    TreeSystem for Ground Mount, doe anybody knows about it?

    I like better the tree system, feels like more confident and less stressful, when it comes down to installation. Also you have 4 points of anchor instead of 1.

    What's the reason behind using 240V inverters with transformers when they have split phase ones?

    I agree, just putting a comparison based on price and today's inflation, what is the most you can get for your money.

    What's the reason behind using 240V inverters with transformers when they have split phase ones?

    Exactly. Take this example: Sol-Ark 15K = $8,500.00 (+/-) Split Phase 120/240 Deye 16K = $3,500.00 (+/-) Single Phase 240 x 2 = $7,000.00 (+/-) 50KVA Transformer = $2,300.00 (+/-) 1 - Phase 240/480 to 120/240 So...with the price of 1 Sol-Ark 15k + $1,000.00 extra (+/-)...

    PowMr inverter has two grounds?

    Looks like they change the setup, I'll just connect all the A/C output and Ground to this terminal and not the outer. Also check if there is a ground/neutral bond at the inverter, just to be on the safe side.

    PowMr inverter has two grounds?

    BE CAREFULL!!! Consult with an Electrician if you have doubts, "case or chassis" ground is not the same as A/C ground, you can't ignore the A/C ground and rely on the case ground, they both need to be connected, separately of course: A/C ground needs to go to your breaker panel and tied to the...

    Exactly my point, you can configure it and add as many distributors or power in as you want, you will still get 1000 AMPs busbar/distribution system. Regarding the Theory on Wiring Large Systems, "FORGETA 'BOUT IT" ?? your system will never be close to that amount of amps, that is industrial...
