I'd prefer to just have a string inverter but, aside from rapid shut down, there is no per panel monitoring, right? I've had three panel issues in 9 years: 1 was an optimizer that I easily identified and replaced myself with an ebay purchase for $30 (win for string) but in the last year I had two panels cut output by 1/3. I immediately knew which panels were bad (win for optimizers). I would hate to have a string setup and need to troubleshoot panels with no indication if there is a problem. Even if one of many panels go bad that underperformance would be absorbed into the string results so I wouldn't know. A ground mount is no big deal, but up on a tile roof is no fun.
Well my SE system is so far not good. My solar system was installed Nov 2021. The installer took 3 months before it went live because they screwed up the install so permitting delayed it. I bought a battery delivered May 2023. It took to Oct to actually turn up to install. Since then the system does not work correctly. Now a replacement battery is sat outside my house waiting for the installer to fit it. I am not convinced the first battery is faulty as they cannot tell me what is wrong with it. The monitoring software has also not displayed the data such as import and export. I thought it was just lousy software but it seems that it was not configured correctly. Hopefully the installers will install this new battery 13Dec2023. As a retired computer consultant I think the software in the system is not configured correctly rather than a faulty battery.
We have a solar edge system with a Lg Chem 7kwh battery. (it is not a backup system) My question is, if we upgraded the system to a complete home energy hub system would it be possible to use the LG Battery with the 10Kwh solar edge battery as extra storage?
I would disagree with the opinions about V2H, specifically with the Generac PWRcell DC-based system. The ability to DC charge with excess solar and then recharge the battery(not replace it entirely) with maybe 5kWh from your vehicle to get you through an entire night would be immensely valuable and efficient. The argument about not wanting to trade mobility(15miles maybe??) for piece of mind goes against one of the prime drivers for the PWRcell product line in the first place. The demand of the Ford F150L backup product illustrates this point as well.
Stay away from this company! Had ground base system installed and nobody reached out to help me with my system. Tried to get application installed to monitor my system but never works?
What's SolarEdge's story with batteries and generator integration? I have a Energy Hub + Backup Interface, but it does not integrate with my Generac generator (as is advertised in the BUI documentation). I was told to wait for a firmware update, which after 1.5 years I updated, but the release notes don't show the BUI integrated to the generator, but instead wants a third party ATS added.
My installer is probably the largest solar edge distributor in Phoenix, they told me they do not install solar edge batteries !?!? When I asked if they would install a back interface, they told me they were not familiar with the product. 🤦🏻♂️ 9/22
Hello Solar Edge, I am in the process of buying a system from sunrun. They are using SE10000H-USSN, BI-NUSGN-01, and BAT-10K1P. i have read all the manuals, spec sheets and watched this video. For some reason Sunrun is not installing the backup interface correctly. they are requiring homeowners to designate 8 loads and install subpanel for these loads. They are not installing the backup interface between the grid and 200A main panel. They are installing 60 breaker after the backup interface to the meter. They are also making customers install batteries upfront or they are not allowed to get the backup interface, they say it does not work without a battery. I would like to talk to someone from SolarEdge regarding these questions.
How long does it take the inverter to switch to island mode in case of a power cut? Is it in the order of the seconds or the miliseconds? Is it the same with and without the battery? Can it be improved somehow?
Is one able to manually discharge battery TO GRID? There is a retail product with which homeowner pays wholesale consumption rates as they change during the day, and receive wholesale variable solar feed in tariff too.
I have just been informed that this system will only allow your system to put out only around 30% of your systems output design and We have been misinformed over the performance of the sunlight power design!!
Just looked up the sound specs. The PWRGenerator is only quieter in test mode compared to the Generac 10,000 watt Guardian G007171 (51 db vs 57 db). At normal load they are the same, 61 db. ‘Super Quiet’ description came from marketing staff, not engineering staff.
Curious? Why no response 3 plus months later to customers comments? Is this another web site not monitored correctly by the creator? Is this another salesman attitude production, I am disappointed as it appears so? If ya can’t trust a salesman, what’s the world coming to in this social communication age. Might want to pay attention if a new customer to the tactic at bay on any of the public platforms.
I've been looking for a hybrid pv solar system for my house that accomplishes the following: 1. provides some power to the house when the grid is down so we can run our well pump and or heat pump, provides EV charging station from either solar panels or the grid, and provides an integrated capability to add a battery backup capability in the future (perhaps a year or so). What specific equipment would Solaredge have available currently to satisfy these capabilities?
I will be making the Span Smart Panel as a part of my coming SE Energy Hub Inverter+Backup Interface+EnergyBank ecosystem. Too bad you can't also support the SE Communications Gateway too, so that environmental sensors (e.g., ambient temperature + module temp + irradiance measurements) could be part of your ecosystem. (The Span takes up the RS-485 MODBUS master that would otherwise been used by the SE Comm Gateway.)
How does the Enphase batteries work with traditional regular single large inverters such as Solar Edge or others? You would still need the Enphase auto transfer switch..
I was looking at the Enphase IQ 8 and an REC 405W panel but got the solaredge instead because another company pointed out that every IQ8 inverter, even the IQ8H would clip with the REC 400W module. Since 400w panels are commonplace, how can Enphase compete?
IQ8M is the correct size for a 400W module in most cases (minimal clipping losses, you'll save money on the installation). You can downsize for a combination of northern latitude (northern hemisphere)/shaded panels/non-south-facing azimuth that reduce the maximum output of the panels. Clipping will be negligible at this size. At the IQ8A level, you basically will lose less than 0.05% of your annual production to clipping, but this is most likely not worth it.
Same here. I asked solar edge and my installer , they told me I didn’t have my consumption meter installed, they’ve never mentioned about it until I found out myself through RU-vid videos
