LeeMun Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Hi. On the Mecer 5kVA - what’s the setting to prioritize it to bypass to solar during the day or when there is enough sun and to bypass to eskom when there is no sun or at night. l have 6 panels of 370W each. 3 in series giving 120V and the other 3 in series again then the 2 sets in parallel. 1 x 3.6kWh battery so far. system connected and working fine. just need help with the settings.

Setting 01: set it to SOL (it might have a different name depending on the exact model). 14 hours ago, LeeMun said: 3 in series giving 120V and... Sigh. 120 V is higher than the MPPT top voltage (115 V), and will make the SCC run hotter and probably limit its power throughput. With 6 panels (2.2 kW nominal) it might work OK in summer. You'll likely need to rewire them as 2S3P eventually. BTW the sigh is only because this is such a common situation, and I seem to have to say it twice a week.

Brian Chetty Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hi guys I just purchased a 5kva mecer inverter and 24 solar panels.

Maybe as your signature at the bottom of the page where some members list their components, you should write: 72 cell panels must be in a 2S configuration!!

Will also help if you post some pictures of what you already have then someone will be able to point you in the right direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
