While prices are relatively low I was thinking of buying 6 Ruixu batteries and the rack. I am not ready to use them quite yet and I was wondering if it would hurt them to just sit in the rack in the garage for awhile? It's sort of a gamble as I don't know if the price will go up or down, but...

Blowing up the microscopic print on the PDF file for these panels show a notation of Installation Holes on the 950mm dimension. I guess those are the ones I want to use.

It is an Growatt Inverter MIN 8200-11400TL-XH-US

Anyone else get their EG4 PowerPro Conduit Box and not get the bottom plate with it? It looks like I got everything else, just not the bottom plate. It's always somthin. G

I have and may still do that if I need more. I just have enough on my plate right now and taking on another "job" is something that doesn't sound like a good time right now. I like the idea and a local friend of mine has done that, but I'm just a little busy at the moment.

No doubt. I just wasn't expecting it because they have an office in LA. I guess when you place the order it goes outside the US and they give it to their office in the US or wherever.

You don't dig holes by hand in this part of the Earth. I had to hire Kevin to come with his auger and make an opening. Even that is really tough as the auger is bouncing off rocks all the way down. It makes for quite a bit bigger hole than the 12" auger, but it can go 4'.

Coming out of the main panel to the Grid input of the 18KPV and then back to the main panel from the Load output in the 18kpv to the main panel.

I bought 10' of 4/0 welding cable for the battery to inverter run, a while back. I'd like to save the second set of DC inputs for future additional batteries if possible. Boy batteries are expensive.

Thanks for the help guys.

Probably because I don't understand how it should be done, which is why I am here.

New years Day. We planted Pole 4. Putting in poles 2&3 will be a little easier. We will stretch a string across the tops of poles 1&4 to get an accurate measurement of poles 2&3. We used a "string level" to get pole 4 the correct length. Pole 3 will be next as pole 2's hole needs some work...

Should I post the picture(s) here or another place?

I would run it from the neutral bus in the 18kpv to the neutral bus in the load panel. Each wire would get it's own hole to plug into. If that makes a difference?

Planted the last leg on the north side today. It's the one with the 2x4s. It took 41 bags of 80lb cement to do the 4. The closest pole took 9 bags. Pole 2 took 10 bags. Pole 3 & 4 took 11 bags each. A total of one pallet from Home Depot wiith one bag left over. Me dangling pole 3 into it's hole.

Thanks I also worry that the blips will cause damage to the inverter.

I'll investigate. Thanks

PS If it helps.... Since I have not built the array yet I can always reduce the number of columns to 7 etc

Good for you
