The post immediately above yours (#468) says you don't have to do that anymore with the latest images.

Starting a new thread because I created confusion by hijacking this thread: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/n-g-bonding.80429 In that thread I posted photos of my meter set-up: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/n-g-bonding.80429/post-1032841 I apologize for creating confusion. A few folks...

Good point. These are from a few years ago. 100A breaker behind the flap. I've been told there's a neutral-ground bond in the non-homeowner section that is above the terminal blocks.

So to be perfectly clear, the N/G bond should be at the meter base at my pole and every other panel in the system should be not bonded; regardless of whether there is 3 or 4 conductors running to that panel.

I'm currently building up my own system and am confused by this. I have a power pole in my yard, with a transformer at the top and a meter base at the bottom. Below the meter is where I, the homeowner, can take power. I had two runs come off this, one to the house, and one to the shop. The...

I had to do some monkeying around with pam and /etc/ssh/sshd_config when I did mine. I don't remember exactly what I did to make it work though. Fortunately, the latest version of Solar Assistant (64bit) has a menu option to enable ssh access: 1) Go to...

You have to root the CCA. That apparently used to be easy to do but a firmware update that Tigo pushed out closed that hole. Now you have to open the CCA and solder to the UART pins and hack the u-boot environment. I'm struggling with 'do I want RSD+Optimizers and thus give my money to a...

To be fair, it may not be Sol-Ark's fault. It looks like they were planning on just integrating this company's product: https://enteligent.com/products/enteligent%E2%84%A2-nmax-optimizers-m500a1 but previous versions of the website had pricing and even had some videos from the CEO explaining...

People are reverse engineering the firmware on the Tigo CCA and have figured out how to get their data off the device without using the 'cloud'. Tigo keeps pushing firmware updates to close the holes. https://github.com/rp-/tigo-exporter/tree/master

Advertised "1 minute data resolution" but they've been having trouble with their servers for apparently going on 3 yrs now and they keep promising they're updating their server infrastructure and keep pushing the date further to the right. So even people who are paying for the cloud service...

I only just started with SA myself the other day. I discovered that SA won't correctly talk to my Shoto SDA10-48100 batteries. I sent mail into their 'Contact us' address but after getting root access, I note that the box is pretty unhappy. The circuits_uart library seems to be leaking and...

In order to pass inspection, I need RSD. It's not clear to me that RSD is possible in a 'Blind Deployment'. Reading the german thread referenced in the github discussion, it would seem that when someone discovers how to access data from the local CCA, then Tigo sends out a firmware update...

That's what I'm reading, yes. It looks like the Tigo optimizer does some processing in their 'cloud' to improve the optimization (except when the cloud is largely unavailable for 6+ months). But the RSD functionality is still there but requires their CCA to be present in order to work. Given...

Does an RSD need a cloud platform? I didn't see anything about an APSmart 'cloud platform' when I was pricing it out.

They claim to be doing some sort of 'international service upgrade' and are saying all server problems should be fixed then but offered no timeline.
