Howie is absolutely right. Strings with different orientations on the same MPPT are not a problem. Modules with different orientations on the same string is a big problem. Search the archives here and you'll find a good discussion on this. The short version is that voltage is a function of temp, wh

Already been caught on this one. The inverter/charger is a Magnum MME with a Honda 3000i. Adding a load to the Honda drops the Hz reading in half, but still some high harmonic of the real reading, and the Magnum still rejects it. Glad I didn't spend the $900 on the new honda module now! Didn't tak

I recently had a costly lesson with one of these usually sweet gensets - With a good and fast meter like my Fluke 189 you can get wacky Hz readings. I had one that the inverter would not accept. checked V and Hz and saw the Hz at over 1000. Talked to Honda service center and they confirmed that

That’s great feedback. We don’t have enough experience yet to confirm, but I’ll take your word for it. The thermal performance is great news with the temperature issues we have in SW Florida. Jason Szumlanski Fafco Solar *From:* re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org [mailto: re-wrenche
