two strings of different voltages my new array installed today which i havent paid for has two different voltages 15 volts different 12 panels per string 24 panels is that ok or normal i think thats outside manufacters tolerances help any ideas
thanks in australia 24 panels canadian solar 270 watt inverter sunny tripower sma three phase dual mppt input roof shallow pitch north face no shade 30 to 40 degrees celcius thats hot in farenheight just fittted by company not grid tied yet thats today 15 volts diference on sma screen betweeen the two srtings company says as one string was on roof for 4 hours and second string only two hours string one heated up more which reduced output this is possable as cooling panels in hot climates can give a lot more power ive done it years ago cant remember figure but was maybe 10to 20% built my first pv system in 1984 mr chan says heat max accounts for 4% panel manufacters spec is 5 w over 270 watt during install no commisioning was done on each panel and as comissioning says go home come back next day when full sun fresh minds and clear heads appriciate your thoughts thankyou ric downunder
fixed! even voltages panels that wake up in the sun together lose efficiencey due to heat build up at the same rate panels still in the box for two hours longer ie cooler work better till they heat up the company guru was correct although the installer had not seen before the usa solar panel commisioning hand book while doesnt allude to this phernomon is still very wise and a good short read thankyou for this forum collected 27k from 12pm on ie half a day i think i may have a bit more western orrientation happening as we have the honor of the dearest power in the country and third highest world wide soon well be number one! looking at home battery now hoping goverment will subsdise home micro power station battey packs allowing home owners to feed back into own failing grid system which is damaged beyound repair by the greenies the govt subed 1000 tesla 1 walls in june last year grid is at crisis point now and much disscusion happening yours ric downunder now were,s my model s lol
as we have the honor of the dearest power in the country and third highest world wide soon well be number one!
looking at home battery now hoping goverment will subsdise home micro power station battey packs allowing home owners to feed back into own failing grid system which is damaged beyound repair by the greenies
Keep in mind that to 99.99% of the people in the world, you are one of the greenies.
lol i know warm fuzzies to all but i think before stamping out the brown coal fire that runs thier soy latie machine they should have at least checked if an alternative was running deep pressure water storage looks interesting storage idea ta ric
"deep pressure water storage" is what ? Water cannot be pressurized like air, it does not compress. You build pressure from the weight of the water column height.

Can you tell us a bit more about your system? What GT inverter, what Vmp/Imp solar panels you have, etc.?
-Bill
roof shallow pitch north face no shade 30 to 40 degrees celcius thats hot in farenheight
just fittted by company not grid tied yet thats today
15 volts diference on sma screen betweeen the two srtings
company says as one string was on roof for 4 hours and second string only two hours string one heated up more which reduced output
this is possable as cooling panels in hot climates can give a lot more power ive done it years ago cant remember figure but was maybe 10to 20% built my first pv system in 1984
mr chan says heat max accounts for 4%
panel manufacters spec is 5 w over 270 watt
during install no commisioning was done on each panel
and as comissioning says go home come back next day when full sun fresh minds and clear heads
appriciate your thoughts
thankyou ric downunder
even voltages
panels that wake up in the sun together lose efficiencey due to heat build up at the same rate
panels still in the box for two hours longer ie cooler work better till they heat up
the company guru was correct although the installer had not seen before
the usa solar panel commisioning hand book while doesnt allude to this phernomon is still very wise and a good short read
thankyou for this forum
collected 27k from 12pm on ie half a day
i think i may have a bit more western orrientation happening

hoping goverment will subsdise home micro power station battey packs allowing home owners to feed back into own failing grid system
which is damaged beyound repair by the greenies

grid is at crisis point now and much disscusion happening
yours ric downunder
now were,s my model s lol
