    warm breaker, can I increase size above 60a ?

    Before any de rating , the #4 al conductor is only good for 65 amps. I would not exceed the 60 amp breaker size. Make sure you have good connections and use anti ox on the aluminum wire. I would use copper wore

    I would never install any device beyond its manufacturer's rated limit. To do so is an NEC violation

    OffGrid - Growatt Project

    Check those battery switches, most of them are rated at 48vdc , lithium batteries operate beyond that voltage rating. Blue Sea has stated their switches are not to be used beyond rated voltage.
