    Isc 25.7 A
    Imp 2.4 A

    The breaker that keeps tripping is a Square D, type tipo, 10kA, 240 (Amperage?).

    I am no electrical genius so if there is info here that needs clarification let me know and I'll try to clarify as best I can.

    thanks again

    What is the number molded into the trip and reset handle?
    It will need to be higher than 30 as that inverter at peak production can put out over 30A

    started a topic Fronius IG Plus inverter issue?

    Fronius IG Plus inverter issue?

    So, I'm totally new to the solar world, and am currently renting a place that runs off of solar electricity that is grid-tied. It has a Fronius IG Plus inverter that is mounted on the North side of the house, but also on a side that gets a lot of sunlight daily as this property has virtually no shade what so ever.

    So the problem that I am encountering is that every single day since June, the inverter reads "State 207" at around 1:30pm, which I looked up, and I understand indicates that the solar system is not connected to the grid any longer. I called solar city regarding this, and they told me to go check the breaker panel and reset the "Photovoltaic backfeed" breaker. (Which has become a daily routine at this point, in the afternoons) I guess my question is, could this be an issue with the inverter overheating, since its getting direct sunlight all day long, and its been in the 90-100s since early June. (Unusual for Colorado....but it is what it is) Or does anyone else have a sneaky suspicion as to what could be causing this breaker to trip every day, and disconnecting the solar system from the grid?

    Thanks!
