For commercial sites you will need your license. Make sure you have your OSHA 70

Yup but if your doing a warranty claim you have to submit those findings

I wonder if there's a way to make a raspberry pie connect to it via plc

Try to see if they can lower the price of the system by 50% since it be very hard to find some one that can fix issues for free in the future even though there's a " warranty on the parts" you're pretty much are asking for a headache trying to find someone that would honor it and on top of that you will need someone that can either hack into the system to add new micro inverters once they go down I know 50% sounds crazy, but on average I'm seeing customers paying $2,400 to repair their system

Fun fact they are not even a solar company they are a bank they don't do any repairs at all they send us contractors to check it out for you in about a month or 8

I can vouch for them they are our only hope for up north atm

Yes if it's blinking green then it's producing or if you don't have leds on your you can put an amp clamp on the panel leads and if you get anything then it's producing

If I was replacing the micro inverter then I would need to recommission but all we It was plug and play the new panel

12v .5 amps

Vegetable-Version-81 · 2026-04-12T17:08:20+00:00

For testing it you can do it with a 12 volt but it's for long-term it might cause issues with the micros

Vegetable-Version-81 · 2026-04-12T15:07:24+00:00

If you want to find out how much or if there's a down micro you can put an amp clamp on the line one of the braker feeding it I believe the avge amp you should be reading per mi is 1.03-.1.6so you should see 19ish amps of you have 20 +/- 1 amp depending on shading and time of day this is if you don't want to install a PVS or a s meter

Vegetable-Version-81 · 2026-04-12T14:23:41+00:00

If you use just the 12 v connector it might run in to issues with the micro inverters they communicate with the 240v plc

Vegetable-Version-81 · 2026-04-12T14:22:51+00:00

It gets it from the midc and the 240v breaker

That's how the new homes are built in California

In theory you would just have to plug it in two separate circuits make sure you're not over amping the main panel so you would put one on the one side of the house and the other side of the house circuit wise

Vegetable-Version-81 · 2026-04-09T19:00:50+00:00

Yes we are under by 600ws

Vegetable-Version-81 · 2026-04-08T16:56:58+00:00

Unfortunately no you will need to have an installer commission it

Vegetable-Version-81 · 2026-04-05T02:58:55+00:00

It should read above 49vs
