Spending more time on the roof, while putting more equipment and parts to meet MLPE, means more trips up the ladder, which increases, not decreases the #1 worker safety danger: Falls. Please correct me if I have somehow misunderstood this, but MLPE is not making installers safer based on OSHA

5 kva max, no surge regardless of use. A rather large shortcoming for a battery inverter. I’m guessing they were thinking more of battery sell mode vs powering loads directly, but just a guess. Jay Peltz power > On May 6, 2020, at 6:31 PM, Dave Tedeyan wrote: > >  > Is the 5kw limit

Hi DaveThe 5kW limit is the inverter power rating; that's all the solar or battery power it can generate. Asking for more than that won't trip a breaker, the voltage will start to sag. The grid breaker is 50 amps, so when the grid is present the loads should be able to draw (50 amps) x (240 volts)

Is the 5kw limit and no surge capacity for the backed up AC loads only when operating off grid? If you occasionally trip a breaker during the relatively rare times when the grid is out (around here at least) it is not such a big deal. But if you had to deal with that daily, you would have to be

Interestingly enough, the data on the link [9] provided shows accidents from gas explosions, falls, health problems and industrial injuries. None of these incidents could have been prevented by module level power electronics. This is typical of the data that I've seen so far. --- On

There could be an issue of encouraging MLPE for worker safety? 1. This is data involving incidents with workers in the OSHA Fatalities and Catastrophe Investigation Summaries found here:

I have used 4 of the 3.6 kw and 4 kw units. They have all worked flawlessly. They have been well vetted by Sunrun. David On Tue, May 5, 2020 at 1:27 PM Jay wrote: > Hi all, > > Are there any comments about Solis inverters? > > Specifically the 10kw single phase? > > GINLONG,
