  1. Fluctuating PV power in PowMr inverter

    Elf posted a topic in Solar Power
    Hi Guys, This PowMr 5500 48V has been in operation for 3 years. It is supplied by three strings which are overclocked/overrated by 50% into one MPPT input. It has started to intermittently (10 seconds to about a minute) produce up to a thousand additional PV watts without a change in load. It will also fluctuate to zero watts and return to normal when the inverter is close to the max load. It then remains steady at full load. I have checked the field connections and I believe everything is in order. I have attached a video of my SA screen during this fluctuation. I am concerned a component failure is imminent - or could there be a problem in the array causing this? I would be thankful for any feedback/personal experience with this problem. Thanks! powmr s s.mp4
