Solar Edge vs Sunny Boy

Solar Edge vs Sunny Boy

I have two quotes for 10.9 kw systems. The first uses solaredge power optimizers and the second uses SMA sunny boy. Ive read a lot on both and I am leaning towards the sunny boy for a few reasons.

Cost - sunny boy quote is $2500 less

Power outage - Sunny boy allows you to run 2000 watts directly off the panels during the daytime when the grid is down. I’m in FL and lost power for a week with Irma last year. Would have liked to have been able to run a window ac unit, router, fridge, etc... I would have two of these so would have enough juice for quite a few items.

Shading - I have none so the largest benefit of the power optimizer is lost on me.

I really like the monitoring capabilities of the solaredge but I don’t think it outweighs the cost and capabilities of the sunnyboy in my application.

Would appreciate your thoughts.

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly

Aurora Inverter giving E050 error randomly The message requires a reset to get the inverter working again, but it's random - may happen a couple times a day, may skip a day or two. I have checked every connection, and even inside the inverter where the DC gets connected (2 arrays running). I tried turning off each array independently, but it continued for both lines at the same frequency. The only possible point of spark generation would be the connector box on the roof, which has wirenuts from the arrays themselves to the cable to the inverter. They are tight, but I went ahead and wrapped them with silicon tape (didn't help). Could the inverter itself have a problem? It is an Aurora PVI-3.0-OUTD-US and I can't find anything else in their manual. submitted by /u/Oliver_Dibble [visit reddit] [comments] https://ift.tt/2IrhYav
