Any chance for solar resource monitoring to help the data make sense? Irradiance monitoring is necessary to understand performance. Does SolarEdge have that option yet?
Bill. -----Original Message----- From: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto:re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org] On Behalf Of Pekka Laine Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2011 11:33 AM To: re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Subject: [RE-wrenches] SolarEdge Hello everyone, I have installed four SolarEdge systems so far and am happy share my experiences My first installation is available for public monitoring via monitoring.solaredge.com. It consists of 26 Aleo s_1.8 225W modules, 26 PowerBoxes installed on Unirac solarmount rail and SolarEdge 5000US inverter. It was commissioned on June 6,2010 and has produced 6.3 MWh of total energy. Pros: Module level monitoring Centralized inverter Safety voltage for servicing the system Free internet monitoring & iPhone application Cons: Additional wire management and zip-tieing to the racking system Homerun is DC so it needs to be inside conduit (vs. Enphase) Tip: Remember to write down your serial numbers for PowerBoxes before installing the modules. I am happy to answer any other questions as well. Best regards, Pekka Laine President Photon Solar Power Inc. www.PhotonSolarPower.com Cell. 760-556-8170 Toll Free 888-SUN-ACDC Lic. #933648 Hello, Can anyone speak to real-life pros and/or cons of Solaredge module MPPT products and performance?
