(edit: original post below but I had a terrible time with this seller, would *not* recommend!) I was on the hunt for one of these to match with my growatt that outputs 240v, and it looks like over the last few weeks everyone has sold out of them. SignatureSolar has a growatt unit but it has the...

I'm buying components for my new install and I'd like to put a DC battery disconnect between the 48 volt battery bank and the inverter. I'll have a midnight solar My batteries are the gyll models, and my inverter is a growatt spf 5000 es. My two questions: Regarding voltage, I'm eyeballing the...

We're putting an 80 gallon hybrid / heat pump tank in but I'd like to also have a propane instant heater that can kick on if needed. I've heard some instant heaters can and can't handle pre-warmed water. Does anyone have a recommendation on some manufacturers / models that would do a good job of...

Sorry to be another one of the DC breaker questions and I reviewed the documentation that I could find, but a really basic problem is jumping out at me here. Pictures below. So (when in the "on" position) the bottom left (++) is chained all the way to the bottom right (--). In fact when I ran a...

Pretty much the title. I have a 120v Lincoln LE31MP and I use it a lot. I have a lot of batteries and a lot of panels, completely offgrid. I'm looking at a Sol-Ark or the eg4 version as an upgrade, but want to make sure I can run my welder with it. Thanks so much!

Hello all, first time poster long time lurker. I have some experience with small solar systems but this is my first time building something larger and bigger. It's going to run a ranch style property (all offgrid). I'm trying to wrap my head around the legs/phases wiring that I've seen you...

So I'm on the verge of spending a pile of money on a well. I'm prepared for that, financially if not mentally, but the part that's screwing with me is how to keep the water from freezing. I've always been trying to pump to a cistern higher than the home pad and rely at least a bit on gravity...

We're standing up a new array and I'm building a simple box/cabinet out of 1/2" plywood to house some items that will be at the array. Right now I've got: AIMS disconnect. Two identical 6 panel strings going into that, each string going into one input side. Parallel cables, taking the string...

My PV array is putting out ~240v and I need to connect the array's output to some large underground cables. Typically I'd use terminal posts to do that and put lug fittings on the solar output and lugs on the big cables, and connect them with the fasteners at the posts. The problem I have is...

Fully offgrid setup, what I'd like to run: Two different solar arrays going into the two solar inputs. The generator output configured as the smart load which will hook into a water heater element. The line/grid input being a generator. Feel free to correct me on any of that, but the last one...

Hey there! I'm looking for some new all-in-one boxes and I thinking about the LV6548V. My array is 360v and 4080 watts but the LV6548V says its maximum PV wattage is 4kw. Does it matter that I'm 80 watts over? Will it hurt the unit or just only allow 4kw through? I'm fine losing the 80 watts.
