April 18, 20233 yr comment_13162 PV Sol has suggested I can input three strings into one tracker for a Solis inverter. However the manufacturer's design software only enables 2 strings. Why has PV Sol recommended an option that isn't possible? I've attached screenshots of both designs. I'm using Trina TSM-420DE09R.08 panels and the site is in Colchester, UK. Report
April 21, 20233 yr comment_13193 Hi RachelEnergy, recently, another user had the same issue: We made some minor changes to PV*SOL premium 2023 R4 in order to make it more obvious to the user that there are cable combiners necessary in some occasions. Kind regards, Martin Report
April 25, 20233 yr Author comment_13226 Thanks Martin, that would be a useful addition to advise cable combiners are needed if there's more than 2 strings per input. The manufacturer has since confirmed an issue with their software, it should allow 3 strings as it's within the voltage range but there was an glitch and it wasn't allowing it, but an older version was.

June 8, 20233 yr Author comment_13602 Is there a way of telling the program not to suggest more then 2 strings per tracker? I've checked the settings but can't see the option for it. Report
June 9, 20233 yr comment_13609 Hi Rachel, no, there is no option for limiting the number of strings to a given maximum. But I will put it on our list. Thanks for the recommendation. Kinds regards, Martin Report
