Re: [RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k

That's a different scenario, as a 100A genny would have a 100A OCPD. I understand that the inverter output rating is limited, but what section of code allows a 200A breaker to protect a #4 wire? On Fri, Apr 15, 2022 at 9:26 PM Jerry Shafer via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org>

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k

You must meet all expected source output potentials within the design and operating limits, as long as the distribution panel and connected wiring is rated for the max output of the protected source then you are good. A 200 ATS connected to a 10 kW genny does not require 2/0 as it will never meet t

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k

Hi Jason, You bring up a valid point….in an off-grid scenario with the 15k do you size the conductors to the continuous capacity, surge capacity or the OCPD of the unit? -Chris On Fri, Apr 15, 2022 at 4:01 PM Jason Szumlanski via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > P.S. IC

I’ve been following the enphase thread. I’ve used AP systems before and so far reliable and much less expensive. Their new DS3 inverters are much less expensive and larger capacity But to the point of starting voltage MPPT range and watts DS3 voltage range: DS3 S/L 16-60v, DS3 26-60v MPPT ra

I wonder if anyone can tell me which is the correct setting for 240v 60hz w/neutral on a fronius primo. The manual doesn’t have the same options as the inverter. I don’t need California or Hawaii settings. Thanks Jay ___ List sponsored by Redwood A

Re: [RE-wrenches] Enphase Legacy micro replacement

Kirk, We have seen many of the conversion kits not work out of the box. I believe it is a firmware/software mismatch issue. If you call Enphase, ask them to make sure the Envoy software is compatible with the conversion kit microinverter and update all software. This should resolve the issue. Jas

[RE-wrenches] Enphase Legacy micro replacement

I have been dealing with a legacy Enphase system ever since the installation about 11-12 years ago. And I stopped using Enphase after the massive failure rate of these first gen M190 inverters. Almost all of them have been replaced at least once, the good news is I only have about -15- of the origi

I'm not following the wiring diagrams for this new inverter. It has 200A pass-through capability with an integrated 200A load disconnect. But then it says the wire gauge for the load out wiring can be #4 to 2/0. In an off-grid scenario where there is no generator, the max continuous output is 62.5

[RE-wrenches] Removing paint from solar modules

Hi Wrenches, We had some painters try to paint a house in 35 mph winds and (of course) the overspray got onto some recently installed solar modules. They were using a latex water-based exterior paint. Are there any mild solvents you might recommend to help clean this up? Or just elbow grease?
