Hi..!

I had 2 soladin 600 gbr models 1 of them was and is still working which is the first grid tie inverter i bought. i used it since january- 2012 and then in start of june i got another soladin 600 and wired them together LL ,NN at the landis & gyr P.v. meter as its no different then having 2 plugs going into a double socket as theres only 1-cable going into the back of the socket anyway. Never mind the safety part..! Anyways it said in the manual u can connect 2 soladins so i did... but in theory this is not possible to me as grid voltage ripples , inverter 1 matches grid ok..! but is off the grid voltage by 1- volt , then we have inverter 2 matching grid output of inverter 1 -then making voltage 2 volts out of sink with the grid voltage. .. any way was working for 3 days with both connected then on day 3 sun came out and the new soladin 600 i just added on kept losing the recloser time every 2 minutes while inverter 1 soladin 600 was happily working away. Waited 10 mins on the new soladin and notting, still flashing red after 10min while the other inverter was working . Got tired of waiting so knocked off the mcb waited 10 secs then turned it back on 1st soladin turned on orange everything ok ...2nd new soladin followed suit 20 secs later all well suns out go back to sit in the sun and 10 mins later i hear the relay click sound coming from the shed thought crap its off again in the new soladin , turned ac mcb off again turned on again went to observe new soladin and its recloser time relay clicked made a not nice arcing sound turned to orange then went to permanent red , and a faint smell of a burnt resistor or fuse inside it but very faint.. piece of crap..! Ok... ever heard of this before ...:nonod: I bought this flaky inverter off ebay .. and i was going to send it back to amsterdam but then i was thinking the person i bought it off said they bought it in a car boot sale .. . either its naturally faulty from the china factory with its crap no quality control or somewhere in hand of so many people someone must have dropped it onto the ground several times or so...:hammer: it was new when i got it bought owned by 3 different people before me 1st person was an installer , some how it ended up at acar boot sale... Anyway .. i thought of sending it back to amsterdam , the shop in london will give me a new one but if it turns out someone dropped it on the ground in its short life ..i will get a bill of 500 quid from mastervolt... what should i do... ? i think i will open it tomorrow...? solar paybacks a bitch.. if it dont work and ur a cheapskate like me.. oh ya i forgot it tripped the mcb on its own circuit back to the fuse board main. but the other soladin number 1 worked when i turned the mcb back on no suprize there.
