The YC500 - dual microinveter
The YC500 is a dual micro-inverter with two MPPT units for higher yield of solar energy. See the comparison of the real yield using two different configurations.
One configuration is with 2x 260Wp panels, the other is with 2x 300Wp panels.

Micro-inverters: More Energy From Shaded Panels
Some roofs may have a partial shading - prom chimneys, from parts of tries. With central inverter such partial shading will completely degrade the performance of the whole solar installation. With microinverters the shading is limited o
(Dis)assembling the AC connector for YC500
It is quite easy to assemble (or disassemble) the water proof AC connector for the .
For GridFree installations you may simply replace the connectors with the .
Micro Inverter installation diagram - 3-phase (using YC500)
A suggestion of the installation diagram for the three phase micro-inverter installation.
Micro Inverter installation diagram - single phase (using YC500)
A suggestion of the installation diagram for the micro-inverter installation.
Note: for small site installations the power rating in Europe is limited to 16Amp (some 3500 Watts) - this corresponds to 7 microinverters per one
YC-500 MicroInverter Status LED function
The table gives details about the possible Error Status reported by the microinverter.
Note: since microinverter issues are often“site-specific” (the problem cannot be simulated easily at a different location or installation)
A nice photo from a GridFree installation —- BUT WITH A PROBLEM!
A customer sent a photo from his first solar GridFree installation. This idea is easy: simply putting the solar panels on the flat roof of the house.
However looking at details of this installation, the installation will not work effectively. See the explanation:
FAQ: Monitoring the solar panels with microinverters
Question: I have a small installation with just a few solar panels and microinverters. Is there some easy way to monitor this installation without the need to use some external monitoring system (like SEDAS or other)?
Answer: There
The pain of the cloud solutions. Saying NO to the clouds!
Customer A: I have used the Ubiquiti mFi solution in the past. But the mFi cloud has crashed and has been down for many months now, without any support from UBNT. Can you support me as a supplier of the hardware?
Customer B: I have used the Involar S
GridFree - solution - free energy to power your consumption
In last 2 years we have distributed more than 4000 pieces of solar microinverters to help people to generate their own Grid-Free energy to power the consumption without payment to the energy monopoly.
