They have to be cooled otherwise will produce less if they are verry hot. I have two gmi 700w with cooler on top and holes on bottom to flow the air and extract the heat and they have 33-35 degree celsius on full load on a super hot summer day. And verry important when you buy it,first desassemby and remove the peels betwen aluminium case and mosfets.
yes i have a video on the mofsets , amazing how they still build them like that ...
@@TheCrazyRomanian Last summer bought 3x GMI-700 and all had that blue tape. Mine inverters are attached to 595W panels, so definitely needed additional cooling. But I went with passive cooling: attached old CPU heatsinks to front and bottom. Still work after 1 year.
How to install coolers on them?
I idea of the Micro is to mount them under the panels and running a long AC cable back to your outlet. Running a long DC cable you will have huge DC voltage drop to the inverter. Running a long AC cable you won't get any voltage lose.
They can't handle the 150f temperatures in the summer outside
@@TheCrazyRomanian Thank you for stating the temperature 🌡 issue. You can't mount these under a panel.
@@153SCORN why that's where your ment to mount them tho.
Which app you used with those micro inverters to watch the produced charts? The ones you show in 00:37 sec?
Emporia smart socket
Te rog sa pui într-un play list toate postările despre tot ce tine de fotovoltaice!
Mulțumesc!
Very cool.
Thanks for the video 👍
I've watched this dozens of times. I also saw your video on Grid Tie Limiter. By using this system are you subsidizing the line for use in the house or is this system pushing back into the grid? I'm in Texas and we don't have net metering and I'd like a 500 Watt system because that is the base line of what my house uses at any given time. Thanks for your response.
Hi, maybe I have a related question: for a 455Wp solarpanel & GMI500 inverter (same family as video one), do you actually need an 16A fuse?
I am doing something very simple like this (inspired by your videos!). AC 120@60Hz Coming out from the inverter has just two wires or three? I understand that one will be "hot" and one will be "ground" but is a neutral wire coming from the inverter as well and if so what do I do with it (or do I have the neutral and ground reversed in my head)?
Sounds great! It's way less dangerous that they make it sound
Hi , what app for monitoring solar panels you use with these micro inverters? TA
Emporia
Do you have to unplug the fans in winter when you don't need them?
I need to know the AC Cable connector size? M25, M20, or M11 ? My inverter (same as yours) did not come with an AC Cable tie connector. I've searched the interwebs and just cannot find out what size that M connector is.
Does this have any type off anti islanding function or power limiting? Here in ca they get pretty upset when you back feed the power and electrocute one of their line men working on the lines also if you produce more power and back feed the line they also get mad unless you have permits and all that good stuff. So basically if you want to sneak a grid tie then you need to make sure you never feed any power back through the meeter.
They stop supplying AC to grid immediately, when there are no AC on the grid. But they don't have any means to suppress backfeeding to the grid, so you need to have energy meter installed by your power company, that is capable of 2 directional metering or you will be charged not only for imported electricity from the grid, but also for exported to the grid.
Im surprised they work that long
Hi, i have house in the village off grid sistem. Can i put micro inverter with solar panel in this off grid sistem. Thanks
No you need power
How did you hook it to 110v outlet power strip, talk about that in a video , share your diagram good sir 😎🤙🏽
Add heat sinks on housings for passive cooling and higher efficiency. Are those fans full-time or thermostatic?
Timer controlled ... And fins are expensive ...
@@TheCrazyRomanian Easy - just find a length of steel or ali trunking in a dumpster, cut to lengths and glue it on. Easy fins.
I bought this . I'm no electrician but ac part having hard time with.
I'm use to red, black and white
I bought male extension end brown went brass screw and blue to silver and yellow to green screw this right?
Then I got solar panel 205 w offered up but think end look like male help
Inverter say pv there a difference ?
Doesn't matter what order you connect them z it's a after all, just make sure ground stays ground
what is your opinion about a heat sink?
Would you recommend this to handle 7500w?
How do you succeed 0 feed back to the grid.....can you put a limiter or something?
No limiter , they produce less then I have as a base
Thanks for the great info. I'm also looking at building a efficienct $$$ wise system, probably with 4 of these. How do you think they would handle ambient temperature of 30C? Do you know what temp they get to at full load with the fan's vs without them?
Fans help a lot . I would not put them outside . If you already have a budget for 4 , I would recommend use that money for a grid tie inverter with power limiter , the blue one with the screen . I'm getting that one next
@@TheCrazyRomanian How you monitoring the production ? I m verry intersted. I have two gmi 700.Thanks
great review, what is that solar monitor that you're using ! Thank you for the optimistic thinking ;-)
I've found my answer in your other video ! Thank you
Are those two inverters still running?
Mine has failed after 11 months.
They told me it's quite usual for that model.
Still running today. They have soldered fuse in it that can pop. You can replace it easy
Hi, can i put this on grid inverter on my ac solar 220v inverter from battery. Thanks
Does not work with battery
I have 220v
how does yor app work ??? i do not understand do you havev bluethooth ??? are the inverters smart ???
I use an emporia smart plug
Can you add a link to the plug you use to monitor your energy use?
Do you have limiter?
No .. but my base is 300 watts. Never lower
remove GreenBlack&Orange Label too . . .
Those are "made in china", not Chinese
You bored enough to to correct people online ?
@@TheCrazyRomanian hahaha 😂 get em Vegas
Does this micro inverter work well? Does it cause any problems?
