Re: [RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k solar panel frame grounding

SolArk arrays are ungrounded. However, because they are transformerless, when the inverter is operating, there is a reference to ground on the DC side via the AC side neutral bond to ground. So, a ground fault on the AC side will also cause a GF error. Many transformerless interactive inverters

2020 NEC® identification requirements in 690.31(B)(2) state that "Only solidly grounded PV system dc circuit conductors shall be marked in accordance with 200.6." (200.6 is Means of Identifying Grounded Conductors") If the circuit is nonsolidly grounded, then positive conductors can be identified

White PV wire was something we used to sell often, but that demand has dropped off in the last 5 years or so and always wondered why. Thanks for sharing William Sunny Regards, [Description: Description: PV-Cables_Logo_Transparent_Bkgnd_140x140] Bryan Norkunas PV-Cables Inc. 989 Milton Ave Ste

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k solar panel frame grounding

Friends: On a related subject, I was researching the question: What color should my grounded PV conductor be? History: In the beginning, negative leads were always black. When it became apparent that negative PV leads were indeed grounded, the requirement to have them white or grey

Hi Howie, Text from FB user Scott Shadle Sol-Ark owners Information network: Migration update (edit at 10 am central...my plant is now populating the new solark app. So...hang in there) Just had a very nice call with Sol Ark tech support. He suggested that perhaps my Facebook update would

Today they tried launching their monitoring migration from Inteless/PVPro to Mysolark/solarkcloud.com I had several sites throwing multiple bogus error codes and concerned homeowners calling my staff all morning. SolArk tech support probably drowning in that Error codes:: F49 Backup_Battery_Fault

[RE-wrenches] IRS Audit

I had to look into this once and it really isn't any more complex than the statement. It's not about UL listing or whatever. Does it generate electricity from solar? Is it installed on or connected to an occupied residential home? The restriction is that it has to be just the system itself. If

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k solar panel frame grounding

This is a partial backup scenario and the main service panel has a solid neutral to ground bond. I have not been able to find anywhere else where there is a bond, but there is always the chance that there is a neutral wire in a switch box or outlet box somewhere in the house that is touching an

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k solar panel frame grounding

Hi Jason, You should be able to land your PV EGC in the inverter ground bar. You could do a quick resistance check to verify the +, - PV Is there a bond somewhere (upstream service panel or in the Sol-Ark itself) between ground and neutral? If not, this can cause this fault. On Wed, Jun 5,

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k solar panel frame grounding

I usually get the 08 GFDI error when I haven’t bonded neutral to ground downstream. (Typically because I booted up the inverter after DC connection but before any AC wires are landed.) That goes away once it is fully commissioned. I get the F23 - Tz_GFCI_OC_Fault If is related to the PV array,

[RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k solar panel frame grounding

Can anybody clarify the following instruction from the manual? "GND the panel MOUNTS/FRAMES to any GND outside the circuit via 12AWG wire" Does this mean do not connect the array equipment grounding conductor to the grounding terminal in the inverter? Where would be the suggested place to
