I have a Meanwell 20 amp 5 volt power supply directly off main busbars supplying an old router on DRT and 2 Raspberry's running Solar-assistant and Node Red. Have a mini inverter above the 18Kpv (750 watt) spinning a small recirc pump recirculating water thru an electric tankless and then thru...

I would guess they could tell if you sold back more than your production/battery size in a given night? Also the 18Kpv has been on the CEC list as an inverter for 6 months now, but not all the boxes have been checked (CRD-PCS functionality among others)

I have found that PG&E has their own list of equipment/requirements and the CEC list is the minimum. The only way to see the PG&E list is during the application process. The 18kpv is now on the PG&E list of inverters for grid tied without a battery? (maybe < 10 KWh battery size i think) but...

City of Fremont actually has a app to report building code violations for your phone anonymously .... how well do you get along with your neighbors??

Little did I know... Latest in the saga with PG&E. i screwed up the first application (applied in wrong category) so they kept my money and cancelled my application. I reapplied with same drawings documents and now they demand the following: CRD-PCS Capability – Battery inverter must be...

Given you are using the same brand of panels with same Voc with double or 1/2 the amperage rating indicates that it is likely these are all built from the SAME cells or at least very similar so, that series/parallel arrangement you are using is probably identical to the series parallel...

I'm in the same boat, tankless gas and some excess pv i need to use up. Dougbert, do you find the gas tankless shuts down if the feed h20 temp is above 95F? My tankless claims to shutdown with too high of inlet temp.

forgot to ask, are the arrays pointed in different directions?

Um, 8s2p is 16 panels, he has 10. whats wrong with 10s1p? 586v at -30F, dont know your lowest ASHRE temp tho? also 10s1p will start producing a little earlier in the morning,save wire and save your MPPT's (assuming you have further plans?)max Vmp at 410v well under eg4 mppt max of 500...

Here is the program in all its glory: Today the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the Solar for All competition, which will award up to 60 grants to states, territories, tribal governments, municipalities, and eligible nonprofits to create and expand solar programs for low-income...

other side of terminal

These are my cables from EG4 for my powerpro batteries. thats a 2/0 cable

power wall rated 11.5 kW AC of continuous power per unit

if they are color coded then ground one of the unconnected conductors to the ground wire (you did run a ground wire?) then check other end with ohmmeter

Did you ever get an answer to this question?

This is what my system does- one 18kPV inverter, 2 powerpro batteries, whole house just like Filterguy but I have no PV disconnects, just a remote RSD switch by the main panel and next to the PG&E meter approx 70 ft away from my inverter/battery room and i just received my final inspection...

It kind of depends what is connected to your panel. are you running a series connected array or parallel, are you connected to a 600 V max inverter or 200 V max system or is this on a charge controller by itself?

have you reviewed the TRINA installation guide? Dont have to use the mounting holes in the panels... https://static.trinasolar.com/sites/default/files/PS-M-0434%20A%20Installation%20Manual%20of%20Standard%20Module_IEC_UL_2016_A.pdf

A. yes B. panels abut along the rails C.panels that are 4 x 6 FEET?? holey cow- still abut them on the rails- the rails have to be fastened to the rafters,every 4 (or 6 ft in my case)not the panels D.Why place the rails at 4 ft? rail spacing is dictated by the panel requirements. E. rails have...

Warning!! i used the PV cable from Signature Solar and it was larger in diameter than standard PV wire (if there is such a thing!) and 6 plus ground would not physically fit let alone pull into a 1"EMT. luckily my 1st pull box in attic was only 6" into attic which allowed me to drop back to #10...

nope ,they are 15s

FYI, solaredge optimizers CAN'T be used outside solaredge inverters- your a captive customer with no way out

this is a 12 kw pv system (30 x 400W QPEAK arranged in 3 arrays) 28Kwh of Battery (2 Powerpro) and one 18Kpv which has been running offgrid for the last 3 weeks without a hiccup. Did need to switch back to grid for the morning after 2 cloudy days to charge the chevy Bolt, but other than that...

Many thanks to Jarrett for the timely help , Had to swap a couple of wires around on the main board and power is now present

That sounds like a great way to power the Tigo CCA but my 18kpv doesn't put out ANY voltage on the 12+ and 12- lines. Is there something I have to turn on to make this happen?

I have once or twice a month a 18hr pottery kiln cycle that burns thru about 80 kwh per kiln run so I would really like to have a little grid storage to cover that, So Marcus-any word on that CSIP yet?

FYI I just connected my eg4 18kpv today with 2 arrays of only Tigo TS-4 A-2F and one array of mixed 6 panels running Tigo TS-4-A-2F and 4 running TS -4-A-O AND TO MY SURPRISE the inverter turned on the TS-4-A-2F on without the Tigo RSS Transmitter!! I have now removed the RSS Transmitter and...

Does the california certs include UL1741 SB certified inverters and Common Smart Inverter Profile Conformance (CSIP) ? this is whats holding me up in PG@E territory ( half of the state)

I have nothing but raves for our local Greentech in san luis obispo at the counter.fantastic service, prices match on line places. However online thru their corporate connection it was slow, sluggish and not very helpful

note the variation in weight. easy to measure for those with gram scales (you know who you are...)

Thanks for the near instant response guys WOW. Is this cert also tied into the whole UL9540 mess?

I've been trying to connect my 18kPV and 2 Powerpro batteries to PG&E for the last 3 months and have finally have a straight answer as to the problem. it is lacking certification for: UL1741 SB certified inverters and Common Smart Inverter Profile Conformance (CSIP) Now I'm stuck guys, Is the...

Yep, I just got my shipping confirmation as well, think I ordered in July?

just an internet search : www.sunmaxxsolar.com they seem to specialize in solar thermal systems
