Eg6500ex--critique my setup!

[shaggy745]

Hi all,

Finally finished my setup after about 4 months of learning, wiring, and counting on the advice from you fine people!

Here's my setup! Would appreciate your input. Modest system: 1600w of pv, 2 eg4 batteries. Pulling about 1.5kw on a good sunny day. Protran2 xfer subpanel tying the EG4 into 5 circuits in my home. Eg4 pulling from grid in bypass when applicable, and at night and when battery capacity is low, I throw the xfer switch circuits back to the grid and shutdown the eg4 to save on overhead.

It's not huge, but it's the capacity I have with the panel real estate available!

TIA

looks pretty nice!

the only thing i noticed was that there is no FMC from the IMO DC disconnect into the inverter.
Do you need this to pass an electrical inspection?

Also, can i ask what busbars you are using?

Yep, good call on the fmc. I need to add a piece there. No outgoing grid tie so I didnt pull a permit for this. These are the busbars I'm using.

Nice job! Small or large system, it's very satisfying to get that free power from the sun!
