Hi all,
I've been lurking around and trying to figure things out for getting a vendor to install something both maintainable and expandable for the future (may need more than one 15k if I get an electric car or electrify more things around the house). Trying to do things by the book in Indiana...
Here's what I came up with.
The main question I have is if that load-shedding panel needs an exterior cutoff switch?
I also don't think I need the 15A fuses (panels can handle 25A as the max series fuse rating).
I should be able to fully isolate the sol-ark inverter from solar, ac input and ac output in case of failure. Helps to isolate strings on the roof as well.
The battery bank would be post-vendor install, probably 30kwh eg4-ll in a cabinet, possibly expand in the future as well.
As for roof layout I've photos here https://photos.app.goo.gl/Ly2vPfnm6zzJe4YT9
The main roof area faces about 200°S. The main thing I wonder is if I need optimizers due to clipping caused by the eastern roof ridge?
I'm heavily considering doing it myself, maybe permits with https://ignergy.com/ or another vendor, not sure, would still need to sub out an electrician for at least the main breaker install.
