Hey,
I am a solar installer and this is my first time using solar edge with power optimizers. I decided to experiment with a system on my house first before I started putting them on other peoples houses. So I have 14 370 W panels for a total of 5180watts. My inverter is 3800 W with POs S440. During my Peak sun the past few days. I’m getting a Max of 2660 Watts.
I have tested all the panels before I put them on the roof to make sure they were all within spec. I also tested all the power optimizers to make sure they were within range. I have paired them to the inverter. They are only operating at 50% tops.
so some background. I have been on the phone with solar edge technicians for the past few days. I’ve gotten 50 different answers, and none of them solved my issue.. from outdated software to Over watts on string.
So this can inverter can only handle 5100 W on a string. I’m at 5180. so I disconnected which put me at 4810. I Paired the optimizers with the inverter again. It did absolutely nothing. Just produce less. I’m at a loss. I almost feel like the optimizers are capping my voltage and Amperage
I have a 8.1 Kw system with a 6Kw inverter that was producing 6KW at the time during these test. Any Help.??
I’m getting ready to scrap solaredge on the first project. Luckily it’s my house too lol
