Topic: micro

Got an early start before sun rise. The solar array's micro inverters communication not reporting issues are finally resolved. Given that the communication is done over the power line, the signal degrades over a distance. The solution is to split the arrays half and center feeding the AC trunk and communications hub in the middle of it so it's closer to the source.   The downside  is I have put the communication hub in the back yard in the metal cabinet. The problem is anything with an RF sig...

175 watts is the total power being pulled from the grid. 1 x 128 core server and 2 routers.  Half of the solar panels being shaded by 5pm.  I can probably  squeeze more power from the panels and bump the efficiency up a bit if I switch to the enphase 240v micro inverters instead of the current single string 125v grid tie inverter.
