Hi. I've recently passed an EESS course with LCL snd just done my first inverter and battery install with parts supplied by the customer.
My question is what are the inverters, batteries and solar panels people are recommending? The inverter I installed was a SOLIS paired with a Pylon tech...
Hi
Doing my first Inverter and Battery install on a domestic property having just completed my EESS course with LCL.
Question is how do I install a bi directional RCD/RCBO at the distribution board to supply and feed back power from the the inverter? I think I need an RCBO to the standard...
Hi.
Our local Primary School has a couple of these inverters, installed what must be around 15 years ago. Visiting the school recently, I was surprised at how noisy they were - with the sun out, they can be heard clearly in the next corridor, through double doors.
I think, pretty clearly...
Hello there
I have just installed a new Solis S6-GR1P3.6K-M-DC Inverter - this replaced a 10 year old+ Sungrow inverter that failed/out of warranty!
None of the wiring set up has changed other than a new AC plug for the Solis inverter. I have a 16-panel 4kw system.
It seems, when the inverter...
This is for DIY connecting a 110v 60HZ solard inverter from 12v DC battery to 110v AC 60HZ output. Using a CL04-12 Microwave diode that I already own. I want to know if this diode is right for this.
I want to protect my inverter while I use the electric power from electrical power Co.
And what...
This happened on the works array over they weekend.
Lost most of the magic smoke from it, don’t think l’ll get it all back in again.
Also fried the DC isolation so couldn’t isolate, had to crack open the emergency rubber gloves and matt.
Enjoy!
Hi all,
My 3 month old grid tie inverter has tripped on 3 occasions at startup.
Have read plenty of threads here about similar issues but unclear as to the fix.
So for my setup the inverter goes to a separate mcb on a separate secondary consumer unit. There is rcd protection here and it does...
on a standard size property, as a installer do you tend to advise / direct customers to a 3.7k inverter and stick to the g98 / notification after install? saving the cost and time of a g99 process. Where the installation may benefit from a larger setup, but for ease and cost , just to go with...
Hi everyone. The owner of the business I work for along with myself have created a DIY inverter setup that is giving us some issues. We bought all the equipment new about a year ago and have been using the system in the office to supply uninterrupted power to a few devices. The setup is made...
hi
on the solax x1-hybrid-3.7-d inverter, trying to find out the purpose of the rotary dc switch, underneath the inverter. does this isolate the battery storage or the strings? thank you
I have run out of viable space (that Mrs will let me use) to house my inverter and battery for when my solar arrives next month (GivEnergy). So have been looking at alternatives. Originally looked at stainless steel and GRP kiosks but that was going to cost me nearly £1500.
So now i am...
Hi I would like to install an 8kw inverter with a battery in parallel with a 3kw inverter with a battery and about 1kw of solar I have 3kw solar installed on a 3kw inverter already. I was hoping to use an export limiter grid side. Dose anyone see any problems with this. I have been told it's not...
So my friend's inverter is not working and fault code says - bus voltage unbalanced. Has anyone come across with something like that?
Inverter is 10 years old and install company doesn't exist anymore.
Hello All
Can I say to start with I am not an electrician but used to be a heating engineer (yes I can hear the groans). I have wired the installation myself using the correct wiring and isolators, racking and trunking and it is not grid tied it is purely off grid with a separate input for a...
Hi all. Having a real headache trying to find out further details in regard to connecting a MODBUS smart meter to a Solis 5kW S6 inverter, Model S6-GR1P5K. Apparently, there are a couple of different versions - a 'Meter' version and a 'CT' version. The manual states that you must get the...
Greetings, I have a 5kwh solis hybrid inverter (S5-EH1P5K-L) with 12 (390W) JA solar panels . I was wondering if there's any requirement to install any DC isolation between the battery and the inverter or they can they just be simply connected to each other?
Greetings, I have a solar 5kw system installed with a hybrid inverter (no batteries yet). My electrician decided to add an extension board for the solar installation as my main CU couldn't fit all the required switch due to lack of space.
I have dual rcd consumer unit with no high integrity so...
I have an 11kw inverter installed at home. If I turned on enough appliances it would be possible overload the inverter. Is there a way to detect this and avoid it?
Hi Sorry to bring this one up again but have read numerous posts and answers and not got an answer specific to my situation.
I have a Loncin LC3500i inverter generator which my electrician has wired via a transfer switch into a secondary consumer unt which covers the garage and office withing...
