Ran the Cat5e cable for the CT's for the Sol-Ark. Was able to get them to clamp on the bus bars after loosening the main breaker.( you can kinda see in the background)
Also ran and attached the DC side in the roof top junction boxes.
Turned everything on and was getting 240v on one leg of the Sol-ark. Shut everything down and tracked down all my wires. See if you can see the issue.
Good job on the Sol-ark for handling my wiring mistake like a champ. I only got shocked on the case once.
Also I 100% hate that wiring job for that transition from SER to THHN. I am going to redo that before getting it inspected.
Once I swapped the wires around to their proper home everything fired up perfectly and the Solar started backfeeding into the panel and powering the loads. I had already previously setup the Sol-Ark to not sell back at all since I don't have my interconnection agreement signed off on.
I did run into some odd hunting issues with the MPPT trying to match the load.
I reached out to Sol-Ark and they informed me that with no backfeeding happening I would need batteries to act as a buffer to prevent the hunting.
Now to search for some batteries.
