    Tesla inverter DC wiring

    my roof is 30% tilt. and since it is NE and NW, they are only 90° opposite, not 180°. The report says it can work but it would have been just so much better if they put it on a fourth string. The inverter supports it after all, so they just skimped on wiring and a bigger conduit. I am fairly...

    do they just drop out over night or is there a certain pattern when you loose em?

    Tesla inverter DC wiring

    Tesla did installation inspection today and confirmed my assumption. In order to parallel panels, they must be the same size, so they couldn't parallel 2+3 NE facing. Instead they chose to parallel 3 NE + 3 NW (stupid) instead of just running a fourth string. So now I am loosing out on those...

    Tesla inverter DC wiring

    well ... the 5 panels NE is 2 arrays (2 + 3 panels). I think they gave the 2 panels a string, have the 6 SE on a string and connected the 3 NE + 3 SW into a string of 6 ... that would make sense from the voltage reading. So maybe they put the 3 NE + 3 SW on one string and paralleled it on input...

    Tesla inverter DC wiring

    yeah, panels pretty much unshaded. 6 facing south-east, 5 facing north-east, 3 facing south-west. the NE ones will have very little sun at this time because the sun stands a little low in November. I am about to shade some panels to get an idea which string is which array :)

    Tesla inverter DC wiring

    I have 4 arrays on the roof facing 3 directions (6 + 5 + 3 panels). So I get why they did 3 strings. I am just not sure why they decided to parallel one of them and the others not. When checking installer access on TEG, I see the individual string readings and surprisingly it is the middle...

    Tesla inverter DC wiring

    Hi, brand new owner of Tesla inverter as well. I got 3 strings coming off the roof and electrician jumped one string like shown here as well. Any idea why they jump the strings? Thanks
