    Solark 15k DIY Grid Tie Design with 200A disconnect and Manual Bypass - all grounds and neutrals to main

    I ordered a pallet of 31 panels from ecodirect. fast shipping, no hassle. $12.2k including shipping to PA. Not the cheapest panels, but they had the best warranty that I could find - 25 years for workmanship and 30 years for performance.

    Solark 15k DIY Grid Tie Design with 200A disconnect and Manual Bypass - all grounds and neutrals to main

    Yeah, I hear you about PowerPoint, especially with the “improvements” added to each new version. My work requires using it, so I’m through the learning curve. I’ve read really good reports on SOK. Seems like a great option. Price pushed me to EG4, but SOK was on my short list. Good luck with...

    Solark 15k DIY Grid Tie Design with 200A disconnect and Manual Bypass - all grounds and neutrals to main

    Thanks for the tip on the regular EG4 batteries. That's what I have. I haven't researched shunts, yet. So, I'll need to puzzle that out. I figured the solark would talk to the batteries through the ethernet port. Maybe they will at some point if solark gets around to adding the regular EG4...

    Solark 15k DIY Grid Tie Design with 200A disconnect and Manual Bypass - all grounds and neutrals to main

    Microsoft powerpoint. It's like visio and maybe google drawing. I've used powerpoint a lot for work, so it was easier for me to use. I couldn't upload the .ppt file. But, I put it in a zip file, if anyone wants it.

    Thanks, man. I'm running 12/3 armored cable from my generator hook up to the solark. I'll ground the generator to the main ground bus in the wireway. (I added that detail in a new drawing.) Yes, just like that. That's what I'm planning to do. single 4/0 in, two 2/0 out to the connections.

    Solark 15k DIY Grid Tie Design with 200A disconnect and Manual Bypass - all grounds and neutrals to main

    Really nice layout. I only have one bank of six batteries and plan to use a polaris connector to create a jumper to the two solark connections. I saw a picture where one of the forum members ran 4/0 to one connector, then had a little 2/0 loop jumper to the other connector. I may do that it...

    Solark 15k DIY Grid Tie Design with 200A disconnect and Manual Bypass - all grounds and neutrals to main

    I used powerpoint, then saved the slide as a jpg. Good point about the flex conduit - I'll probably use the flex conduit between the wireway and the solark and transfer switch. Rigid PVC elsewhere. Yes, it will be permitted and inspected. Met with the Township guys last week and they...
