When we put the sub panel in, I took a few hours and wrote down everything that was on every circuit in the house so I could plan what circuits would be in the essentials panel, and nothing repeated on another circuit so u guess I’m good. Township would prolly hassle me for permits if I tried to...

Is there any scenario of “creative wiring” somewhere in my house someone may have done over the years that could possibly cause a problem? I don’t know, but backfeeding something maybe? I can’t think of anything, but just wanna make sure. If so, a setup like this can reduce your electric bill...

Is this okay? I know power is not being fed back into the grid, as the switches prevent the hot wires from feeding back to the main panel, but the all the neutrals are tied together and tied to the main panel. Is this okay using an off grid inverter like the EG4 6000xp to feed these circuits...

Will it work? I’m looking at upgrading my 24 volt growatt system to the EG4 6000xp. I understand I can series the two 24v batteries to make one 48v battery, but the communication won’t work. So I’ll need to select lead acid battery and enter the parameters in manually, which is fine, but it...

I need some help with my Daly Smart BMS 8s 150a. I got Signature Solar's 8 cell pre welded battery pack, very good deal IMO. Wired up the BMS, may have moved a little too fast attaching the leads, and accidentally connected the negative balance lead to the last cell instead of the first cell...

I'm in the process of completing a solar/generator backup system to run essential loads for my house. So far I have a 7000 watt inverter generator, a 10 circuit manual generator transfer switch/subpanel with a 240 volt split phase 4 lug plug mounted outside to plug the generator into. This...
