Re: [RE-wrenches] Enphase Raw Q Cable

Yes, for sure UF would work. But I was wishfully thinking there was an alternative cable for using Enphase's field wirable connectors. Type TC 12/2 cable is pretty identical to Enphase's DG cable from what I can tell, but it does not carry the -ER designation. On the other hand, I don't really see

Fronius Galvo can be positively grounded. But the instructions literally say to take the factory-installed fuse (neg to ground) and install it between positive and ground “outside the inverter.” Brian > On Oct 14, 2020, at 4:10 PM, Ray wrote: > >  > The Midnite Solar Classic Controller used

The Midnite Solar Classic Controller used to be able to be positive grounded.  The Classic 250 can do five 60 cell modules in series. Ray Walters Remote Solar 303 505-8760 On 10/14/20 3:18 PM, Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar wrote: I got around this for a client by adding an XW and the high

I got around this for a client by adding an XW and the high voltage MPPT. It has a positive ground option and it worked well. Scheider now has a 100a Mppt version BTW. Pretty easy way to solve it and add batteries. Use a Radian also if the FM100 can be negative grounded. Dave Angelini Offgrid

Hi Louis, As Marco mentioned, this is a pain point for long term SunPower "friends." First, we are still able to source isolated (transformer based) inverters through SunPower. I think the last few we got were SMA Sunny Boys. That seems like your best bet. I believe Enphase has a device that can

Argh...this is an ongoing, as in years' long, pain point with my long time SunPower friends. They've been looking into a device that would go between the old style non-Maxeon cell module strings and TL inverter that would effectively dissipate the polarization charge every night. And we've been
