Yes....will work fine.

Where do you live because you are forgetting about snow load requirements. Likely 10-25 pounds per square foot.... 20 foot X 18 foot is 360 sqft and at 10 lbs snow load is 3,600#'s at 25 lbs snow load is 9,000 lbs. I don't think what you got will hold 9,000 lbs but it might hold 3,000...

I have a Geocool water to water that I use in the summer to take heat our of our "heated floors" and put in our hot water tank....Many use mini splits....

You can hook your panels to a Solar Charge Controller (SCC) and use it to charge the battery and see the IQ8's and keep all your other stuff.

I think you can keep what you got....2s2p will give you 20 amps and 64 volts....I see no problems.

I put a lg recently in a garage and if it isn't above 60 degree F in the garage it will not work......be where....not a good choice for a garage.

No need to post in multiple sections of this forum...

Need to know the battery voltage you are running.

Thinking it might be best to run only on battery for the next few days and disconnect from grid.... :eek: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/

Just do an output test (4 cells is easy to do). Cells degrade on a predictable curve....Does anything else really matter?

Salt is still in the air.....might add filters....like car air filters on the inlet and outlet.

All still the same...working fine...just adding more solar elsewhere on the property. I pick up a pallet of 27 panels from the Pink Energy auction and going to install a solar fence soon.

Enphase micros self shutdown when voltage gets to high....not sure this is 100% correct...Micro shuts down at 264vac at the inverter....My power company supplies 255vac all day long now a days....so 127 on one side. 132 isn't that far off.

Put the Micros on the house side/Load side output. Solark can "AC couple" and control the micros. Not sure is there are settings in the Solark to AC couple though.....Just search "AC couple Solark" I highly doubt it will work in the generator input.

Alternator whine?.....you need some cheese....

Doesn't appear to be UL listed or CE listed so can't be used in Residential/Commercial in the US anyway..... Looks like if one trips they all trip much like a 240VAC breakers so it might be functionally ok.

I plan on trying a small solar fence for winter solar help and using fencing T-post's I did the calculation for both strength, snow/wind load, and angle. I think 60 degrees is what's optimal. Used PVwatts.nrel.gov for solar angle then calculated loads. I am targeting for lower Michigan.

The cable has like 2 feet of cable then a connector and then another 4 feet of cable to another connector and then cable, then connector and on and on depending on how you order it. The ends are just cable, one end can be capped off and the other terminated in your J-box. It is a continues...

I had bought 120 cylindrical cells 55ah and I load tested them with a IQ7x and did it successfully like 7 times. Once I connected the IQ7x to the batteries connected to my hybrid inverter I got the grounding faults. I will try again and see if I can change the profiles in the IQ7x now that I...

Not sure that is a good idea. The MPPT and/or PWM function likely won't work and panel output won't be maximized...likely reducing total output by at least 50%

If the panel isn't big enough it may not trigger the micro inverter start converting to AC. Much like when there isn't enough sun on a panel. Need to size the micro inverter to the panel size per the specs, but yes you can add more micro inverter/ panel sets later.

Funny, I did the exact same....my leaky cell is still fine but is now vertical....My 2 expanded ones are fine also.

Those that laugh will die and those that are prepared will make it....

It all depends on how hard you are going to run them and if you have a safe plan to never over charge them....IMHO

And then you got atmospheric pressure...that seems like the most even force of them all.... Put them in a hyperbaric chamber...

Equal is a relative term.....may the force be with you...

You could also stack them vertical...the lowest one would get most force but I bet the first one in your setup gets the most force anyway.

They do make reverse ones... https://www.mcmaster.com/gas-struts/pulling-gas-springs-4/

Even if there were such a product it would likely have low quality, hard to warrantee, expensive, and not have all the bells and whistles of a normal one.. It is best to feed your house with solar and just use a standard mini split that is mass produced for the reasons above.

I have used the QS1's and they don't require anything....I know things have been upgraded and maybe changed.... Thanks for the info I am guessing you are talking about the new stuff.

I have done multiple enphase models without a problem... I currently have 24 IQ7PLUS-72-2-US for the last 4 years without bridge. I think the others I have tried are the IQ7X and IQ7Plus I looked up blinking red light and it says the inverter doesn't like the grid...where are you located, I am...

Enphase and APsystems I have used without monitoring.... Just hook 240 AC up to them....I have even a time or two put a cord end on them and just pluged them into a wall outlet for temp trials.

Grid tie inverters get connected as you stated to a circuit breaker and they push the power backward into the grid by increasing the voltage causing the current to flow into the grid. Most people now have a smart meter and your power company will likely know the minute you start back feeding...
