Hi Jeremy, The GJ series is a F-Frame Breaker. Rainshadow has distributed that breaker for the past 15 years. We also stock the E-Frame, Q-Frame, and D-Frame breakers that are commonly used in the solar industry. You can reach us at Rainshadowsolar.comyou can write me atjohn@. We

Kirk: Yes, the latest version of firmware in the SE inverters supports AC coupling to SMA Sunny Island, and to a degree with Magnum (off grid systems). We do not support AC coupling with Outback because they do not yet do frequency shift. If you should get an inverter with older firmware we can

[RE-wrenches] M-190s and no Insurance

2013-02-26 Thread Drake
Hello Wrenches, I have customer with very small electrical loads that we specified a very small system for. The system is slightly under 1 kW with four PV modules and four M-190 inverters. Under out net metering rules, we must provide proof of homeowner's insurance to net meter a system. A

Thanks David, that seems in line with what I’m seeing too. These are all tilted at approx. 20 deg on an unpainted flat metal roof so there is reflection that could occur in the early morning and late afternoon. I can’t help but think that this isn’t an unforeseen design consideration… Bria

HI Jeremy, Bob; That's the little strap that would slice you open if you weren't careful. That's a very hard box to work in just with one inverter. My recommendation would be to switch that box out for dual inverters. Use Outback's Flex 500, or Midnite's Notagutter. You're trying to save t

John, The time has come where I am about to install the Solaredge system w/ AC-coupling capability. The actual battery inverter & batteries will come later as an add-on. Is the Sunny Island the only battery inverter that uses the frequency shift algorithm? The Solaredge software allows the Sunn
