    Help! Solar Pv System Question

    Hello All, I'm seeking some advice about a solar PV system we had installed in November 2014 please. After 18 months, we seem to be consistently short of the predicted generation figures. I tried taking it back to the contractor, but they've ceased trading, and it turns out that they never...

    Earthing for solar off grid system

    Hi All Planning an off-grid solar system and I’m pretty confident about most of it except for one thing - earthing. I believe the inverter I will use, a Victron Phoenix 12/350, has a floating earth - so there will be 230V L-’N’, 115V L-E and 115V ’N’-E. The system will power an existing (old)...

    With a small inverter (120W), is it necessary to have an MCB for overcurrent protection? As the inverter can only produce 0.5A (say, 2A to be optimistic), it should never be able to melt those 1.5mm2 cables (rated 21A). Am I missing something important? We do need an RCD for sure. Just...

    2000w inverter or greater?

    Evening all, I am about to fit a solar panel to my shed and am trying to decide which inverter to get. It will occasionally run a 2000w mitre saw (perhaps 2-5 minutes once weekly), this will be the highest wattage appliance used. I was planning on getting a 3000w pure sign wave inverter but...

    Retrofitting Solar Edge.

    Had some guy rang me today from what sounded like a call centre, trying to talk me into an appointment to have my system assessed regarding how it is wired and suggesting that it would be in my best interests to have Solar edge optimisers and an inverter fitted and suggested that it would then...

    Inverter replacements by manufacturer - invalidate warranty?

    I've noticed some manufacturers are replacing inverters themselves rather than sending the inverter to the installer. I wonder whether this could void the warranty for some firms?
