How to check if both strings are working
Posted: Sat May 20, 2023 12:40 am
I have had 13 panels recently installed which are on two strings. The first install were 11 panel on the front south facing roof. The installers had to put 8 panels on one string and 3 on another, but because the foxess inverter doesn't recognize less than 4 panels it wasn't picking them up. A day later the installers finished the job and added 2 more panels onto the west facing roof and connected those to the 3 panels on the south roof. Those combined 5 panels on the 2nd string are on tigo optimisers.
I'm sure on the first day when only the south panels were installed I was getting up to 1kw solar up until half hour before the sun went down. Now even with the west panels my system doesn't generate power after 7:30 pm.
Is there a way to check if both strings are working. The evening sun should hit my 2 west panels which are 410w and generate some additional energy.
