People often ask me "Michael, I've bought this PV150 kit, how does it work?"
My answer usually involves several 60 min webinars, a 76 page guide, a white paper and a suggestion to take up a solar course at SEI.
However, if you want to get up and running with the kit and not worry about the theory behind it check out this PV150 Complete Kit 5 Minute Crash Course.
I do highly recommend a proper training course though.
The PV150 Complete Kit is available with next day delivery from our sales and service facility in Tampa, Florida. I also offer day rates for on site solar O&M training.

    Hi, When I import the data from the PV 150 into the Solar Data logger the data is separated by commas. I get an error in SolarCert. I then import the data into csv so that it appears in columns. SolarCert imports my string data. When I create a report after choosing a PV module the IV curve shows the IV curve for Nom only. Not STC and no measured data even though the measured string data is displayed below the graph.

      @@chrismurphy7324 Tell me then, how does the Residual Current Breaker (RCB) works? When you have a fault you "give an extra path" to that current flow. You are right when you say amps are not lost in the circuit, but when you have a fault your circuit changes. You add a node on your circuit, that's why your current changes.
