The Fronius Symo 20.0-3-M insulation RISO fault on the Solar PV system was quickly identified as rat damage to DC cables on the array.
104 Renesola JC245M-24-Bb panels were removed where each string was carefully checked and repaired as required before mechanical protection was installed to protect from further attacks.
All debris from the roof was removed from under the arrays before the system was reinstated.
Once complete all string cables were again tested in both dry and wet conditions.

Tipton – Wolverhampton – Mastervolt XS fault code HW FAIL 3
Mastervolt XS was reported with a fault code HW FAIL 3.
Attended site and carried out preliminary inspection.

This probably contributed to its early failure due to the build up of excessive heat in a poorly ventilated enclosure.
The inverter was found to be beyond economical repair.

Read MoreOver January we have looked back on some of the solar PV system and inverter maintenance work we have been doing, so the following blogs are a few of the inverter maintenance and maintenance or installation cases we have dealt with since the Summer which we thought you may find interesting........
One of our clients recently reported a potential solar inverter fault which meant that the mains supply to their solar inverter would intermittently trip. This had reached the stage where the main RCD would not reset unless the Solar PV inverter was switched off. The client also reported that their solar PV system was underperforming when compared to their neighbour’s equivalent system on a similar pitch and elevation.
We recently had a call from a client in Ratby, Leicestershire, reporting that one string of a dual string inverter would trip the Trannergy PVI4000TL solar Inverter when isolated. C Gascoigne visited the site and the system was checked and no solar PV fault was found. However, as part of the system check we did discover a faulty main RCD which was was located on the house consumer unit which would not trip under any circumstances. This could have left the customer and his property in danger if left unattended. The RCD unit was replaced from stock on the day and the site left safe once again. This is an excellent example of why testing should be carried out at regular intervals on all Solar PV systems. If you would like to book...
