Yes it is safe. Current (amperage) is not pushed, it must be drawn. It's the same as the power outlets in your house. It doesn't...

So, 6s2p per input. That would work, I missed that idea, as long as the minimum voltage is met. (shouldn't be a problem.

I have a river pro. (Not max) It will display down to 3 watts.

Having more current available than the SCC can use isn't a problem. Unless you accidentally connect it in reverse polarity (backwards)...

Me too

A second system at the house is the much better option.

Finally making some progress on my porch roof. This is going to be 24 panels, and will be a 2 part. Materials is 2" square tube with...

Usually no. But it depends on which one you choose. Some of the high (battery) voltage units are designed for separate batteries.

Maybe, but too expensive in my opinion. I could make a pair for $5.

The original bracket is just a piece of angle. I would just make it the same way. It bolts to the side of the battery. And then the...

PV ground yes. lol, although when I was hooking up my first grid-tie inverter years ago, I did ground the PV negative to earth ground...

That would work if the holes line up.

Yes, they work fine, and reliably.

This is a 12kw inverter. But if you have the grid, it can cover the rest. Server rack batteries are around 50lbs.

IMO, you’d not notice any significant difference between a panel five years from now left in the sun used and unused.

Well he is the boss, nuff said...

Can’t speak for electricians , I never been one…but for many other trades this nails it… said a little differently ,since I was a...

Not sure what you mean by "calculations". But it's fine to have multiple charging sources, as long as the total current doesn't exceed...

I would just buy some angle iron at the hardware store and make my own.

I was hoping this guy would chime in. :)
