Solar edge

[fiardor]

Although you do have to register the system you dont have to link it up to the internet (same with Enecsys and Tigo).

We have done 4 solar edges and only 1 wanted monitoring which ended up being a real pain as he only had one port on his router so we had to buy him a new one.

Its a bit labourious waiting for the optimisers to register on the inverter display but i like the sytem and it obvioulsy works well with shading issues.

Ohh - depends on your mounting system, but i use Renusol and i buy extra "T" bolts and nuts to bolt the optimiser onto the rail.

TIP bolt the optimezer on under side of rail then the bolts dont get in way or land where you need to put clamps in

you have more chance of winning the lottery than the guys at solar edge registering your install within 3 days , how can you register before install any way as you do not know PB's layout before you place them down.

We have installed over 50 solar edge systems and got them all online , its stuiped to use this system then not link it to router you can buy wirless powerline plug tops for £40.00 that usally does the trick.

I LOVE SOLAR EDGE & SOLAR EDGE LOVES ME ! xxxxxxx

you may open the inverter box and change the terminal from the inside...

Easy mate, as soon as it comes i register the inverter on the system so the site is live before install, do the insall then submit the layout plan!

So we got to do this solar edge install next week so lets get this clear! no probs with mounting units under panels (like u said ) makes it easy to connect panels after its all been cable tied up! bit im not sure about ie plan of panels (do the units have numbers ?) ie so u no where one is if it fails? also do i do cable to router (as per diagram) or use the wirless plug types ! registering it i presume when u fire it all up and it pics the kit up u do it then? dont no where router is yet but if diff then easier option wirless

1) - To map the PB's either use the Iphone app - or draw the layout and stick the peel of barcodes onto your map as per my earlier thread - i uploaded one ive have done.
2) - Cable or wireless your call, wireless cost more money and i like cable, its a more long term solution.
3) - When the inverter arrives from the supplier open the box, take out pink bag and go online, register the site using the invert S/N. Do the install and map the PB's with the peel off stickers as per example, email the sketch to SE and they will update the site to reflect the actual layout. Each PB has a unique identifier so you can tell were each one is. Dead easy honest.

Thanks for advise ! shame this one will be the last! sounds a great answer to getting the best out of a pv system (with shading issues) dont think its a cost effective on 16/13p system

I phone takes too long - --- peel the stickers off and attach them to the layout sheet.

dansk do you peel off stickers on pb's before you get to site ?

nope, do that onsite as dont know were im putting em.

 

[VMan]

there is a plugin you can buy to enable to use any inverter with SE optimisers - but just use the system as a whole its great.

can you advise the name of these adaptors or a link to them?

thanks

Hi - Accessories SolarEdge Safety & Monitoring Interface

 

[BruceB]

I am doing my first solar edge installation and impressed so far. One question, one pointer for others:

- question - I have sent off the layout to solar edge through their website. How long before I can expect to be able to log on? Am I waiting for an email? Or at some stage will the username and pasword I gave them just work?

- pointer - found this netgear device which just hangs out the bottom of the inverter and allows it to join the household wireless network to connect to the internet.
WNCE2001 on the shelf in pcworld although even a bright staff member had not appreciated it was the answer to my problem
It is only about 3" x 2" in size. Went for it as Segen do not appear to stock the solar edge zigbee mesh network accessory.

Regards
Bruce

[Eco Deal]

dont worry takes ages and they dont work fridays

 

[powervan]

pre wired ! nice bit of kit!

 

[SolarCity]

Finishing off installing one of these systems today and I'm looking at wireless monitoring. Is it straightforward? I think I'll get hold of one of those devices that Bruce is talking about and work it out from there.

Use Home plugs mate - - | Pcworld Much easier than the wireless
