No wire splices are allowed in the conduit. The splice must be accessible . It must be located in a box. I would use a insulated multi tap connector instead of a butt splice

I wouldn't pay for a hybrid if no grid is available.

Data center?

Mine works fine in USB mode.

I really want to check out the Heliowing solar carport. They claim once the foundation is done it only takes 6 hrs to assemble

I'm not an hvac pro , but I have installed quite a few of these in Baja California, Mexico. There are thousands of these things here installed below 8ft. Most of the ceilings are 8-9ft. 6" over the top clearance , the head itself is 10- 12" , and you are around 6' 6" to 7 ft 6" to the bottom...

1- 2 ton and 1- 1 ton B- Air brand platinum series 240 vac inverter series 20 seer mini splits. Heat and AC . 1000 sq ft block / stucco home located in Baja California Mexico. Today's temps 101f 46% humidity . It has finally started to cool off.... These units were installed by me a year...

Correct . Wasn't including any derating factors just a " I wouldn't " .

Before any de rating , the #4 al conductor is only good for 65 amps. I would not exceed the 60 amp breaker size. Make sure you have good connections and use anti ox on the aluminum wire. I would use copper wore

I would never install any device beyond its manufacturer's rated limit. To do so is an NEC violation

Check those battery switches, most of them are rated at 48vdc , lithium batteries operate beyond that voltage rating. Blue Sea has stated their switches are not to be used beyond rated voltage.

I bet there's gas cans in that room somewhere too......

Check the model. There was a recall on some " plug on neutral" 100 amp panels.

Does the classic require the clipper ?

I thought pwm was bad for lifepo4?

I have a client that has a vawt installed at their home. The charge controller looks sketchy to me. FW30-48 appears to be the model . It doesn't look like something I want to hook to $10k in lifepo4 batteries. Does anyone have a reputable brand they suggest? I have been told Midnight has...

Is the ac input utility or a generator?

Anyone have a recommendation for a 3000w 24vdc AIO with wifi monitoring? Would like something that can accept 200v and over 2000kw on the array side. Thanks.

So you have shipping in the U.S to your desired location. Vendor charges you this. Most companies are reluctant to ship to Mexico. They will ship it to a U.S. location and then you can hire an international shipper to transport it to Mexico.... you pay again ....in addition to that you then...

I won't be buying any. Check Firefly's warranty...if it gets over 80 f they start cutting the warranty. The lifepower4 batts IMHO , are better

Nevada , AZ. In 2017 the Nec was amended to attempt to take some of the speculation about what is considered a structure. A light pole has been given an exemption if the pole is a manufactured part of the lighting system . Billboards , electric signs, airfield towers etc... anything with an...

Here they are considered "structures " so everyone of them gets a rod.

I agree it's the interpretation of " structure ". The nec definition of " structure " is " that which is built other than equipment " . Every inspector I've ever had considers the electrical sign on the pole the equipment and the pole and base the structure.

Based upon the 2017 definition I believe the solar panels are the equipment and the ground mount is the structure. How is this any different than a freestanding electric sign? The NEC considers that a structure

I believe it is considered a structure. Light poles are. They will each have a grounding electrode of some design and a ground conductor from the electrical system. This does not cause ground loops because once the electrode is bonded to the pole and the conductor is wired to the fixture...

I actually use that app as well. Once I got Watchpower installed I was disappointed I wasted so much time getting it to work.

Are you using watchpower app? After you connect to the wifi module it should prompt you to confirm the connection, then ask for your wifi router and password. Then it should reboot and connect.

Has your device detected the wifi from the inverter? If so use the qr code generated to connect to the wifi module. There has been some talk that the wifi module pin # given is incorrect. Keep your router and the wifi modules "auto reconnect " on.

I finally got mine to work . My issue was that the data logger /wifi set up doesn't appear to support 5g.

If it's me , I go ac devices . I think by the time you add up the additional cost of the dc devices, and the time and materials to run dc circuits to the devices, you could have just bought more solar gear.

I just looked at my original post....I forgot to mention some details...haven't had my gallon of coffee yet. Thanks

No offense taken. My question was more about the flex max 60 controller and whether or not it would have issues being tied in this way. I'm unfamiliar with this product not the proper method of wiring.

Should separate charge controllers and inverters have separate conductors to the battery?

If you have a "beginning" electronics class maybe build a solar panel. It will not be as efficient as a real one but it's an easy project for a class. All the materials are available on ebay . I used grade b individual solar cells , some "buss" and "tab" ribbon, and an old sliding glass...

Not so much.... house flooded at a few locations as my wife and i spent 20 hrs straight defending our home from the water. Something like 30 power poles fell around town ,most of town was without power for days. Happy to say all my solar panels are still on my roof and my solar gear remained...
