<p>An IR camera may be helpful. FIir has some really affordable
models now, I have the TG 167 which is plenty of resolution for
electrical. They can find problems in load centers really fast; we
found an overloaded neutral the other day we would not have
noticed otherwise. <br>

one. I would be surprised if the PV system has anything to
do with this. We’ve experienced strange electrical
intermittent problems and they have almost always been
related to grounding or neutral problems. I realize that two
different electricians have checked out the site, but maybe
they missed something like a loose neutral (check all the
way back to the service point of connection). It might be
worth calling the utility out as well incase their feed has
problems.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">Friends
of mine got a Sunpower system installed last year. Ever since
then they have had intermittent problems with circuits in
their house going dead.<br>
<br>
The array is 14 each Sunpower SPR E20 327 C AC. The array is
mounted on a corrugated steel roof on their garage, about 20
feet from the house.<br>
<br>
What happens is that a circuit in their house will either go
dead or brown out so lights barely glow. This happens to
various circuits and at any time of day or night. The rest of
the circuits will work fine and the event will last an hour or
two. The breakers don't trip. They have had two different
electricians there to check the house wiring and it's all
solid.<br>
<br>
Any ideas? Some kind of metal roof capacitance?<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
