M Off grid critical loads I'd like to say I researched them for hours or talked to someone but they were just the cheapest price per watt panels i could find 🤣

I'll be doing 10s on each mppt. Should bring me to 400v on each string. I'm fine if it clips on sunny days since most of my year is snow and rain

I'm curious about this if someone will elaborate

Spot on, thank you! Yep, all gas appliances. My usage is so high because of the pool, ac, and dehumidifiers (yay northeast basement and high water table). Thank you for the ideas! I do believe I can do 10s and still be under max voc, but I will verify when it starts to get colder to make sure...

Ground mounts are definitely an option

I've already purchased everything and am self installing. I entered my daily kwh usage (I have an energy monitor) and I pay a fixed 15 cents per kwh. Not a grid tie system, that rate won't change. We don't have peak or off peak rates here. Just regular expensive natural gas power at fixed rates...

Yep. Just make sure the voltages are very close before connecting in parallel.

Someone pointed me to opensolar and holy cow I wish I knew about this before. Wicked cool! I think this is how I'm going to go:

Getting ready to install 8kw of panels, 20 in total. 16 will fit on my only south (ish) facing roof which is at roughly a 15 degree angle. I'm northern, on the south shore of lake erie. The garage roof (pictured below) gets nearly 100% sun from about 10am to 8pm in the summer, and from about...

The pv disconnect, built in breakers on everything, eg4 warranty/ support, generator boost functions, and positive youtube reviews sold me.

Found one in stock on SanTan. Doesn't say pre order. I guess I'll have 2 now, eventually.

Man. When I ordered it said mid July. I wish they would at least ship the 22 panels and mounts I ordered so I can use a different inverter in the meantime. I just got my indoor eg4 wall battery from current connected today, so I've got 1/3 of my system lmfao. No panels, no mounts, no...

After spending a few hours reading through posts here on the forums I can't find my exact question so here we go I see plenty of threads talking about generator boost where if the battery is dead and PV cannot cover the total load it will supplement the load with generator input, can it also do...
