Jay, maybe the price was right? Obvious the old parent corporation wanted into commercial solar. As for EG4 maybe the old lawyer shark saying about eat or be eaten. It was about 5 years back that Schneider sold all commercial solar and it helped their stock. Crossing fingers! Happy hour soon!

Hi Drake, What it says to me is that they either fired everyone or said move to tx. I’ve always joked that if the potential project I’m to work on starts badly it never gets better. I still don’t understand why the owners of EG4 would by a legacy inverter company? Jay > On May 24, 2024, at

[RE-wrenches] Outback Tech Support

2024-05-24 Thread Drake Chamberlin via RE-wrenches
Hello All, With the sale of Outback, their tech support seems to have disappeared. Around the time of the sale, tech support had agreed to send me a new control stack for a Radian. After a long delay, they did send it, but were quick to remind me to return the core. When the new control sta

Friends - are you installing surge arrestors on your PV input conductors and grid side AC conductors to hopefully prevent some of the surge and lightning related damages to inverters? We use SolarEdge often and have other issues which frustrate us but not often surge related issues. We usually wil

This wasn’t an RSD rant (and thank gosh NEC2023 clarifies and reduces some silly RSD requirements), but a rant over the damn finick-iness of the BUI and multi-inverter setups from SE. I’ve developed a nervous tik that comes on with lighting and storms and hits a peak when phone rings from cu

Sorry but my previous post went out before I finished my thoughts. I know MLPE electronics can be a pain. I hated the RSS requirements when first introduced. However solar energy sources pose unique safety concerns. There is no safety disconnect on the sun. IMHO, having a means to safely work on h

Well to me the final, final straw is their stock price losing 2/3 its value in a year. I tell all of my clients if you ever have to do roof solar, you should use a central inverter and not ever put electronics on a roof. Bad enough to put solar panels up there! Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "w

This winter we were fixing up a system with a fronius primo inverter and adding rapid shutdown. Fronius very much recommended against using Tigo. They recommended we use Fire Raptors. They have been working fine. Cheers, Dave On Thu, May 23, 2024, 8:27 PM Chris Sparadeo via RE-wrenches < re-wren
