Re: [RE-wrenches] Ideas and racking systems for "stowing" ground mount PV array during snowy winter?

I have found that after the first year the customer, after fighting w/ tilt up legs, that the array will usually end up in a single angle. It would seem to me w/ the # of proposed modules you look at a motorized tilt option. There are companies, that design & build this type of rack for commer

[RE-wrenches] MPPT voltage changes

Schnieder MPPT 100/600 charge controllers have in their menu a place to change the “MPPT” voltage setting from 600VDC down to 195VDC. In doing so all it seems to do is disable the controller and displays the screens; operating , not charging. I was trying to use this setting as I have a small ar

I have heard this too. Eric from SE has been cced here and the first thing I was told to due was: Set inverter to bypass (someone needs to be on site, as the inverter will shut off during reboot) Check & update firmware, RESET ALL factory defaults and reenter your grid code. If you find this a

Re: [RE-wrenches] Old Trace SW inverter connected to the grid.

I have neve heard that but I would connect the utility to the AC1 input as the window is quite narrow then the grid. The GTI was a piss poor way for trace to regulate “sell” current would ramp up & back down all day long. NOT necessary. BUT then again that old duffer; SH probably has more brain

I would suggest that adding additional batteries to increase battery voltages is fine 48 to 54V or what ever, I too have used this many times on very remote sites. Please also increase your inverters hi voltage cut out settings, as this can be a real bummer having the system shut down in full su

Mick, I would avoid trying to use a manufacture that has little NO support OR product availability. IF your using the Schnieder Pros, I would suggest you consider the 600/100 CC. This product is more then capable of handling 7kW of input. They are available, compatible w/ their (Schnieder’s) ba
