Hi , I have a scaffold frame to hold them ,the present ones are fixed through the outer frame by high tensile wire. But I like the idea of a rail system , I have some japanese panels im very happy with but the main bulk of existing were korean . There is some corrosion inbetween the frame...

My existing panels are around 20 yrs old and starting to become a problem , My first question is can i get help from the government with replacing JUST panels , I live in a static caravan and the original installation was DIY. If ,as I suspect ,not could anyone recommend a make of replacement...

Hi murdock, please see attatched photos. this was a recent installation with new CU. But RCD by meter is quite old . I have also included diagrams from the manufacturer of the Epever invertor. who recommend no RCD . when the p.v panels are isolated everything runs fine ,but problems started when...

okay ,could you suggest what milliamps the new trip should be ? would a rcd/mcb or rcbo [as badger suggested] be better for D.C solar . I will get a sparky to install for me . Thanks folks Alan

I have some panels that would be around 15 years old ,when it rains they trip the AC 30 ma house circuit breaker [63amps]. after the isolator is turned off i can reset and all is well . where and how would i begin to test ,they are set up as two strings of 7 panels . I replaced a few that...

epever advised against smart lithium batteries for this inverter [dumb ones could of been used perhaps] the other consideration was the price and I also think battery technology is developing and hoping the AGM will last till another alternative appears on the market . thanks for the input I...

forgot to mention , the mains power went the other day and batteries where taken down to 43.2 and thus a warning was issued . later the whole system then went out ..darkness.. sorry bruspark have not looked at battery curves as i need my sparky mate to pop round and explain what to look at...

sorry to labour a point , but in your opinion is the default setting of 43.2volt a bit too low for a low voltage disconnect on a 48 volt system [AGM battery]. I imagine Epever have done it for good reason but to me it just seems wrong. thankyou

thankyou ucatchmydrift , I will have a look at the other settings then .

Okay thankyou Bruspark ,i need to look at my battery curves . would you say the default setting of 43.2 volts maybe ok then ?

Based nr Ashburton in Devon , I have just installed my third home solar kit ,the first was grid tied where as this latest is Hybrid with AGM 6 volt batteries. I also have an ancient 12 volt system cobbled together 15 years ago. thankfully I had some help from a friendly sparky .as electrics are...

HI ,I am having problems entering the LVD parameters setting ,at the moment the default is set at 43.2 volts this seems very low to me ,[what do you folks think?] I was hoping to up this to 48 volt [this is for 8 x 6volt cells ] 8KWH AGM batteries But the interface wont let me change [after...
