Re: [RE-wrenches] PID and iLumen

Hi Marco - You might want to check with SunPower again, my understanding is that they are planning on releasing a PID solution (it might be the iLumen PIDbox). I don't know about timing or other details at this point. Best, August Luminalt On Fri, Mar 10, 2023 at 5:23 PM Marco Mangelsdorf via RE-

[RE-wrenches] PID buggers

Aloha all, For those of us solar peeps who have installed positive grounded SunPower mods years ago that require grounding in order to perform properly, I/we have been impatiently waiting for SunPower or *someone* to offer a device (see attached) to allow for the pairing of positively ground arrays

Hi Drake, There are a few papers that go into PID, including one form SMA (simple google search). http://solarenergy.advanced-energy.com/upload/File/White_Papers/ENG-PID-270-01%20web.pdf http://files.sma.de/dl/7418/PID-PVOBox-TI-en-10.pdf In short, it mostly depends on the module construction and

My 2 cents worth here says that this PID problem is the same as the negative ground problem that occurred with the Sun Power modules that wanted to be positive grounded. Last I heard, from Sun Power was that they have basically gotten around that issue and are "ground agnostic" as either S
