Hi everyone,
Does anyone have positive or negative experience with REC modules?
Specifically failure rate, and how the company acts when an RMA is
necessary. Thank you

I think SolArk makes an 8K 120V-only version

wow. Sounds like a class action lawsuit if they’re not careful. I’ve
never heard of any module manufacturer pay for lost production, but they
need to cover parts and labor or they will be sued, and they will lose.

OK thanks for the correction. It's confusing to me because the external
chassis is identical

I wonder why, after years of calling tech support, nobody at Enphase told
me the S is a replacement for the R. it took a compatriot
installer/integrator to care enough.

Hi William,
I’ve never done this but talked to the electrical/electronic engineer
who did:: he took all the CT current, and voltage inputs and ran them into
a small cheap Linux PC, which was easy to find support and used a common
programming language. These guys only used it for a custom
Jay, there are three major utilities in CA. I don’t know much about LADPW
nor SDGE.
PGE executes demand charges depending on the ‘rate schedule’ applied
to a specific meter. Customers can request to change their rate schedule,
sometimes with significant financial savings just doing that.

a few years ago I decided to buy my own LG battery charger because we

Or G7000 (50Amp)
I’ve heard they work with other inverters, not just GENERAC only, but of
course you’d have no warranty when mixing brands.

I’m not familiar with Outback defaults but most inverters I’ve dealt with
have a grid tolerance of 10% +/- so 216 to 264VAC.

The encapsulant between the glass and the aluminum might be degraded by a
surfactant. It’s probably a low risk if you use a gentle soap, but I heard
that somewhere about 15 years ago so I thought I’d mention it.
I also heard that pressure washers are too strong and can ruin the
encapsulant
Dana in your first example it looks like 120A of solar is pushing onto a
100A utility meter, over #3 copper which cannot handle 120A. But I might be
missing something.

Drake I think you’re right and they’re wrong, as long as the 200A bus is
protected by a 200A breaker, and as long as the Utility meter and utility

If you’re dealing with PG Utility, Fronius decided a few years ago not
to play along anymore. PGE constantly changes the requirements for the
inverter manufacturers, and what they call Smart Inverters. from what I
understand this is mostly for solar curtailment when the grid is saturated.

Type 1: You’ll be limited to 100A solar because the Utility conductors
you’re attaching to are 100A. The Utility tap needs to immediately go to a
fused disconnect switch, generally within 6ft (sometimes 10ft) and within
line of sight of the meter. Fuses need AIC rating equivalent to that of

I haven’t installed a Solaredge in years so my info might not be up to

Hi David and David, it’s me David
Since no lights come on when you turn the breakers on, it sounds like
the battery is deeply discharged. I bought a specialized charger for the
RESU10H. If you want to borrow it let me know.

Hi Jay, in my experience most fans are readily available, you just have to
pull the old fan and get a part number from its nameplate. Or you can
probably order one from Fronius tech support. Worst case I experienced was
on an old SHARP inverter (3 MPPT's), it was supposed to be 3-wire fan, but
27 matches
