Voltage drop and inverter shut off

As long as the meter is set to voltage scales--You are usually pretty safe. Voltage measures draw virtually zero current, so nothing bad will happen (it is possible to damage/ruin some meters if set to 2 volt scale and you measure 48 volts--But that is just money, not dangerous).

How Far Can Solar Panels Be from the Inverter? A Guide to …

To minimize voltage drop, it is recommended to keep the distance within 30 feet (9 meters) between the solar panels and the inverter. However, a distance of 100 feet can still result in an acceptable voltage drop of 3% or less. Thicker cables can help mitigate the issues of resistance and voltage drop.

In the context of solar panels, voltage indicates the potential energy generated by the panels. Higher voltage means a greater potential to drive current through your electrical system. Current (A), on the other hand, measures the flow of electric charge. It represents the amount of electricity flowing through the circuit at any given time.

Voltage between battery and charge controller with load

2. You most likely have very small wire and incurring voltage drop. First drop is between the battery to controller. Your math indicates 11.6 - 10.9 = .7 volts or 6%. Should be less than 1% or .1 volts. Second loss is in the Controller LVD circuit itself which you cannot control other than keeping current low.

PV voltage drops ~60% when connected to charge ...

This is far more of a voltage drop than I would expect from two of these panels in series. The one-way distance from panels to charge controller is only 2 meters. This change in voltage is observed simply by removing one PV wire from the charge controller, marking 30Voc, then plugging the same cable into the charge controller, and marking 13.2V.

Solar Edge major unresolved problem

Symptoms are as follows: voltage before system wake-up is 250v, with minor variation. With system wake-up voltage at the inverter climbs with power production. When voltage reaches around 260v the inverter shuts down and voltage drops back to 250v. I didn''t notice anything amiss until September, 2021 when I got an unexpected power bill.
