I'm done with you, you asked at the start how I produced what I did. I told you I had micros connected directly to my Sunsynk which I do. You then went on to tell me I was wrong and I didn't understand my system. Go back and edit some more of your posts why don't ya. Make yourself look better.
Adding information.
No, it's no semantics. I was right about the microinverter enabled panels going straight to the grid. That's why those two graphs are so far apart in what they're showing. The first is showing what the 5kW inverter sees, the second is the overall generating capacity.
So show us that second graph in kWh's then. The micros will kill power themselves as soon as the grid power is lost, that's the safety requirements.
Why do you keep editing your posts? It makes it very difficult to reply properly.
At this stage now we're into semantics. I told you from the very start how my system worked and you just went straight to telling me how I was wrong and how I didn't understand it.
The cable from the microinverters connects directly to my Sunsynk inverter. Yes it allows passthrough, when the inverter is on. If the inverter shuts down then the power to the micro's is killed. It allows monitoring of the peak power and energy produced. It also allows frequency shifting off grid to charge the batteries from the microinverters.
And what does it say at the very end of that post? And they're not connected to the inverter, they're connected to its gen port (max 4kW) which is a bypass directly to the grid. It's likely the 5.95kWp capacity is on the large inverter strings, the remaining are on microinverters to the grid via the gen port. Were they added later?
This is what you said at the start. You said they can't be connected to the inverter, you were wrong, it is connected to the inverter.
Well you are, I'm not being a smart@$$ here. In my very first post I said that the only way this would work is if the panels with microinverters bypassed the larger inverter and went directly to the grid, which the gen port on the SunSynk actually does, I've just read its manual. What connection agreement form do you have with ESB, more importantly, do you have a smart meter?
You can't, it connects to the gen port on the inverter. Why didn't you just ask me from the start instead of telling me I was wrong?
I asked you about this before, you said the full 10.75kWp wasn't connected to the inverter. So if you are actually putting out over 9kWs and your inverter is only rated for 6.5kWh's, you're going to have a serious problem in about a month.
It can because you can connect microinverters directly to a Sunsynk.
Well then tell the program which produced the second graph to show it in 'kWh's.' 😉 We'll soon see who's right.
And again, microinverters convert DC to AC, you can't use them with a string inverter like the 5kW SunSynk you have, it only accepts DC on the input. Did you mean optimizers?
It can't produce 7kW, it's max is 6.5kW. The most it could ever produce is 6.5kW's per hour on its best day, no losses. So, just 6.5kWhs per hour.
Look at the graph again, I was also often below 2kw over that time too.
A system that produces 6.2kwh doesn't have to produce 6.2kw for an hour. It could produce 2kw for a time, then 7kw and so on. Essentially averaging out at 6.2kwh. You saying this "Yes, it's showing 6.2kW for an hour, which is still 6.2kW peak" is just a misunderstanding of how it works on your part. 6.2kwh is not the same as 6.2kw peak.
No you didn't. It's rated at 6.5 kW max. From the second graph you were regularly above 9kW for the hour at noon. The average for the hour should be at least 8kWh, you only got 6.2kWh. Explain.
There also another issue, microinverters convert DC to AC, you can't use them with a string inverter like the 5kW SunSynk you have, it only accepts DC on the input. Did you mean optimizers?
Did you take the time to read everything I said again? I've explained it to you and all you do is come back and tell me I'm wrong and I don't understand my system, I'm not taking it personally, I'm frustrated.
Except your explanation doesn't make sense. How can a system rated to produce 6.5kWs maximum peak input from the solar array, produce 6.2 kW hours, in the space of an hour, in any other way than it peaked out at 6.2 kWs, and did so for an hour?
I've already explained to you how it's possible but you refuse to acknowledge it for some strange reason. Read back all I've posted. Slowly.
How does a system rated at 6.5kW peak, produce peaks of over 9kW as shown in the second graph? You're taking this very personally, did you set this up yourself?
Amazing how somone can be so confident and arrogant, all while being so wrong. I know exactly what my system is doing.
What are kilowatts over time measured as? What being shown at the bottom of the second graph? The second graph is also giving you kilowatts over time. I'm simply pointing out that your graphs are contradicting each other. If an installer set this up, I'd be contacting them. Finally, how is a system rated for 6.5kW peak, producing peaks of over 9kW's shown in the second graph?
The second graph is kw. Peak power which is different to energy. W
That's just proving you don't know what's going on….6.2 peak for an hour is what's required to produce 6.2kWh's Why don't you show the math of how 6.2kWh's over an hours time frame can be achieved in any other way on an inverter system that can only handle 6.5kW max.
3kWh's. Both graphs are showing over time, they are both in kWh, one just left out the h. The Top graph is also splitting it into hour intervals, the inverter can only handle 6.2, therefore in full sun, the most you can get is 6.2kW per hour, so 6.2kW peak, which is required to get 6.2kWh.
"Yes, it's showing 6.2kW for an hour, which is still 6.2kW peak. BTW the second graph is showing generation over time also, so it's kWh, it just doesn't show the h."
👆
Never said it was.
What if I produce 6kw for half an hour and 0kw for half an hour. How many kwh have I produced?
The second graph is kw.
Yes it is, the second graph is also over time, so it's kWh also. If I generate 6kW for an hour, how many kWh's have I generated?
Peak power is not the same as energy produced.
