RENVU is a solar and energy storage equipment distributor, stocking the market's leading brands at competitive prices. We carry solar modules, inverters, and everything else needed for a complete solar system. You can even get a full system quote in just 5 minutes with our Solar Design and Quote Tool!
Our goal is to make going solar as simple as possible, and this channel is dedicated to providing you with easy to understand information regarding going solar and renewable energy equipment. Here, you'll find video tutorials, tips, and more.
Hmm. You should rename the video to what Microinverters can do. This says nothing about what turns them on, how long do they take to turn on, how do they communicate with a hub……..🙄
I need tech support please. Do you have a number I can call. I had a solar system installed on my home. The installer went bankrupt,, please, I need help
For tech support, you will have to reach out to Q Cells directly. RENVU is a distributor. Here's their contact details: us.qcells.com/utility/contact-us/
@renvu can you explain what the neutral is used for ? Im only familiar with iq7 and iq8 systems which dont have neutrals in the trunk cable. I ran into an old m215 system today and i saw the neutral and it had me curious as to what it could be used for. I assume it could be used for grid sensing maybe but i really dont know. If some light could get shed on this id appreciate it.
can a private person buy from you guys? or its only for Contractors/installers? I tried to create an account but its asking me for Company I don't have a company.
Hi sir, i have problem in my inverter , the varistor of ac output was burning, and the switch on display is open, how the problem occur and how to repair it? Thank you
I have a Verizon gateway wireless modem, which is a CDMA cellular service not GSM like T-Mobile. Can I monitor my system with CDMA? If so, how can I do it?
Thank you, Gary! We appreciate that! It is great to hear feedback. We love connecting you directly with our manufacturer partners and giving you the opportunity to ask any questions that you have. Please let us know if there are any topics you would be interested in learning more about. Please email us at info@renvu.com. Cheers! :)
Thanks for the presentation. I have a question for the folks at Enel X. A company called Enteligent announced (back in January, I believe) a residential/commercial "Hybrid DC Bi-Directional Fast EV Charger" which is not only bi-directional, but can charge an EV with DC current coming from PV panels (without having to be inverted to AC current first). It can also charge from AC current only (like most EV chargers) or combine both so that it can charge "up to three times faster than AC Level 2 EV chargers". It does this by integrating with solar inverters (such as the Sol-Ark). I think it is now in beta release/testing. Do you have any plans to provide any such capabilities (the one of primary interest is taking DC current from the panels going direct to the EV without doing a "double inversion" of DC->AC->DC)? The Web page describing the device is here: enteligent.com/dc-coupled-dc-evses
Hello! Email us at info@renvu.com, we can work with you on this. If you would like a free option, check out PV Watts. Also, check out this website: sunroof.withgoogle.com/ Cheers!
So seen its 67.99 per unit, and it takes 2 of these just for 1 panel. For a molded plastic piece that seems way over priced for a ground mount array. Yea I know some will say it's simpler but I think it's not as simple as stated. Ground needs to be very level to mount. U gotta get material to fill bin. Easier to dig a low rack array set 4 post, level it and for like and set 4 panels for half the price. Just don't see these costing over 25 bucks at most basically a plastic bucket with holes and clips
There might have engineering stamps that come with them. I'm trying to find out. Might be better to fabricate and get my design approved... or not. 1 ballast per panel +1 per row with level ground or 2 /panel for less level ground
I have 10 Eflex 5.4K batteries attached to a Sol-Ark hardened inverter. Any idea of how these batteries would do in an EMP event? Will the batteries be damaged or just the BMS or will they all survive? The batteries are in a metal cabinet (underbed truck tool box) sitting on a foam garage floor bad.
Hello! The recommended panel size is <39.7". You'll need 3 for 2 panels if you are doing one row. If you have any more questions, please email our team at info@renvu.com. Cheers! :)
I want enough power to expand and be off grid to support 4 buildings and lots of pumps etc. All off grid cost is no problem Just want away from government bills
Hola. Tengo una pregunta pero en español. Podrían atenderme? Cuando el inversor suministrara energía en 480 v a un panel de servicio trifásico conexión estrella, en el inversor se debe instalar un puente entre la terminal del neutro y la de puesta a tierra?
Buenos dias. Desafortunadamente, somos un distribuidor de equipos. Aquí hay un enlace a la página de soporte de SMA: www.sma-america.com/service-support/overview.html Cheers!
Overall an interesting solution. Thanks to Renvu and SimpliPhi for the presentation. Re: the comment that the inverter has a switchover time of "8ms which is pretty much the fastest on the market, as far as I'm aware" : Sol-Ark has 4ms for their 12K model and 5ms for their newer 15K model. I mean no offense, but since SimpliFi sells an product that integrates their battery with the Sol-Ark 12K (SimpliPhi Power AccESS Sol-Ark 12k Inverter / 22.8kWh LFP Battery ESS A-6PHI-SA-12), I would think that you would be aware of this. Question: Where is your inverter manufactured and by whom? Suggestion: Since the Gateway has a "User friendly Linux OS", why not add a simple HTTP server so that users that don't want to use the cloud to view settings or data can just access the Gateway via a specific IP address or URL (like my FiOS router provides), so I can communicate directly with the system via any Web browser (on my desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.)? It's great that your Google Cloud specifies servers in the U.S., but many users want to avoid having our info on "the cloud" altogether. Another suggestion: firmware updates should have the option to be automatic or explicit. The explicit option would be that the user downloads the firmware update via the app (not preferable), or by downloading locally to their PC/laptop/tablet, and then using the above suggested Web interface via HTTP server in the Gateway to install (much more preferred). One more: the end user/homeowner should have the final say over whether they have "Pro" access to the inverter and ESS. If they have to sign a waiver regarding risks of wrong settings: so be it.
Hi Rozgon, here are the fill materials PowerField Energy lists in their installation manual: Ballast can be any bulk material such as sand, pea gravel, crusher run, coarse gravel, or soil. Here's a link to the manual (they included weights): www.renvu.com/PowerField-Energy-PowerRack-Solar-PV-Ground-Mount-System If you have more questions, please email us at info@renvu.com. Cheers!
Good day, is it possible for you to tell me what settings you had put in to get the inverter to work please? I already have the technician code to enter the settings.
It’s the MIN series stackable? I have a 25kw array and would need two 11.4 inverters. One of the slides showed an install with 2 inverters and 3 batteries but didn’t mention if you could stack or run multiple inverters of a large battery bank and combine their output to one critical loads panel thereby increasing the amp capacity, like you can with a Sol-Ark. Or are you stuck with 2 separate systems, with 2 separate battery banks and 2 separate critical loads panels? Also when the new solution to the current ATS and ARO comes out will the current MIN inverters be compatible? This was kind of asked in the Q&A but not adequately answered. I need to add inverters to my new array and could wait for the whole home battery backup but it would be pretty crappy if I buy new 11.4 inverters today that will be outdated in a couple months and can’t be used with the new whole home backup solution.
Hi Aaron! We will be happy to help! Please send an email to info@renvu.com, and our engineering team can get you these answers and assist you further. Cheers!
Hello! In order to answer your question, we would need more info about the specific install configuration and utility. Sometimes AC wires go to a breaker in the Main Service Panel, sometimes they are connected to the main service feeders above the main breaker in what is called a supply side connection. Some utilities require a separate meter for the solar production, all utilities have programmed bi-directional meters that take the place of a standard utility meter. If you would like to talk to our team, please email us at info@renvu.com. Cheers!
