Shading and Solar Edge

[Worcester]

Re optitrac, no it isn't! So we may get even better performance.

as MEP Elec says, module based power management has its place and we will always consider it as an option.

It would certainly be interesting to see how your systems compare with optitrac turned on.

The shading on this job will only affect the array between Nov-Feb anyway so I may as well go for the SMA3000TL-21 with the lower panels on a separate tracker.

Regarding the OP, is that General Sherman that you're planning on installing alongside? That tree is enormous!

We're doing our first solar edge soon due to partial shading at different points of the day. I like the future proof option with solar edge and the plug and play monitoring as standard.

I can see in 5 years or so a simple panel add on that will work with any panel and you dial in the required parameters to match your replacement panel to your existing ones. Probably cost no more than £25 then. Either that or a 'universal panel' with the same technology built into the junction box on the rear.

I do place the power optimizers on the Top rails or lower rails so they are only at arms length away to replace .

It took about 20 mins to replcae WITHOUT moving the panel or scaffold using ladders and cat ladder only.

So it not too bad the problem is if the install is a fair distance.

one of the Power boxes had bugs inside which I have spoke about before . the bugs where half scottish and half isreali !!!
