    Is there a market for used Sol-Ark 15k???

    50% would be the minimum discount to start. I’d consider it as a spare/backup to mine in service, but again that would depend heavily on the cost to me. As Timselectric said, you buy new equipment (even if it’s to replace virtually the same device) it’s eligible for the credit. So you’d get...

    Used panels as low as $0.10/watt

    They sent it the next morning or something, still around 30¢/W for the panels I wanted, not a good enough deal SanTan Solar: Here's FREE Shipping! Use code: free_ship

    Used panels as low as $0.10/watt

    Anyone have the code for this promo? I signed up, even though I was already on their list, to get the code and haven’t been sent the code yet.

    DeWalt 4500lb shelving $119 home Depot

    I’ll bet if their pricing algorithm could display changes of decimal cents on the website it would.

    Just installed some EasyStarts on 5 ton AC

    I installed one of these (390 model I think) on my traditional AC unit. It was drawing something like 135A in startup and aside from the possibility of being able to run or start it on my 30a/7500W generator I wanted the inrush lowered to shock my 15k less. It’s down to an average of around...

    Sol-Ark 12k: can I have generator only charge batteries without also providing load?

    Chargeverter runs 5kW and 30a. OP wants a 50a capable solution-probably 8kw+. Though for a “beefy” Westinghouse that can produce 50a, it’s still a portable and shouldn’t be run at max continuously (portables aren’t meant for continuous use at their maximum ratings) maxing out the Chargeverter...

    PV Wire for ground

    Is this a code inspected application? If it is then no, ground needs to be factory colored the correct color (as stated anbove) and cannot be recoded as green/ground unless size 4AWG or above.

    Sinclair or MT Solar?

    That drawing doesn’t make any sense though. In the material table the call out a 12’ post (144” c channel) first line. But they call out 7’ imbedded and 8’3” above ground. Thats a 15.25’ long post not 12’. Even with their optional 14’ driven post (the difference in the length gets driven)...

    Can you run AC and DC cable in the same conduit

    Is that more strict to the left? Or more permissive?

    Can you run AC and DC cable in the same conduit

    In the US, per standard NEC, AC and DC conductors that are part of the “same system” can share space in the same enclosure. For example a wiring gutter that has solar DC going to the inverter and main AC from a switch to the inverter are part of the same system and permissible with certain...

    My hot tub uses 49% of my electricity per month...lets fix that.

    Mine fires up one of its 240v pumps to circulate and for the cleaning cycles- but only at a low speed. Under low loads and speeds 240v motors are more efficient than 120v ones pushed.

    From other answers posted here I believe you do have to do them individually.
