Yes that could be the route to go now. Connected between breaker and inverter. Do you see any problem to run the setup some days without parallel connection between the batteries? Pink
-
Lug and wire look as when it was new. Wire is 35mm2 but expand when remove the protection around and not easy to handle at all. Pink

I can confirm the coloring is just outside and im able to sand off a good part of it. I have just removed my parallel connection between the breakers and will find another way for doing this. I guess i can still use the the setup temporary without parallel batteries? Pink

Currently my parallel connection is after on/off breaker and before inverter. Is there any problem to parallel the batteries before breaker on battery side? Pink
-
Yes look so. Maybe i should dessable the wires for parallel for now. And then look for other way to parallel? Pink
-
Thanks for the reply. I use 2 connector in same hole. one from inverter and 1 for parallel. Here is a photo from underside where the 2 connectors connected. Pink

I just noticed Brown spots on my one battery breakers front and under on the one pole. Any ideas what is this? Should i still use it? replace? It have never switched yet Pink

Pink7 replied to Crossy's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Until this month i been very confident on my solar power capacity, but with this heat, location of the sun (Im getting max 6000kwh now, 5-6 months ago 7000kwh was max) and school off so kids AC running in daytime also Im might a bit in the short side. Pink -

Not easy to say but could be it happened around time we got some cleaning done with hose but I dont know whats the chance for any water to have made the issue. Im quite sure it was not matter of not plugged. Both connectors were original connectors on the solar panels so I would expect they to be well crimped..but I guess fails happens. Pink -

Pink7 replied to Pink7's topic in Alternative/Renewable Energy Forum
Yesterday afternoon I pulled down the one panel and replaced one connector on each on the two pannels and mounted it all back and connected the wires. This morning i first tested the voltage on the breaker before open it to power the inverter. Now i see power is same or better than the other side of the roof so the fix look to be successfully as for now. Pink -

Now I feel it strange i not discovered it before, maybe if it was in front side roof i have seen it before. The good part of this is that I found the reason why I am on low power and it should be fixable. Pink -

Yes I was thinking same. I will pull down the 2 affected panels and replace connectors and test them. Hopefully panels still ok. When close up photo i see black on the steel so look like some electrical shock pulled the connector apart and broke it. Pink -

As mention in last post last weeks i was starting to get lower watt level than what im used to. First i thought it was the moment of the sun..then last day i was sure it was quite sure it was a matter of cleaning. But after cleaning still same. Than this morning we found out them my one side of panels have a broken connector so that side is 50% with only 7 of the 14 active. From photo look like the connector is damages and we see some black on the steel frame on the roof. Any idea how this could have happen? Now i make a plan to take down the one panel who block the access to the panel with issue then replace the connectors and test the panel with watt/amp meter. Pink
