  • Post in thread: Choosing Voltronic Axpert Max offgrid inverter

    Now I ordered Voltronic Axpert Max 8.0 from https://www.solarpower24.it The warranty time is 2 years. Is that ok? I'm excited to see how it will perform.
  • Post in thread: Zero-export inverter, not backfeed to the grid

    Thank you. I live in Norway. I'm going to buy about 10Kw solar panels and build a 12Kw battery. Does the MPP max 11kw no export?

    Thanks. I'm not Italian, I'm from Norway. But maybe it's possible to have subtitles. ? Nice power arrangement you have btw. ?

  • Post in thread: Zero-export inverter, not backfeed to the grid

    Ok thank you. Is this called grid assist?
  • Post in thread: Zero-export inverter, not backfeed to the grid

    Is there a inverter that supplements/ties with the grid, but does not ever backfeed the grid? When I search it seems this is called zero-export inverter, is that right? Or is it called limiter? I see it's something called zero export to ct, but I don't know what ct means? I just wanna use solar...

    Ok. Not size for the 120A DC output listed?
  • Post in thread: Solar configuration

    For the MPP MAX 11KW?
  • Post in thread: Zero-export inverter, not backfeed to the grid

    When connecting to the grid in Norway the inverter must be tested according to one of two standards (Certifications) to be approved for use in the power grid: 1) EN50549-1 REN-blad 342 (european standard) 2) VDE 4105 (german standard) BUT Am I connected to grid when the inverter just pass...

    I have checked the watt meter and the solar regulator, nothing wrong there. Here is a video when the strange behaviour appears:
  • Post in thread: DIY Solar panel mounting brackets for pitched tile roof

    I tested it on the roof. But it's a gap between the tiles: Maybe I have to trim off some of the tiles backside?
  • Post in thread: DIY Solar panel mounting brackets for pitched tile roof

    I was going to order a lot of solar panel mounting brackets for pitched tile roof and when I discovered the price I was thinking maybe it's cheaper to build the brackets from angle brackets in the hardware store? Has anyone done this before?
  • Post in thread: Inverters; Are these brands any good?

    Nice. ? What Voltronic Axpert do you have?
  • Post in thread: Voltronic Axpert King vs Max (I vs II?)

    What inverter did you end up with? What is your experience? ?
  • Post in thread: Solar configuration

    Ok, thanks. Why should breaker be 1.25 X wire rating?
  • Post in thread: Zero-export inverter, not backfeed to the grid

    So this means I can connect ac out from mpp 11k to the grid mains in the house? How does it not export? Shouldn't it be a clamp on the mains so power goes just in one direction, into the house and not out?
  • Post in thread: Solar configuration

    Won't that be danger for the wire? Can I use a 16A 1000V TOMZN breaker between my panels and Inverter as a on/off switch? I have 6S 230w panels. 230x6=1380w Vmp=30v so 1380/(30x6) = 1380/180=7.66A
  • Post in thread: Solar configuration

    Where is the "max fuse" value on this? Should it be listed here?

    I'm in the process of choosing an Axpert Max offgrid inverter at https://www.solarpower24.it/category-product/inverter-en/off-grid-inverters/primo-max-en/?lang=en What is best of SP24 and Voltronic? What is best of Max1 and Max2? My impression from threads is Max1 is more tried and solid, is...
  • Post in thread: Used / second hand Solar panels in Europe

    Where can I buy used / second hand solar panels in Europe? I live in Norway and shipping/delivery costs from USA is too much I think. I've searching on ebay but hasn't seen much. Any name on solar installers in Denmark, Sweeden, Germany? I'll ask if they have any left over panels from an...

  • Post in thread: Solar configuration

    Ok, thank you, then I'll go for 6S Ok, no fuse in 6S configuration. Anyway I want a breaker to cut the power if I want to. What size circuit breaker do I need before the inverter? Ok, so strings is the same as parallel.
  • Post in thread: Zero-export inverter, not backfeed to the grid

    Is these two statements contradictions? Between LydMekk and timselectric?
  • Post in thread: Inverters; Are these brands any good?

    What european supplier and distributor did you buy from? ?
  • Post in thread: Solar configuration

    I have 6 230w panels with following specs: Voc: 36.9V Isc: 8.31A Vmp: 30.2V Imp: 7.62A What is the best panel configuration for the MPP MAX 11KW?
  • Post in thread: Zero-export inverter, not backfeed to the grid

    So if I connect the grid mains to an offgrid AIO (like MPP MAX 11kw), the inverter doesn't has to be tested according to the standards (Certifications)? The inverter doesn't has to be approved and I don't have to tell the power company about it?
  • Post in thread: Ferrule on circuit breaker?

    I have some DC circuit breakers and when connecting an apropiate wire it feels loose even when tightening the screw. Is the solution to use ferrules on the wire?
  • Post in thread: Zero-export inverter, not backfeed to the grid

    Ok, is MPP max 11kw an off grid inverter? Can I connect the MPP max 11kw to the house fusebox so it gives power to all the existing power outlets in the house? Can the MPP max 11kw ensure that it doesn't give more power than we use in the house (no export to the grid)?
