On 24/02/2024, EcoSoch's Solarcare team carried out its routine panel cleaning of one of our installations at Brigade Altamont. The capacity of the system is 100.8kWp with SolarEdge inverter technology: Description Specifications Capacity 100.8kWp Modules REC 400Wp - 252 modules Solar Inverter SolarEdge SE27.6k x 3 inverters System Type Grid Synchronous, net metered [...]
The Servo Controlled Voltage Stabilizer (5kVA) is a precision-designed voltage regulation solution that ensures stable and reliable power supply for sensitive electronic equipment. With a capacity of 5kVA (5000VA), it is suitable for various applications, including small to medium-sized commercial establishments, offices, and industrial setups. Issues Voltage fluctuations are variations in the voltage levels [...]
Precautions to take before connecting Inverter to Battery When you are connecting any Inverter to the Battery (thru the fuse), you would have noticed sparking as shown below. You can also check out the same in the below video. https://youtu.be/_PgthByAYz4?t=630 This sparking happens because the capacitors in the Inverter try to get charged [...]
Contributed by: Suraj Kumar HS 280V Vs 320V AC SPD Introduction Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) are devices that are used to protect electrical equipment against transient over voltage (TOV). TOVs often come from one of three places: the grid side (like in a load-shedding situation or switching at the local substation), or the load [...]
For solar rooftop installations, it's often unnecessary to install new AC earth pits. Existing AC earth pits, if designed properly to handle fault current, are usually sufficient. In a solar setup, the overall AC current in the circuit doesn't increase. Before solar, if 10A flowed in the AC circuit, the entire 10A came from the [...]
In certain cases, there would be a variation in the tilt angle of solar panels at a single site itself due to unevenness of the roof, solar arrays spread across multiple roofs, curvature of barriers, uneven cement patches and to avoid shadows from adjacent solar tables and walls. In such cases, customers can raise the [...]
We get questions from clients about oversizing of inverters and why we are connecting more panels to an inverter - like connecting 33 kWp of panels to a 27.6 kVA inverter. Isn't this inefficient or a wastage of solar panels? Let's say that we are using 380Wp panels. The panel is rated 380Wp under STC [...]
Technically Yes. All earthing pits should be bonded together so that there is equipotential bonding amongst them thus preventing back-feed from earth. However, some DISCOMs insist that DC earthing pits, AC earthing pits and LA pits should be kept separate. Please have a read of Legrand's Protection against Lightning Effects guide (Page 8) which [...]
With highly sensitive electrical and electronic components in solar installations, the need for protection of these costly equipment against fault and lightning current is very much necessary. Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive electronic equipment and disturb the solar power supply. Any voltage difference between individual electronic units can destroy valuable equipment. In addition, noise [...]
At EcoSoch, we use UPVC conduits on the rooftop for a reason whether it be residential, apartment, commercial, industrial or institutional projects as shown below: However, the current norm of other EPC vendors is to use perforated Pre-GI cable trays to carry the DC cables for large projects as shown [...]
