inverter

I have 2 arrays on 2 SMA inverters. One is 500v single string and the other is paralleled 2 x 300v strings. I have just lost one of my arrays via SMA 2500. It is lit but no power generation. I replaced with spare Steca which would not work as it needs more PV voltage so I had to swop over the...

Good evening all - I used to be a member of this forum ages ago, but couldn't work out what my username and old email address was, so decided it was easier to register again. Many years ago, (2012?) at home I had installed a 4kw system - 20 panels with a Diehl AKO Platinum Inverter 4300S. We...

Just a quick one before taking the inverter back. Recently we got an 12v to 230v inverter but started getting a shock off the casing. Tested it and around 80v but sometimes up to 120v. Is there something that can be done or is the inverter faulty

Recently had fitted Solar Edge and notice their monitor gives a reading but the meter used to obtain my feed in tariff gives a lower figure and this is the one I am paid on not the solar edge inverter.So why the difference? this could cost a lot of money over the years.
