      You cannot use the overkill app to reset the BMS parameters to factory, that's when the timer gets set to zero.

      No issues today.... The battery is at ~57V and all the cells are at 3.57v or so. The MPPT stop charging at 57 and everything looks happy.

      There's also DC combiners. If you have more than one series string of panels into one MPPT you'll need something to combine things together.

      Excuse my ignorance, but I thought combiner boxes were used with Microinverters w/ AC?

      Understood. The working range is much lower, 440v. At that voltage, it's ~11 panels per series string. If I series parallel array1...

      I did. I will admit I didn't understand as much about solar panels when I originally did the calculations months ago, so I just did it...

      You are 100% correct. THHN isnt rated for wet locations. I'll need THWN like you said. I will look into XHHW. From what i read in a...

      Absolutely. That was quick back of a napkin math. I will confirm the calculations with my electrician before we install!
