    Solar Repair Help

    I'm not around as much as I used to, also semi retired, still own the company but not as much day to day operation. That said, if you wanted to look at an upgrade we could maybe help, but if you want to redo solaredge I'd pass on the opportunity as its a no win for my group. I really dont care...

    Solar panel Cleaning?

    Here is your answer, first spray with water only, brush if needed. Dont recommend chemicals, soft soap if any at most.

    Ouuuuuuch

    Partially correct, under NEM3 which you are now the utility has the ability under rule 21 to tap your power for the grid if needed, they can also turn off your PV if deemed necessary remotely. To my knowledge they have not been using these powers, but they have them, so Zig is technically...

    Solar dilemma

    Sounds like a customer of mine. I can tell you there is currently a fight between Enphase and LA regarding battery spacing. I currently have 2 battery projects on hold in County of LA due to this issue. Just this week Enphase advised if needed we should move to the previous version 10kw...

    Home Solar Upgrade Question

    Sorry guys been out of touch. Was racing at Barber Motorsports in Alabama, what an amazing place. This is a program that will allow those who have significantly undersized systems catch up without losing their NEM1 or 2 status. It is a bit complicated and definately not for everyone but for...

    Palomar Solar

    Just talked to @Done-it-again and I dont think he will mind me sharing. I am not going to say I havent ever found a roof where we caused a leak, we drill thousands of holes a year into roofs during install, its going to happen. But its very rare, what we generally find is roof leaks at...

    Solar Production Question

    It was the panel, but enphase gave us an inverter for you so we swapped it anyway as the new ones actually are better. But ... your roof is in need of attention, just fyi I will have one of my guys get you a quote, but you wont like it. Not much time is left on these shingles. The granuals...

    Solar Production Question

    It is definitely the panel, we will be swapping it out to a 320 from our old stock. As a longtime RDP member you wont be paying the fee as quoted and we will take whatever LG offers as a warrantee as our reimbursement for the panel we provide. Be patient as we will be doing the swap when we...

    Solar Production Question

    Unfortunately you are most likely not correct, are there micro failures? Occasionally, but not common, much more common are panel issues, especially when noting a 1/3 or 2/3 issue in production. That said the difference with us is at least we will answer the phone and try to help. Even if it...

    Solar Production Question

    Of course you are a long time customer and RDP so maybe you know someone who can make something work for you. Unfortunately as we grow not everyone knows what RDP means to us as a company, always best to pass me a note directly so i can intervene. Stand by,

    Solar Production Question

    Just back from the holidays, also noted my team has talked to you, but if its 66% then most likely a panel issue, I will check and get back to you.

    Home build thoughts

    I can definately tie the genset in as support for the PV/Battery. This is an off grid ranch in Idaho we did. Batteries on this day dropped to 25% at 12:15 in the morning and the system started the genset, it charged the betteries to his set point and then turned it off, sun barely came up that...
