    This might be why one can get such a great "deal" on this unit. I figured there'd be something about it, either that or it's a sale for...

    Thank you for the thumbs up Tim. Like a wrote before, I don't understand how this will protect the panel and inverter at this location...

    First position is slightly better, lower resistance and inductance. Minimum pigtail length, and definitely not coiled, is better. But...

    I'm sure that some offer more protection than others. More is always better, but enough is always enough.

    The midnight solar 300ac is recommended to use a 30amp 2 pole. It is supposedly already fused, so it doesn't actually need a breaker...

    I've looked into those. I called and got 2 recommendations from Siemens that would fit my panel but after looking further into which of...

    I know that most people like the midnight SPD's. As an electrician, I'm not a fan. Because they can be troublesome for the install...

    I would too but mine's in the drywall, so I'd need to do something like a hole with the metal box midnight solar makes for this purpose...

    Looks like a good use of the space, to me. It can be hard to find a place to install the midnight SPD's, because of their physical size.

    Sounds like he's aware and experienced the issue before

    I actually did do what you wrote. So, I'm curious which is the best way to install this 300ac spd. I was looking forward to returning...
