Microinverters are sold to suckers. They clip the output of a 430 Watt panel to 290 Watts. If a string inverter has a wide MPPT voltage range like 60 to 480 volts, you can shade panels in the string and not lose the power from the others so long as the unshaded panels produce more than 60 volts. Micro inverters are a waste of $175 per panel. The sales guy loves them as they double the profit. Multi input string inverters are optimal. That's why the Tesla Powerwall 3 has six MPPT inputs. You can have six segments in the array and never have to climb on the roof to replace a failed microinverter.

That’s not trumps boy Elon says kzbin.info/www/bejne/noqraWhnec-AsJYsi=11fiZ8o5H1QCp2te

I've had this question on my mind for so long. And this is one the most comprehensive explanations I've come across so far. I really appreciate it!

What about the Ledvance inverters?

Victron Energy has good algorithm as string inverter for the shade or not?

This is cringe. It's like an informercial. Most brands include a platform now. So Solar Analytics is redundant

Incredible work! I know a few people who have built great scalable businesses off the back of McDonaldsing :) Absolutely impressive, and the system you installed for me continues to go strong and always happy to recommend you!

Í guess Jake will be handing back the Enphase Award? What happened to the "safety" claims about DC not running through the roof?

2 PW3’s with 2-inbuilt inverters. Is the second inverter utilised or is it redundant?

What happened to the claim of "never installing DC string inverter systems"? 🤔

Switchboard stated inverter in garage? What was the setup? 2 powerwall 3s setup as battery only?

So no Enphase microinverters, 19 panels DC to batteries inverter. DC 600volts through the roof attic space and 600volts DC down inside the wall cavity. No rooftop fires, which is good. 😊😊

people do not understand that the grid itself has a large cost to the customer. That is seen in my 5cents kWh feedin and 50cents kWh supply. But if all your energy comes off your roof and you stop gas heating etc, and petroleum purchases and grid supply electricity usage then the benefits to the customers just gets better. Grid owners are terrified of this. The suggestion that the grid may have to turn off rooftop PV with higher feedin causing grid destabilisation is a worry that customers may not turn the grid back on. Just leave the grid turned off until the customer needs a little more to top off the home battery now and again. As the grid cost itself are fixed, costs will need to be shared with fewer customers. 4million rooftop PV today, EVs being charged from home, v2g Australian Standards are being developed. More and bigger rooftop PV being installed. 10, 13, 17kW systems. People are trading in their old EVs for newer ones. The v2g features will stimulate more trade-ins. Selfplug-in selfparking will add to the v2g. When 20million 6.6kW rooftop PV then the customers will generate 660gWh. This is more than the fossil fueled 600gWh daily maximum possible. Actually, the avg demand is only 400gWh. I bet the grid owners will do a deal with rooftop PV customers and sign up heavy industrial customers moving away from fossil fuels. Same grid, more customers, less central generation, less distant renewables. Customers with an EV parked at home every day will have the v2g EV as a massive home battery backup. Customers who can plug in at work will do the same. Trickle all day long. 23hrs every day. 😊

Powerwall 3 or Sigenstor?!

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

i really no nothing when it comes to solar systems. i cant connect to the grid would a 6.6kw system be able to run 2 freezers 1 fridge and tv maybe some power tools and air compressor?

20mm corrugated conduit, Yuck, what with Electrician's, don't they know how to bend conduit anymore, everything the quickest and cheapest way.

Would like to see Ron at Fronius explain to a customer that lost their system to a fire contributed to by Fronius in some reasonable accident that whole bike helmet inside your car analogy.

Guaranteed in the 20-25 year life of your string inverter system you will need to replace it with a new one at least 2x so buying 3 inverters. For Enphase proven reliability is you will maybe replace 2 microinverters so you'll spend n+2 on microinverters.

Well done and congrats Penrith Solar Centre

Bullshit😂

At that cost ...go with Echo flow..instead.

I thought Tesla will be bringing a 3-phase inverter for Powerwall 3 in 2025

Hi Jake..We're building an all-electric home in Melbourne's south-east, opted in to use three-phase power. Now I'm doubting if I truly need the 3-phase. We are installing a 10kw solar system and considering putting the Tesla P3 as a battery backup. My concern is that one phase can power all of our electrical appliances, including heat pumps and split systems [23sq single storey home].Thank you!

Any issues with PW3 failures?

Hi there, I'm in Brazil and I work with solar energy as well. What softare did you use for the layout of the solar modules? Very nice job!

How did you run the wires between the two batteries? I don’t see any conduit, did you go out the back?

I'm off grid and it is quite cheap to heat water with excess PV if you understand the technology. I designed a PV diverter to resistive heater that will only take the excess, be it 5W or 1KW, and puts that into heating water. It detects when array voltage exceeds the exceeds expected value and diverts only enough energy to bring that voltage back to Vmp. I didn't install any extra panels and it works fine in parallel with any MPPT charge controller. It costs less than $50US to build. I have a very minimal system and I can make enough hot water that my clothes washer uses hot water for every cycle. Amazing that everyone isn't doing this with units that China could easily produce. Solar people are just too technically challenged to understand this technology.

Looks nice. I also wait with great anticipation for the Enphase IQ 10p battery coming out Q1 2025. Should come at a similar price and enables all the inherent safety and other benefits of micro inverters systems: - Flexibility of panel placement on the roof. Can have different orientations as each micro and panel is independent . Can easily manage different roof levels as AC cabling more flexible. - System can be easily expanded later as you just add more panels with micros underneath. No need to change the whole central inverter. - Is very good managing shading - Safety as AC is low voltage and rapid shut down built in - Longer system life time and warranties compared to string inverters - Resilience. Should one micro fail then rest of system still producing - Module level monitoring and diagnostics - Sunlight backup without grid or battery power as long as there is sun (Enphase IQ8)

Do you have tap the AP mode after successfully connected … or AP mode gets disabled automatically?

Thank you for all the information. My two power wall threes are working beautifully.

Thank you for your master classes. I have two powerwalls 3 in the USA. We have two wires and a neutral coming into our homes. The two wires are 180° out of phase and the neutral is between them. So each phase is 120 V and between the two out of phase wires are at 220 V. Almost all Outlets in our home are 110 V. Special appliances like a dryer electric stove, hot water heater most heat pumps and air conditioning are typically 220 V. The powerwall 3 supplies 220 V with a neutral so it can run the whole house. I have a Sawmill that runs on 220 V single phase 10 hp. Everything is running beautifully with 10K solar input. Very happy with the Powerwall 3

I have two power wall threes and they are working wonderful. thank you for the overview that has helped me interpret the Tesla app better

micro inverter will have clipping issues, max output for micro inverter is 480w there will be loss in this system

Verandah in the roof space with Colorbond metal roofing would be safer with Enphase microinverters I would think. What can you tell me ?

The roof attic space must be cooler under the PV panels. ??? 😎 ⛱️ 😎

Excuse me, but Tasmania sun sets far later than it does in Queensland. Shouldn't that make a bit of a difference? When the sun sets in Qld, it's like someone switched a light off, it's that fast.

What do you need for a one person occupant house?

Lost me at "I broke the solar industry". Pull the other one.

Jake, you have convinced me to sell my Enphase shares.

Great vi❤deo

Yes you're right. Your huge battery storage will help it run longer but output will be maximised at 10kW only. On Single phase there is dostributor regulations, so despite the above limitation it will still be best solution as no distributor will approve more than 10kW Inverter capacity on Sngle phase

bring on the DC OPTIMISERS

can i run 2 POWERWALL3s on single phase ie 27kw?

Recovery time is only quick in heat pump systems because of the traditional electric booster element!!!!

So, is Penrith Solar Centre dumping Enphase microinverters. TSLA is the best! Also, looking good there Jake, leaning out, keep it up, and congrats on the effort.

How close together can Powerwall 3 batteries be placed on the inside of a brick garage and on a concrete floor?

You must be doing well you wearing a Rolex
