Re: [RE-wrenches] Enphase performance

Hi Randy, What are the best ways to mount the inverters to increase the output? Thanks At 06:49 PM 5/10/2010, you wrote: The mounting approach can affect the delta T ambient-module temperature resulting in much higher output for groundmounts, polemounts, or rooftop arrays in windy ridges or

Re: [RE-wrenches] FW: Enphase performance

I've got my SMA SB5 on a revenue grade meter and it's actually under-reported slightly since I started comparing it last August. SMA's counter has increased by 5649 kWh while the revenue meter has increased 5666 kWh- only 0.3% off. If I remember correctly from their training session they said

[RE-wrenches] Tiny load problem

I am sizing a system that will have dual inverters to shorten generator charging in the winter and enough solar to charge the rest of the time. Here's the problem, the inverter will not be able to get into sleep mode at night. There are 2 cell chargers and a cpap machine having to run all

Re: [RE-wrenches] Tiny load problem

If the normal connected loads are within the capacity of a single inverter (which may actually be possible -- I run my whole house off one Outback FX2024, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and all) then you can just leave one of the inverters in sleep mode or disable output but leave

Re: [RE-wrenches] Tiny load problem

Hi Bob, I run into this issue nearly every week and the solution is the same every time: install a small dedicated inverter. CPAP machines and cell phone chargers work just fine with modified square wave inverters but for only $100 you can have a 300 watt sine wave inverter. I'd recommend sine

Re: [RE-wrenches] E-meter/Link-10 prescaler

Title: David Katz Thanks David, but the1:5 prescaler is for a different meter (e-xpert pro) than the old link-10/e-meter. I am looking for old stock of link-10/e-meter 0-100 volt prescalers. Todd David Katz wrote: Hi Todd, If you get desperate, you can buy them from the company that

Re: [RE-wrenches] E-meter/Link-10 prescaler

Try Bryan Belk at www.belktronix.com He's built some prescalers for the electric vehicle crowd and that segment has been longtime fanboy about the e-meter. I think you may find an appropriate prescaler on Bryan's site...or write to him. I have some 48v prescalers which were made by Bryan to work
