    bifacial panels?

    thanks binky. Deege solar say Bifacial solar panels work best when they lie around four metres from the ground. This is because the higher up the panel sits, the more light is able to get underneath them. For this reason bifacial solar panels are unlikely to suit a residential setting, but...

    bifacial panels?

    Hi folks I saw a datasheet for bifacial panels recently https://eurener.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Eurener-MEPV_Nexa-DG-Bif_480-500W_enafce.pdf Not seen anything on the forum about bifacial panels, so just wondering, for domestic use on a concrete tile roof or mounted on a brick wall, is...

    ENA connect direct

    Hi oldman22, finally had time to look at this again... thanks for the link, which does indeed work, I was definitely having an off day when I looked at it last time! I'm suitably thrilled my sarcastic scepticism is proved wrong ;-) in case it helps anyone else it's reached via the 'live...

    ENA connect direct

    So I had a look at the ENA test type register, to see how an application was going for something I was interested in.... Now says data is to 16/4/24 only and to see Connect Direct Can u still search the database easily now? No. It invites you to register... groans in exasperation.... Not...

    Aiko built in shade compensation

    "I have 10 of them NW and even in Winter there are been days (the overcast one) where they produced more than my 4kWp SE (panels from 2016)" So NW is 6.1kWp into one mppt on the Lux inverter? And 4kWp SE into one mppt on the original inverter? Instinctively surprised it works so well in...

    Electric test fail.

    The letting agent should have a copy of the paperwork stored in some manner. It's for work done on your behalf and which you're paying them a management fee for. Also presumably classed as safety related like a gas safety check cert? If they don't then it may be worth pushing to see what records...

    500 Watt x 48v Panel Inverter Required

    Just from reading different forums the only thing which comes to mind is a victron charge controller aimed at a lower battery voltage than the usual LiFePO4 48-51V systems. You could make that work with a single panel. put the specs into https://www.victronenergy.com/mppt-calculator. 12 or 24V...

    500 Watt x 48v Panel Inverter Required

    What's the Voc and Isc for the panel?

    growatt min 3600 tl-x not generating on one string

    Do you know the Voc value for your east facing panels? Then you can work out the string voltage to see if they can get over the inverter startup voltage. The garden panels are likely to have different Voc and presumably are fed into different spec of inverter, so unfortunately comparing your...

    1 string producing a lot more power than the other string

    1 what was the weather doing that morning? Is the data for a sunny day? 2 If that's the sg04-lp1 5kw inverter then the startup voltage in the datasheet is 125V, what's the Voc for the panels?

    National grid Standardisation of fuse to 80A article

    Was digging around the internet looking at G99 fast track SGI-3 and found this 80A fuse limit article on my travels, not seen mention of it on here before so thought I'd post a link https://connections.nationalgrid.co.uk/news-and-events/latest-news/standardisation-of-fusing-to-80a no more...

    Victron options ?

    Hi Ollie78, have you seen victron's MPPT sizing calculator? https://www.victronenergy.com/mppt-calculator consult the datasheet for your panels and enter your panel specs and number of panels and it will show what MPPTs match up. An RS 450/200 has 4 MPPT inputs so could arrange 4panel into each...

    Uk battery manufacturer for solar storage?

    Indeed. NB the following is a general comment not a complaint againt Myenergi in particular... My subconscious threshold of made in Britain was 'are the cells made here', or at least 'do they assemble the battery from imported cells' Then where does the B.M.S come from? What percentage of...

    Uk battery manufacturer for solar storage?

    Recently saw this which says myenergi battery made in UK https://www.tradesparky.com/solarsparky/battery-storage/myenergi/myenergi-libbi-505sh-hybrid-5kw5kw Can't find anything on myenergi website stating this though

    landline number without the landline

    Yes, think the newspaper article I read said that the lanyard safety device BT (?/others) offered on subscription which could be used for calling assistance in case someone has a fall and can't get to the phone to call for help no longer works, despite assurances apparently being made to the...
