Ok I'm running an MPPSOLAR pip-1012-LV. 1000w inverter system in an off-grid setup from a DIY 280ah LifePo4 battery bank and 600w of panels.
Until today I was just using a cut extension cord hooked directly into the output of the MPPSOLAR for 120v.
I hooked up a load center with 3 breakers (a double slot 30amp to the inverter out, to power both bus bars. And 2 single slot double pole breakers each hooked to 2 outlets in my tiny house.)
I wired it up with the separate ground bar because I thought that would be the way to do it... But now I'm not sure if I should have used the included Green ground bonding screw for the neutral bar and just hooked the ground and neutral into there?
Here are some photos.
Should I use the green ground screw to link the neutral bar to the panel casing, or leave it off?
