    Since the MPPT's are good for 4000w, is it a waste to do 2 strings of 3700w in parallel? Out of controllers and need more solar.

    IntegraRack: Ground Mount with Epoxy Ground Stakes and Ballast Options

    I have 4 Brightmounts mounted on 6x6 posts (no concrete) and have not had an issue. I had to use the extension but I looked at the manual before ordering to make sure my panels would fit first. Mine are only 2' out of the ground so that is a big difference. We just a strong storm with gusts of...

    EG4 Wallmount indoor connection to Solar Assistant?

    I am trying to get this to work but my cable I made to communicate with the LL-S batteries does not work. I can not find the post that EG4jarred posted with the pins used for different EG4 products for both CAN and RS485.

    pv wire and ferrule question

    This is a clamp style breaker. The serrated "clamp" tightens the wire when the screw is tightened. The screw type would just be the screw pushing the wire .

    EG4 LLS rack with EG4-WallMount Indoor

    I think it would be a better option if SS or other vendors offered a trade in from the lifepower or LL to the indoor (or outdoor) since they are not compatible with the indoor units. I have 3 lifepower4 and 2 ll-S so I can not use any of them to supplement my 2 indoor units I just installed.

    pv wire and ferrule question

    The clamp style lifts a clamp up when tightening whereas the screw type, when you tighten the screw, the screw is pushing on the wire.

    First time with a pallet of panels

    i just received and have started to install a pallet of Aptos 370W Bifacial Solar Panels from SS. The VOC is 41.4 and ISC is 11.26. Are the panels in 10s ( in South Carolina) too much for the EG4 6000XP with 480v mppt?

    EG4 6000XP AC out load wiring?

    Is it an option to run 2 6000xp's to the input of a 100a sub panel main feed, instead of running to 2 sperate breakers since the load is already protected by the load breaker already in the unit?
