I bought panels from Sunelco.com and get their email notifications, and also am on the email notifications from Renvu.com

I'll post some pics of my system when I find them.

Found some pics from 2012 right after I had installed the 12 205 watt panels with Enphase M215s. The array to the right is 12 Kyocera 125 watt panels wired as 48 volts feeding our 24 volt battery through an MX60 charge controller. I installed them in 2004, I think.

WisJim,

is there something I need to do to be able to view your pictures?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, I think my Photobucket is set for public viewing. I can see my pics even if I log out of the site here, so I don't know what the problem might be.

All I see is something that shows a dial with "Please update your account to enable 3rd party hosting"

THanks,

My utility finally installed my net meter this week (took them 19 days to get around to it) and I was able to turn my system on! If you want to see my power production dashboard this is the URL https://monitoringpublic.solaredge.c...cus#/dashboard
