Hi guys,
Anybody used a 7 watt led bulb? Any comments on the light quality? I've tried a 6 watt Aurora bulb which was sold to me as a 50 watt equivalent. It isn't awful, but it is definitely not equivalent to 50 watts. Also, if anyone is involved in r+d
on led bulbs are you expecting to...
Hi All,
Just had a 3.84 kWp system installed. 16 Suntech 240w panels and a Eltec Vakere 3.8 HET invertor. System has been running for one week and it has been dull during this period. Any ideas on what kind on power should it have developed in this time? Actual is only 10.2 kW!!!
This seems low...
Hi all, I am aware that there have been several threads regarding using pv to power the immersion and how to control the turning on of the same when the system is producing sufficient surplus output.
I have had a 3.84kw system installed for several weeks now and like everyone else want to make...
Hi
Just had 8 x 250w panels installed on unshaded sw roof only showing 300w output in sun .Total 4kw after 3+ days incl. maybe 9hrs.bright sun. Not yet made final payment but electrician returning this wk, & scaffold coming down after which roof unreachable by ladder. Is this output "normal" ...
Hi there,
I currently have 8 * 250W JA Solar panels going into a Fronius IG20 on a West facing 45 degree pitch roof...
Very rarely does it make the full 2Kw, infact up to now it's never made above 1.6Kw. I have put my stats (albeit 10 panels instead of 8) into the configurator here - Zenex...
Greetings all! I have read much about low light performance of various panels, would be interested your in actual results.
I have 15 x Sanyo HIT-N240 on 1 string, Fronius IG-TL 3.6 inverter, S facing in Poole, Dorset. Today the sun's position was invisible all day due to heavy cloud, I had less...
Looking around for gu10 led replacements. Obviously I know that ebay can hardly be described as a recognised distributor but they do have many sellers of and a wide variety of led lights. Apart from the normal worries about buying from such an 'outlet', I am concerned that the lumens figures...
Hi Guys
Need your expert opinions and advice here - I have a solar array installed comprising the 15 panels connected to a Fronius 3.0 IG TL. I just checked the voltage being registered from the array (given it is cloudy and rainy conditions at the moment) and total voltage from the array was...
My DNO say that the output of a sb4000tl can have its current limit set to 16A, does anyone know about this and how to go about it, i have an install that falls between 16 and 17 amps

Is there a software/tool available to show the monthly output of a typical PV System. e.g. Bar chart to show what you can expect to generate from Jan through to December. - Free software would be good but open to suggestions.
Hello Guys,
I have had a 3Kw system installed on one of my houses but recently i have been wondering about the output i am getting out of it.
I was provided with a SMA inverter and have got installed Amerisolar panels.
Since the past 3 weeks or so, i have seen significant changes in the...
what panel would be best foe my 6.5m x4m garage roof? it is sw facing 40 deg pitch. have been quoted Ying li, sanyo hit 250 and schott pannels hope to get 12 panels on. Which ones would give best return? what kind of price should i be looking at?
thanks
Hi guys/gals,
anyone have any experience of the above panels? I've decided after much debate to go for a pv instal. Unfortunately, looks like the max I'll get on the roof is around 2kw. The company I'm happiest with has quoted the ZNShine panel, hence I'm looking for installer/user feedback.
By...
hi,
I'm now up and running produced 10kwh today on a 3.92kw system, i was just wanting to compare my install with other, question is where is the best UK place on the web.
thanks
Hi Guys,
Anyone else noticing systems not reaching very high power outputs during the last week of sunny weather? Any if so any idea why? I'm an installer, not a system designer, so maybe there is an obvious answer to this that I am missing? We commissioned 12 systems on thurs and fri last...
Hi all,
I have just had 8 x 250w Hyundai panels & SB1700 on asingle sting installed. my question is what should I expect the maximum out putto be? Today the most recorded is 1198w.
Anyone know what type of driver i would need for 3 x 1w 350 m/A leds wired in series.
person who wired these has dissapeared and i'm trying to finish the job off, been in touch with the manufacturer (targetti) and they want £120 for the driver and reckon delivery will be about 5 weeks, anything...
Hi I read on an old thread from BruceB that voltage drop should be added to the local mains voltage to find out what the voltage will be at the output terminals of the inverter.
I have a situation on a 50kw system with 3 X SMA 15000TL where 2 work fine however the 3rd is generating a lot less...
Hello Electricians here.
I have a Prob/question and am hoping that someone can shed some light over here.
I have a small portable generator driven by a petrol engine.
2 outputs = 220v and 110v
But the generator will not generate, I have checked the wiring I can and all switches seem ok ...
