yea yea yea..... lol... my freak out was about the lack of response/support, not the number written down in the change log. ? You're very welcome, regardless what caused it, it's an eye opener for sure.... don't see many blow the roof off like that one did.now, remember I was using firmware NOT yet vetted nor approved for general use. I was a beta test user and forgot that myself when encountered the issue.
But I concur, that an outside "Power House" would be the best configuration away from one's main house. I wish I could build one, but alas, I don't have land space for that here. And I am running out of "life span" in my growing old years
thanks for the link, going to share with my brother who will **** a brick

I'm going to put my modules in a little cinder block/concrete bunker like a pump house and just put in lots of parallel 4/0 to the power house, it's a lot easier to buy lots of 4/0 or some copper bars between the two than a new house. Something that even if it blew like that video, everything else will be safe.My LiFEP04 cells are all inside 1/2" walls of cement board.
I cannot take down the inverter by myself, need to schedule some time with my 40 year old son (who is far more buff than I) to assist in removing the Xantrex.
Got an engine hoist?
How does a 140 pound weakling hang a 140 pound inverter?
When I hung my original 2.5 kW SWR-2500U inverters 17 years ago, I was probably stronger and they were only 75 lbs. I was able to carry them up a stepladder and hang them head high. Taking them down to upgrade was doable, but difficult When I hung 75 lb transformerless 10000TLUS under the deck...diysolarforum.com

I know @dougbert is all set now but I tore my rotator cuff trying to get an EG4 battery in place. My son lives over 1000 miles away and I’m too cheap to buy an engine hoist.
My solution was a 1 ton chain hoist from Amazon for $50. It hangs anywhere in the basement from the open rafters and has definitely earned its keep.
Just one more way to skin that cat ?.
sorry about the cuff, breaking ones self hurts

Thanks. Getting old sucks!
The only thing it beats is dying young ?.
A man after my own heart!I plan to die of electrocution before old age sets in.
Nice progress, looks good.
Are there any wireways inside the charge controllers? Could you mount one directly off the next just like you can with the larger Context 100 600? This would keep all the wiring internal and not require more conduit runs.
