[RE-wrenches] SolarEdge

[Nick Soleil]

I was looking at the public systems on the Solar Edge site, but did not know 
which system was yours, Pekka.  However, I noticed that the system labelled 
AEE-Solar seemed to have an issue.  The production data for each day shows a 
huge drop in power during the middle of the day, which comes back up later in 
the afternoon.  That is not the kind of production that I would be looking for.  
Can anyone explain what is happening to there?

Hello everyone,

I have installed four SolarEdge systems so far and am happy share my 
experiences  My first installation is available for public monitoring via 
monitoring.solaredge.com.  It consists of 26 Aleo s_1.8 225W modules, 26 
PowerBoxes installed on Unirac solarmount rail and SolarEdge 5000US inverter. It 
was commissioned on June 6,2010 and has produced 6.3 MWh of total energy. 


Pros:
Module level monitoring
Centralized inverter
Safety voltage for servicing the system
Free internet monitoring & iPhone application 

Cons:
Additional wire management and zip-tieing to the racking system
Homerun is DC so it needs to be inside conduit (vs. Enphase)

Tip: Remember to write down your serial numbers for PowerBoxes before installing 
the modules.

I am happy to answer any other questions as well.

Best regards,

Pekka Laine
