    haha! Agreed. I think it should be named based on max continuous power rather than PV but...

    Are we still talking about inverters!?!
  • Post in thread: Off Grid Install: Paralleling 2X EG4 18k's

    I did but it doesn't have a diagram for the 2x 18k off grid setup--thanks for stating the obvious though. Yeah, i figured if someone couldn't figure out what an EG4 18k Inverter is then i probably wouldn't need there help--thanks again for stating the obvious though.

    The county has a 100A minimum which would then require 3 victrons. I looked at victrons for my RV but i love how everything is integrated in the EG4 and Sol-Arks.

    Yeah, i went back and forth on this one but my logic was the "what if" on thanksgiving when the girls are using double ovens and a stove top (induction), ac on because they are heating the house up, and the batteries are drained. the double ovens are 10kwa alone!

    Hello, Im in Riverside County, CA and in the process of building a 3600sq.ft home. I just received the tentative bill from so-cal Edison and they want $28k to pull wire (assuming I share the pole tap). That's not including all the trenching, pull boxes, and conduit that I would have to...
  • Post in thread: 400A Solar Ready Electrical Panel: Direct tie Inverter?

    Yeah, the 2x spots on the top right are to feed a 200A subpanel. This is a off grid system so im not worried about the meter/ utility. It just seems too easy to be true...

    Stacking 2 of these seemed easier than 4 lower rated ones. Also, heaven forbid we need to connect to edison later on.
  • Post in thread: 400A Solar Ready Electrical Panel: Direct tie Inverter?

    Hello, My electrician installed a Siemens 400A, solar ready, meter combination, electrical panel. Ive never seen a "solar ready" panel before but i noticed that there are presumably 2x 100A breaker slots on the far left, followed by a meter in the center, and breakers on the right side. I was...

    Agreed and once im permitted for the 20 then I will definitely add more PV lines later; however, i dont know about pushing more than 10 panels at 49 VOC as that is already 500VDC. Do i need the 400A fuse for the 48V bus if both inverters are breakered? I agree it is easy to connect to the main...

    Yeah, thats my problem. Off grid diagrams seem to favor 1x inverter setups which isnt helping my 2x questions...
