Hi, could it be a soft grid issue? Where if you put power into the grid, it changes voltages? Measure the grid voltage using a recording meter like an Egauge, use the one (1) second scale (10 minutes regestar). Sorry if this is of no help. On Mon, Mar 29, 2021 at 5:58 PM Tump wrote: > Folks I

I'm with you guys and we actually had a bad transformer bushing at this site initially which was causing exactly that issue. The site still runs high (498-508Vac nominal) but is well below the 528V default upper limit of the TLs, and the shut-offs are not correlated with higher AC voltages. Also t

It sure looks like it could be an AC voltage issue. Around here the utility voltage is often high in the morning and then gets dragged down when loads in the neighborhood spike from air conditioning (yes, even in winter here in Florida). We see drop-outs (with other brand inverters) in the mid-morn

Andrew, I've seen this in multiple inverter systems when the AC voltage gets pushed outside the upper limit by the inverter output currents. One or two inverters will cycle on-off, those with the lowest setting or tolerance. Cause can be (1) high AC voltage from the utility to start with, and/or

Andrew What is the AC Voltage when this occurs, to much VAC will shut down the inverter. It also looks like you are clipping all the inverters during the mid day, is due to low temps or does this always happen. What is the DC MPPT voltage, is it at the upper limit. Jerry NABCEP PV inspector On Tue

We have two resi. units installed (one at my house) and they seem to be doing well w/ less than 1 yr. They've made some needed upgrades for optional landing of a single larger pre-combined PV source circuit in addition to the individual 15amp series string fusing. The power stage does not easily
