    Now that I know what we're talking about, ehh I guess I can deal with that haha

    A bit more with the SE11400 obviously.... mini toaster oven?

      Even then you're talking about fewer than 230w/hr, and how often is it really going to be cranking along at maximum capacity? Hopefully a lot, obviously, but we aren't exactly in Arizona here

        Only if your definition of 'toast' is warm bread

        • I took a few readings of the big aluminum heatsink on the side of the inverter with the palm of my hand. On a 90+ degree day while my SE11400 was cranking at >10kW, it's "very warm" to the touch , never even became uncomfortable leaving my palm on it. In comparison, a toasted roll will get uncomfortable, fast

          And I took a reading with an IR thermometer, the hottest point I could get was 107F. It's a bit tricky pointing it at the aluminum surface. Pointing at it from the sides max I could get was around 90F, but I knew it's hotter than that. I pointed it down the fins from above and hottest I could get was the 107F.

          In all seriousness, it will not make any difference as far as heating up my garage in the winter. I've only ever heard the fan come on once, and it wasn't even that hot that day.

          • Well just to keep the updates rolling guys...

            I DocuSigned our Part 2 of the Interconnection Agreement with JCP&L the other day and GPE stopped by to swap out the SREC meter for a working one, so we're all zeros, ready and waiting....

                From the time I signed part 2 till PTO was 11 days. Hope you fare better.

                Be on the lookout for the JCP&L electrician. He was a total ninja. The morning before I received the PTO email from GPE, I noticed a voltage drop when both my UPS' clicked, as if the laser printer came on and I thought nothing of it. Early in the afternoon there it was, the new meter, and couple hours later the PTO email came. Neither of my security cameras captured when JCP&L showed up The house didn't lose power when the meter was swapped.

                • Our guy came on a day when everyone happened to be home and he gamely waited by the meter for the five or so minutes that it took to finish baking something thatthat had been in the oven. We momentarily lost power a few times over a span of about fifteen minutes, but it was pretty painless. PTO came I think the next day.

                  • I also didn't lose power when they swapped my meter. I was home and didn't know they did until I went outside and saw the new meter much later. No idea how they did it...

                      Some places require a meter base with a bypass; This allows them to swap the meter without cutting power.

                      • Hey mine just came online today. But the utility never replaced their meter.... is that normal? I have the utility spinner type meter.

                        How do I get access to the interface of the inverted? GPE have to send me something?

                        Thanks

                          Same here...I'm not home, so not 100% my meter was in fact swapped, but what I got first was an email from Sungage Financial asking to release final payment.

                          Then a few hours later an email from GPE for the SolarEdge Login creation and a direct SolarEdge email stating the current access granted.
                          So congrats to us, it's all coming together!

                          My sun juice is FINALLY flowing as of 11:15am!!!

                          • Very cool. I just heard from JCPL. They will replace the meter in the next two weeks. We dont have to be present for that part.
                            I cant wait for access to the system. Did you setup that cool visualization of the system?

                                No word from JCP&L for me yet...I'll check on my meter when I get home, but aware that they'll just swap with no contact.

                                Nope no setup needed, GPE does all that and the default access has a Dashboard tab which is my first picture and Layout tab which is the second one.

                                Under the Layout tab there are other options such as physical layout vs. logical (breaks down system arrays by strings). It's really neat and I already emailed GPE to give me Full/Owner Access for the other tabs including Admin where you can setup API Access for data mirroring/monitoring sites like PVoutput.
