Sorry, was referring to the ones from Blue Duck. NozSpark, you're quite right I'll keep it to the necessary and won't get carried way with it.

PV really isn't the answer, not on it's own anyway. Sure use it to power a few pumps, filters etc.... Solar collectors is the best way. (someone else mentioned it earlier, the same as a solar hot water system) I have a 20 tube system to heat a 180lt tank to 60c and I had to fit a bypass valve...

With the lack of sensible answers  ;) I take it that it's not an issue then... I thought as much but wanted to make sure. The panels will be mounted on none conducting material anyway so no problems there either....

I have an array of Fuji FWave FPV1092COM4 panels. What grounding is possible with these types of flexible panels? Other than the usual lightning protection of course... or is that it?

So after a bit of chat with SMA and a bit more research I decided to opt for the SB2000HF-30 which seems to tick all the boxes on the SMA Design softwear. The only question that is a bit grey is that of grounding...so a new thread is being opened.

Found a better spec for these flexible panels of mine. http://www.mirasol-gmbh.de/sites/mirasol-gmbh.de/files/J-KS300104_English%20specifications%20of%20FPV1092COM4.pdf Gives a bit more info on them. Binky, the thing that attracted me to them was the price and the (pardon the pun) flexibility...

Well I like a challenge so I'm not surprised at the results so far. I'll call SMA tomorrow and report my findings ; -)

Doh! Ok cheers for that anyway.

Ok, thanks for the help so far....

If I drop some panels how can that make a difference? Each panel is rated at a Voc of 429v and I was connecting them in parallel anyway. So is it not possible to protect the possible over voltage with anything? Really didn't want to change the inverter :-(

Forum rules will not let me post a link! FWave solar modules FPV1092COM4 Fuji electric I have 12 panels in total.

This is the figure given on the spec of the panel.

Ok here goes, my first posting! I am ready to install the following at my little farm in France: Sunny Boy 1700 Max DC volt : 400 Fuji flexi amorphous panel. Voc 429v Vmp 319v Isc 0.39A Imp 0.288 So you can my concern that the Voc is greater than the Max DC volt of the Sunny Boy. Is...
