i would extend the wires to the inverter. It is a nice break from being on the hot roof. It is just a sequence issue that does not affect the functionality.
I have done the $100 bills thing so many times! It almost always works.As I said earlier, you know your situation better than we do. Do what you need to do, we each have offered our input, but this is your money, your life your decision. I truely hope the panels are decent and you get good use out of them, and solve your urgent issue concerning generators.
On cash private deals, I have found a nice thick stack of $100 bills is a great incentived for the seller to negotiate.
My favorite is put $2,000 in an envelope (and the rest in your pocket) see it they will accept 2,000 for 74 panels...when people see the cash, especially if they feel you just might drive away, they often strike a deal.
Yeah, as long as the seller doesn't catch on the OP is in a hurry, and feeling kinda stuck.I have done the $100 bills thing so many times! It almost always works
If those are treated 2 x 4's. You need a barrier between them and the panels. The wood treatment will eat the aluminum.
There’s plenty of other long threads from OP that you can use to decide.This thread is either someone trolling, or someone who should never be spending money on solar products, hope it's the former, but suspect it's the latter..
yes i am figuring out the basics, i know what you meanThis thread is either someone trolling, or someone who should never be spending money on solar products, hope it's the former, but suspect it's the latter..

And somehow OP writes posts in a way that really promotes engagement, far beyond the engagement that much more sane / educational questions get. I’d rather not explicitly editorialize but maybe you can infer how I feel about that.
With our suggestions, Joe went from trying to use GT PV inverter fed by Prius for grid-forming, to using an AIO with Prius to PV input and 4x automotive starting batteries for 48V battery, and it could then start and run larger power tools.
He's thinking about and trying out ideas many of us have had.
So long as he doesn't electrocute himself or burn something down, it's all good.
Primary limitation is embedded firmware, which constrains most of us.
