Well, I got the call! Drumroll please ??: Rob, After further discussion with the company's engineering firm, we have concluded that the installation of your solar system is not an interconnect to our electrical system from your mini split unit. This is due to your application not having an...

Wow some impressive ingenuity and racks in this thread! Back to the more store bought side, 1540W per each $279 EG4 rack on 5 gallon buckets of concrete. Added outrigger buckets on front to stabilize teeter-totter mount design. Area is VERY wind sheltered, but getting ready to upgrade buckets...

You can probably appreciate this then lol. GET A BOOM LIFT don't do this on a ladder, you'll be so much more safe and comfortable. I have a view out basement so it's about 21'. Temporary power at this point while I was completing install 😅

See Will's latest video. RIP EG4 8k for now - he gave up. Imagine if a newbie twit like ME tried to make it work ?

This posts wins the Internet, Thank you for the laugh :ROFLMAO:

Also, "Battery Norminal Voltage" EG4. Technology so advanced, we create words.?

:) Built in Arlington, WA USA

Yes, they are...read the manual: IMO switch-disconnector manual

Oh my ! This deserves special attention and remembrance :love: :ROFLMAO:

Another vote for Easy Start. From 97 to 32 amps :)

Dipping toes in Solar....got mine installed (DIY if not obvious..) In my case, had to bring 220V from power pole due to no free space in house sub panel (future upgrade project) Panels are Canadian 385W, note only 7 hooked up at the moment due to Voc concerns. DC breaker at panels, I have...

@RCinFLA was right, it's the "Tacoma Narrows bridge" of electronics.. Post in thread 'Solark inverter - flickering lights' https://diysolarforum.com/threads/solark-inverter-flickering-lights.62252/post-800351

While I have solar mini splits, this is holding me back as well. I'm waiting (? ⚡ ⛈️ ) for a hailstorm to roll thru and see how panels (I have ground mount) really put up with 1" hail as advertised. I know people will say "Insurance", and that's all well and good, but who really enjoys dealing...

Watch out, Mr Cool :eek: : https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-12k-mini-split-air-conditioner-heat-pump-12000-btu-seer2-28-5-plug-n-cool-do-it-yourself-installation/ 9k and 12k BTU units listed for sale with DIY-friendly lineset. 18, 24, 36k models listed in Instl manual. Mr Solar?? ?

Do not pressure wash ice cream cart next to mobile generator.

This. Watch a few YouTube videos to get the idea. I'm also a car guy when not playing with Solar so was pretty easy for me. Scott, I put a 25A 1000v DC breaker (China) on the array. Looks like the same type I see on batteries and inverters, though I think I've seen topics that ratings might be...

Ding Dong, Hello its R+L Carriers. Can confirm Solar units still not only old school lines, but 12k BTU back to 3M lines as well. Anybody with 5M (1/4 and 3/8) want to trade??

I ran Hotspot down to a factory in China. Looks like built to order. Toshiba-GMCC compressor. That's all ok to me. Company appears to be US based.

Hitachi-Highly for 12k. Panasonic for 24k. Member @SmitHVAC conveniently posted a video tour of 12k hybrid guts:

It's just a long running source of humor with Tim....stick around, you'll see :)

Oh, indoor unit pic:

Where from?? Or on a need to know basis..:censored: Very unfortunate on the EG4. We all want it to work.

Signature Solar DEFINITELY saw his video. Surprised this isn't being discussed in the main Megarevo threads (did i miss it perhaps?). Seeing familiar names in YouTube comments ;) Edit: you know, the SS video came out after Will's video, so it seemed it was "in response to it" . However, you can...

I think this. I read HVAC guys said nitrogen pressure will find leaks that vac test will not. I know other guys mentioned they mostly had prior automotive AC experience as do I. I have NEVER heard of anyone doing a nitrogen pressure test on Auto AC, only vac test FWIW...

Yes that's called "scope creep" , when one major project causes other major and minor sub projects, annoying runs to supply houses, waiting for crap from Amazon, etc.. :ROFLMAO: ⚡ ?

I used it in the winter, but I have the 24k. On VERY bad days, this would result in 300W Grid + 300W Solar, which was ok output. As of June 1st I'm also turning AC grid back on (with Limiter, at least as frequently as I remember to TURN IT ON - as I said previously it has to be turned on...

Well this pretty well covers it. Yet, sure as sh!t, contractors in comments saying inspectors forced them to install traps. We all know, you will do what ever Code Enforcement wants to approve it, then decide whether to change it after.

Yup I was mentally planning this in the back of my head. Probably in my future. Had to make sure my "Pirate" Solar Air Conditioner and/or System were reasonably legit first ?‍☠️:ROFLMAO:

Still think the compressors are DC motors, and the variable speed is achieved by varying the frequency of the electronic commutation of DC voltage to the stator coils, which apparently are in fact arranged like 3 phase motors, frequently in multiples of 3 - leading to more assumptions and...

And on other subject can ANYTHING electrical/electronic survive that "beach" climate ⚡??
