Mine came online Dec 15, 2023. I was trying to make the end of year for taxes, but also had to finish before holiday travel.

If there is no PV or battery power, the Sol-Ark will power off and just pass the grid through to save you the power it draws for itself when it's running. So I have the same thing, no data until the sun comes up each day. I am looking forward to adding batteries so I have data from overnight.

I was prepared. My tilt is only 10 deg on a ground mount with a little shading when the winter sun is very low over the tree line. I am anxious to see what my max might be, but I've hit nearly 12 kW on my 16 kW array when I get a clear day in Jan, I think it will work very well in the summer.

My RSD switch is wired to the pins on the Sol-Ark 15K. The Tigo is powered from a breaker in my main panel. When the RSD switch is activated, it shuts down the Sol-Ark and thus my main panel. I tested it before my inspection. I also have a 200A disconnect after my meter, so if I have...

Well, I know I will get a good ribbing for it, but my entire setup will be using FMC and not a large wireway. Partly because of this code requirement and partly due to height limitations actually. I am building right now, so I hope it all works. I think in the 2020 or 2023 code they changed...

I just replaced my main breaker panel and put in 3 of the Emporia Vue Gen 2 units. I will be configuring them today, so I haven't used them yet. https://www.emporiaenergy.com/how-the-vue-energy-monitor-works

So 8 AWG works on the PV inputs? I have to run 8 AWG because my panels are far away from the house, so I was going to use something (set of IMO Disconnects?) to transition from 8 AWG down to 10 AWG near the 15K. If I can run 8 AWG straight in, it could save me some cost.

vi all day. :-)

Background: This is my first post to this forum. I have been designing a dual Sol-Ark 15K system for my new property since last fall and I am working through the last few details that are bugging me. I am located in Ohio under NEC 2017 and plan to be grid-tied with net metering to start...

@ChillnGrill I am building my Sunmodo ground mount right now and I blew apart a top cap with the 20ft lbs of torque on the set screws. I got scared and did all of the rest of them to 10 ft lbs so I don't break any others. Did you run into anything like this? Trying to decide if I should inch...

This was practice with the tools I have been collecting for my solar install (still in the design phase). Also wanted to make sure sure I passed inspection for the new breaker panel install (did it myself).
