec 14, 2016, at 2:19 PM, Roy Rakobitsch wrote: > > Hello William, Its very frustrating to deal wi

Dan, I stand corrected on my advice. This Franklin document describes a MonoDrive 2W model. 2W stands for 2-wire pump! I didn’t know it existed. http://franklinwater.com/media/116400/225417101_m1560_sd_manual_05-13_web.pdf Nevertheless, I would expect inferior results and would not use it to r

Hello William, Its very frustrating to deal with this sort of thing. I have been running a Mate3 with Optics and I have to say, Its gotten a lot better than it was in the beginning! (however, there are still a few bugs, specifically with 3.015.003. I have been running 3.015.001 and its been mostly

Friends! We have been installing the SMA-40 inverters lately. We like the physical layout of the inverters. They have built in wifi capabilities. On paper this sounds good. In practice this part of the inverters have been working like crap. We have multiple sites that are experiencing on going

HI Matt, How does UL deal with fixing this? I seem to remember that on AC modules ( not sure what you call a SE/integrated module) that you had to replace the inverter/module as a unit. Hopefully thats no longer the case. jay peltz power > On Dec 14, 2016, at 7:51 AM, Matt Partymiller > wr

Re: [RE-wrenches] SMA 40 series DC disconnect

2016-12-14 Thread William Miller
Bill: That is exactly my point. Carports and ground-mounts do not need RS, but any system requires safe means to disconnect DC. So how do you accomplish this with the 40 series? Sure, using the DC connector is one way to disconnect the DC input to the 40 series electronics. However, the se

William, I’m not sure you meant to imply this, but carports and groundmounts do not need any RS equipment unless you were to bring the dc conductors into a building, which would not be smart. The 2017 NEC allows connectors to be used as isolation devices for equipment as long as the circ

August, Great question. Canadian Solar makes a module with SolarEdge optimizers integral. Trina offers a similar product with Tigos integral. I think both products would allow the string architecture you like while incorporating rapid shutdown. I have found these solutions to be less expensive

Hi Wrenches, We are adopting the 2014 NEC in just a few weeks and will be installing NEC 690.12 rapid shutdown compliant systems for all permits pulled on or after Jan 1 2017. I thought I’d take a quick poll to see what equipment you are all planning on using to comply with rapid shutdown for yo
