Re: Some of my Arrays are Outputting Volts but no Amps. Why?
I would guess that these panels have Bypass diodes, but no series/blocking diodes. Modern crystalline panels should all have bypass diodes. And probably no modern larger format panel would not have b…1 · -
Re: Some of my Arrays are Outputting Volts but no Amps. Why?
That is correct... I had something like 50% or more of my solar panels fail to pass current (or rated current). Basically, there is a problem with many BP panels of the era where the junction box int…1 · -
Re: real-time load shedding
My guess is that the inverters just do not have surge capabilities (magnetics saturate, internal resistance drops voltages so much that regulation circuit cannot maintain voltages, etc.). So, from th…1 · -
Re: What's best way to DOWNsize 200A load center to 150A one for a 10KW solar system install
Power harvest wise--1% is a "don't care" situation (you are doing well if you can measure your power output within 2-5% accuracy). And the variability in weather/etc. swamp any meaning…1 · -
Re: What's best way to DOWNsize 200A load center to 150A one for a 10KW solar system install
Some people oversize the inverter (for future expansion, run cooler at lower than rated power). So, if your array is only 1/2 the inverter's rating, then you would get 1/2 the rated power/curren…1 ·
