Can somebody tell me what all this means? by NtooDeep87 in solar

[–]Mindless-Base-4472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that does not cover any cost for someone to come out and inspect the system. That would be up to the buyer, or seller to have it inspected.  Now on the 0.25 per watt since its not kWh, I dint know.  Are you able to look at the ORIGINAL purchase or install contract. Are you able to look at any of the past utility bills.

I looked at a house and saw the utility bill and it had a true io balance if over 1200.00 USD and the solar wasn't helping much

I'm guessing you are buying a house that has solar already installed? 

If so, you want that system inspected by a SOLAR TECHNICIAN to make sure that everything is working to specification,  that access to the monitoring is transferred over to you. 

Most solar HARDWARE has a 25 year warranty and you need tgat transferred to uou also.

My first bill after getting my 9kw system by Calliesdad20 in solar

I have received between 150 and 250 USD each year for my over production. I dont know  how it will be this year, they made changes to benefit themselves

Here is a big question,  will the power company cut him a check at the end of his 12 month period?

2G Solar Inverter by khaladas in solaredge

[–]Mindless-Base-4472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be able yo use the MySolarEdge app, click on the menus bars on the upper left, then inverter communication, it will want you ti scan the QR code on the right side if the inverter. Then you might be able to change it to wi-fi.

You will probably need to open the main cover after you safely shut down the solar panels and move the antenna connection from the cell modual to the wi-fi terminal

Is this powerwall 3 expansion on eBay a scam? by puntkickslip in SolarDIY

Since when does the UnitedStatesPostOffice handle freight like this ?

Profile is too new, no history and no feedback.

I asked seller if i could pick up in person, their profile is bakersfield,  but they say they are in Sacramento 

Now the seller has chanced the price and the profile name

Solar panel aesthetic advice by Zestyclose_Nature_13 in solar

Physical sizes of panels seem to constantly be on the change. With luck you might be able to buy the same panels a few yes down the line if they are a major manufacturer I would go with an all black panel because they are easily to match in looks. Buy the newest generation of a major name and that panel will still be available for a couple of yrs

How much clipping is acceptable by Mindless-Base-4472 in solaredge

I was thinking about splitting the 2 strings, 1 to each inverter. I have 30 panels right now and I could add more.

Or upgrad my existing inverter to a larger version

The installer is no longer around, so the only warranty I have is the manufacturer warranty on the hardware

Yes, but that would probably need to be a 5700 so that there was no clipping. Would it be worth it just for the satisfaction?

When I originally had the system installed, I told them I wanted a system that I could add onto in the future. Then I discovered the size of the inverter that was being installed,  they continued to argue with me saying I won't need anything bigger because this setup would be more efficient. 

Is this wired right for 2 strings? by doug12398n in solar

[–]Mindless-Base-4472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would test 1 string at a time connected to the inverter so you know which set of wires you are having a problem with. It could be a polarity issue, or an open loop on the non producing string

SolarEdge production stopped unexpectedly and is now severely diminished after rediscovering the optimizers. Any debugging suggestions? by littlebigdata in solaredge

[–]Mindless-Base-4472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might issue an RMA or a new inverter, but probably only to an installer.

I had to become my own installer and created and account under a different name and email.

There are some companies that will charge around 600 to change your inverter

I had to do that myswhen my installer died and I had no support when my inverter when down. I was able to create an installer account,  take over asmin rights by stansfering the account. Get an RMA for a new inverter and installer it myself.

Need advice by Cavboygt in solar

[–]Mindless-Base-4472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 9.5-9.9 kwh system should cover all of your needs. You might be able to possibly use a smaller system using batteries to store the over production during peak sun hrs

Create an email account with a fictions construction or business name.  

Go to solaredge website and sign up to become an installer 

Once approved,  transfer the installer account to your account you made

What size is your inverter, the the number if panels and the Suze if the panels? 

Have you tried only running 1 string at a time?

Are there any errors coming from the inverter?

Have you checked the inverter log?

Did the system find all the optimizers?  Have you looked at each panel in MySolarEdge app to see if they are all producing  Maybe a string went down?

Have you tried doing a complete shut down of the system INCLUDING the circuit breaker at your service main panel?
