Hello, I am in a very remote part of Senegal, (near the Guinea and Mali borders…) and I have come across some prefabricated “plug and play” American made systems installed for educational institutions. The systems use two Sharp panels that are 220Watts, 33.6 Voc, 29.2 Vmp, wired in seri

Previous message This confirmed my understanding that the limiting factor on the 30A switch in a photovoltaic applications is not 30A * 0.8. The limiting factor is 18A per pole or 11.5A Isc per pole. To clarify – the 18A per pole / 11.5A Isc per pole only applies if you are using the lim

Jeff, It is somewhat possible to use all ten inverters, but with some severe limitations. The best solution depends upon exactly what you've got, and what your client needs. The joy begins with the fundamental limitation of G series inverters to Classic Stack only. They parallel on the grid sid

Jeff, Could you expand on this comment, please: "We parallel Fronius inverters all the time with no problem as long as wire runs are short." Perhaps I am confused. How do you "parallel" the inverters? Does the method satisfy 690.64 (B)(1) requirements for Dedicated Overcurrent and Disconnect
