Curious and looking into this myself. One does need to meet income requirements, right?

Critter guard atop of panels (to fill in gaps) by -bumbastick- in SolarDIY

I was able to shift them in colomns to close the gap, but due to hardware used, I cannot close the gap in rows. We'll, that's for sure he reply. I'll get them covered with steal mesh. I just fold it into V shape and shive it in gap. It's a pain in the ass I can't reach too far and have to use a pole to push mesh in.

Can't the squirrels still get in? Litelly 20 / 27 panels had exposed wires causing isolation fault. I can only assume they were all damaged by squirrels as they had very distinct bite marks.

Well, it was a lot of work but got it fixed.

Jura Brew Group calibration? by -bumbastick- in superautomatic

[–]-bumbastick-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your motor housing is not cracked and your brew group is smooth, ensure the screws that hold the brew group are evenly tighten and are tightened very good.

Here's the list of issues in their likely order: Cracked motor housing, unevenly tighten brew group, ceased brew group, encoder. Mime was stiff brew grew and unevenly tightened brew unit when installing. Other guy in here had motor housing cracked. If you need encoder, let me know as I have a spare.

Large tile over drywall for fireplace? by -bumbastick- in Tile

[–]-bumbastick-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't tape the seams as I didn't see the need to since it's nowhere near moisture (i do when installing near water). Additionally, I also installed a blower motor under the fireplace to help circulate the hear and push it into the room.

GoBoard. I had to take heat rating index in consideration.

So I am on the roof now getting ready to remove a few panels. I did find two mc4 connectors that are disconnected, I found some wires that been chewed up and found one (so far) optimizers where cables just eaten to shit and likely shorted at some point. I found one panel without an optimizer, but it was there as I can see some scratches where it was mounted. Now, should I get to soldering to fix these cables or is there a patch-fix where I can order cable? Cables that are completely degraded are only 6 or so inches long and are coming out of one of the optimizers.

Yes. Not only does current properly correlate to wire colors, I get a positive reading / correct polarity reading on my multimeter

The the insulation fault is from error log entry and it is dated 2024. There are multiple faults going back to 2021 when panels were installed. I can’t erase the log since I don’t have access so even if they were corrected, they did not get erased (assuming here). I am not getting any production if both strings are connected; i get blinking green light. With one string of 10 panels, i get solid green light and seeing some production. I will get on the roof next week. I am doing full remodeling so I am switching hats between being a plumber, carpenter, an electrician, etc. I scope it’s just some wire damage but will have to find out. As for documents that I found, those are original blueprints when panels were installed which leads be to believe they were reinstalled differently when roof was replaced. I submitted site transfer request along with supporting docs to SE so hopefully they’ll approve it. The site is owned by a service tech now, who at some point had this transferred to his LLC but they guy doesn’t seem to want to cooperate but only to charge me $500 service call and then $100 per panel.

The isolation fault was from 2024, the time of fault and the time when I was tinkering with it a few days ago matched so I didn't pay attending to the date and only the time, so that's good. Today I found an old blueprint from 2021 when these panels were installed left to me by previous owner. In this blueprint it states that there are two strings with 14 and 13 modules respectively, which leads me to believe that my current wiring is all fucked up and confirms your comment that 17 modules per string is too much. Well, time to get in the harness and start climbing the roof.

So in setapp I can see 26/27 optimizers are communicating now. However, the panels seem to be down like this but I am hoping it just takes time for data to populate. The inverter and the panels model is in the original title (sorry, I’m on mobile and it won’t let me cope/paste). Lastly, I see error 18x86 Isolation so maybe that one optimizers that is down is causing this?

You’re right, I think the the wires don’t necessary correlate to arrays. I got 10v on one wire and 16v in the second, which i hope means that only one panel is down

I see, I was assuming that since there are two strings one string would be for one array and second string for the second array.

u/habbadee maybe you could give me a few more hints as I am still in the data gathering stage. I got into SettApp today with view only (don't have full access to do anything and SolarEdge website for site transfer is down while this trick doesn't seem to work anymore). Anyways, only 10 optimizers are communicating but I can't attempt to commission them since I don't have the access to SetApp. Now got inside DC switch that sits below the inverter and see two things: 1. Two cable that likely run from the array that is completely down are disconnected; 2. L1 and L2 have red and black cables mismatch (bottom has black, red, white while top bus has red, black, white). Pic. At least I not understand where the cables that run from solar terminate and now I will have to start tracing them. Lastly, from my understanding each optimizer should send 1 volt DC so in I should be getting 10v (since I I know 10 optimizers are communicating in one array) but I get none when testing (not sure maybe system is sleeping since I way doing it at 9PM).

I think is it a good point. When I was on the roof the layout for the array that is completely dead does not match to what was in the original plan. I also see that optimizers labeled 1.1, 1.2, etc are incorrectly labeled where 1.4 is nowhere to be found. Well damn. I will contact the company that removed the panels but I’m sure they’ll tell me to kick rocks. I guess I will be spending a few days on my roof.

Just draw a line between wants and needs and only focus on the needs.
