Thanks! Can you also let me know the stud size for those lugs?Will lyk tomorrow when I do a temp install!

will doThanks! Can you also let me know the stud size for those lugs?
Looks like they got some good connectors on there this time. Service rated stuff.Electric cabinet. Will do a temp install tomorrow maybe ? (Offgrid and power house through interlock). Trying to arrange the perminate install but it requires moving the mains so I'm waiting on power company and electrian to get a temp disconnect for that

for 8 grand it better beLooks like they got some good connectors on there this time. Service rated stuff.
lol@hipringles you are behind on our twice daily briefings
Are you grid-tied with it?It's on
battery bolts are 1/2 inchThanks! Can you also let me know the stud size for those lugs?
Not yet, I want the full 200a passthrough, and my stupid ass meter here is locked by <insert powe company here>, so I can't de-energize the mains.... To safely move the mains over I need an AC disconnect which I am trying to just work with an electrian to get done sometime soonAre you grid-tied with it?
Man, that sucks... I hate the meters with locks on them.Not yet, I want the full 200a passthrough, and my stupid ass meter here is locked by <insert powe company here>, so I can't de-energize the mains....

I should clarify, mine are wire-locked with tamper seals on them.Man, that sucks... I hate the meters with locks on them.
Around here, most are just wire clipped, we cut em, get the work done and call in the inspection.
I got a text message 30 seconds after I pulled my can. I had it pulled for about 10 minutes. 2 hours later the power company showed up and was like.... "Heyyy guyyyy, what's goin ooooon?"I should clarify, mine are wire-locked with tamper seals on them.
Yes I could do this, but our power company "requires" that we schedule a shutoff w/ them
Some initial thoughts:
1.) its hard to install laying flat lol. the battery bolts have washer + lock washer, and getting those off a vertical terminal requires a bit of finagling.
2.) You connect the batteries to a breaker protected connection, which is nice. However, there is no built in bypass resistor, so flicking the breaker makes a spark. Kinda annoying, as you are stuck choosing to connect with the breaker on and using the resistor, or bypassing the breaker, but there isn't really room to do that.
3.) It won't energize the AC output unless there is a N/G bond in the system somewhere. The inverter itself (obv) is not bonded, so its expecting in the mains. Normally I energize the AC outs, probe the outputs to ensure good split phase, then attach to interlock, but that doesn't work. Has to be connected to interlock (thus connecting to your n/g bond in your main panel), then you can turn on AC output
4.) PV Connectors are pretty nice but don't fit 10ga ferrules (easily), so I had to just put the stranded wire in directly. But they clip in like a wago connector and didnt budge on a pretty good tug.
5.) screen is touchscreen, works well enough
6.) Plenty of room in electrical cabinet to do whatever
7.) using the bus-bars for N/G that expect terminals is kinda dumb imo.
Right I'm not in the mood to deal with that lolI got a text message 30 seconds after I pulled my can. I had it pulled for about 10 minutes. 2 hours later the power company showed up and was like.... "Heyyy guyyyy, what's goin ooooon?"

Check these for voltage. If they have voltage when closed, you can use the pencil method when it's open pretty easy.

Does it have a FAN cooling making noise all the time? (Like Voltronic stuff)
Awesome. I think I might mount this inside. I'm "flying" two LV6548's now and their jet engines live in my garage at the other end of the house. Thanks for the photos.The fan still isn't on when pulling 7500w (hot water heater) so far
They were on post shower.Awesome. I think I might mount this inside. I'm "flying" two LV6548's now and their jet engines live in my garage at the other end of the house. Thanks for the photos.
Can you clarify what your trying to do in more detail.They were on post shower.
Pretty damn quite vs my growatts though
Unrelated:
Does anyone know if sol-ark* has a "no A/c" or power saving mode/ MPPT only mode? I don't see one in the menu's/manual, and I'd rather it behave like the growatts where if the inverter is not on, the mppt won't kick on until there is charging current present.
I don't recommend anybody do it but all the electricians I have had come by just cut the seal and take the meter out. I am a little surprised but they just tell me if the power company asks just tell them you had an electrical issue and the electrician had to cut the power immediately. The power company does show up anywhere from a day to a month later and I tell them what he said and they just put on a new seal and leave.I should clarify, mine are wire-locked with tamper seals on them.

So my old growatts if you had PV and battery connected, but the inverter turned "off", it would still power on and run the MPPT when the sun was up to charge batteries, there would just be no DC -> AC inverter running.Can you clarify what your trying to do in more detail.
