The easiest HOA approved location for me to install 2 series panels run to outside DC disconnect and 20amp DC breaker then drill a hole in the wall to pass PV wires into my Eco Flo Delta Pro was on a south facing roof above the master bedroom. Yes, I did this when she was out of town six months...

12volt The informative bloke above recommends these as one option (along with others)

Thank you. Makes sense in my mind to avoid arcing type phenomena with just one ground or tying one or all grounds into the house ground.

Then if you choose the above; the BTF remote switch + double side velcro

Looks to be quite a clever system.

Would two 10awg Dc PV cables fit/run better in 1 inch conduit or is 3/4 inch conduit fine? I will guess inch would be easier for fishing the line through.

If you find it, maybe ten layers of black nail polish.

I suppose another potential (all else fails) solution would be to wire in a small condensation pump, place it on the back side of the indoor unit, and run it’s drain line through the hole to outside.

Haha! A fisherman always recognizes another fisherman from afar.

EG4 did provide these PV cable MC4 terminals. Thus, I suppose I could purchase the 10 AWG brand PV cable compatible with the roof panels, then run the cable in conduit (either pvc or metal) ; DC disconnect shut down switch at the roof ; DC disconnect breaker just prior to going to outside unit...

Yes, I was thinking of spraying or painting everything with that rubberized undercoating….or is there something better?

Improved the decline by 15 degrees. Will see; but there’s something I’m missing (quadruple checked everything I could think of yesterday), or I’m just going to need a condensate pump. The way it looks now, gravity should just take its course (and I’ve helped it along with vacuum negative...

Here’s the picture of the line set from the outside.

Removed the indoor unit and plug is in secure. Condensation drainage line secured properly (quadruple checked). No line kinks. Moved bracket one inch left to create more space to ensure no kinking. Still dripping. I’ll buy a mini split condensate pump. The lines do run at a downward angle out...

I’ll post pics first then explain more later. I’d rather not talk about solo lifting the 305W Solar panel to on top of the pergola.

I may have cleared out a Super Walmart of rubber cement, Tightbond II and 2 inch, 3 inch, and 4 inch wood screws, and washers. Every surface of every piece and now top of pergola sealed in multiple layers of Tightbond II.

With net metering now a significantly less attractive option in Texas, I thought this would be an easy way to power most of one room (the plug in electrical devices) without tying in and/or being busted by a smart meter….and also take the Ecoflow on my adventures. I have two Ecoflows; and the...

Yes, I know I could have just purchased some 41 inch angled ground mounts or used uni strut, but my neighbor had his fence rebuilt last month and had piles and piles of wood of different dimensions all of a similar color as my pergola.

Hello, this is my first post as I will be initiating my first home solar project (HOA now allows for panels on the roof as long as they aren’t visible from the street). I’ve been enjoying an Eco Flo Delta Pro and a panel for remote camping. I did use the search function and did not see this...

Thank you all for the help. Will keep y’all updated. It does not also drain out the line. It does drip over the louvres It is/was extremely humid in the garage. Now that the garage has stabilized in temp; it’s hardly dripping anymore. Will monitor ClearVue mini condensate pump arrives...

As I’m not using any micro inverters, I will guess that I can just plug two 10 AWG PV cables into that transition box and run the 6 gauge copper ground wire through it.

^^^^ Agree, wish they would have that Ecoflow PowerStream available in the USA (I do see you can order one off ebay and Ali world)

Actually, now that I think about it, I did so something different; but I can’t see how that would affect anything. Out of the box, I wrapped around the high and low line set insulation with electrical tape for extra protection. I did the same for the condensation drain line. Then when brought...

Now at a complete loss. I have now vacuumed the drainage line ten plus times….and then installed a clear vue mini condensation pump. Still minimal dripping (especially when rapid changes in humidity level—such as opening the garage door first thing in the morning) and I’ve never seen any water...

Purchased almost everything I need. Will be doing the project over the next couple weekends. Good follow up video to the one I posted above.

Thank you, grid tie does have several advantages.
