Hi, I'd like to build a semi-portable battery backup system using the GYLL that was recently reviewed by Wil mounted to a dolly with a Growatt All-In-One 24/48V 3KW or equiv. I'd like the flexibility to be able to load this into my van and transport it from time to time, but the vast majority...

Thank you for the pic! This is very similar to what I was planning the only difference being the vertical run will be in conduit.

Has anyone here used a Combiner Box on an external wall near the ground that had the PV strings dangling below it and running up to the roof ? thanks.

Hi All, This is my first solar system. There's about 2.4Kw of panels on top a shipping container (photo #1) . I want a Combiner Box externally mounted for quick shutdown of panels prior to the DC outputs entering into the container (photo #2). The problem is the combiner box I purchased...

Thanks again for your insight- I'll go with 100VDC strings which will make the routing MUCH cleaner. I'll route all PV paired inputs along One Top EDGE visible from the ground to the Isolators and NOT across the roof where they'd be blind. I'll post when I get that done which will be hopefully...

Thank you. Yes, I planned to keep them separate and use 2 separate controllers. I was concerned primarily with the DC high side between panels and the first set of isolator switches. It seems most people r Thank you for the feedback. Would you place a 150VDC string in an outer jacket /...

Hi All, I'm building a PV array onto the metal roof of a 40x8 Ft Conex shipping container: 4 panels placed widthwise (445W, 49Voc, Isc=12A) 8panels placed lengthwise (200W, 20Voc, Isc=12A). The funky positioning is to navigate around the skylights and solar vents and maximize the available...
