Good to hear. Thanks all.

I’m in the market for 10 awg solar (outdoor rated) wire. Interestingly prices are pretty dramatically different at my usual vendors. I’ve never purchased from Windy Nation. Though I’m generally aware they’ve been around for a while. Any concerns? Thanks

In 100% convinced by those who say everything should be bonded together and run to a single earth ground consisting of two grid rods at least 6’ aside and bonded together. This includes the frames of solar panels and the racking system. But, what do I make of a racking system that is...

I was thinking that the voltage shown on the lynx bar would be what the inverter would sense when deciding whether to turn back on or not. Maybe there’s some fancy communication going on where the inverter instead sees the actual battery voltage. That’s way above my knowledge level.

Thanks. I was thinking that once the sun shines on the panels, voltage would go way up without regard to the battery state of charge.

Good evening, I’m taking another run at figuring out a way to air condition my conex. Here’s what I know so far: 1. Current Connected programmed my Quattro to shut down at 48 V. This threshold can be changed. 2. When voltage rises, the Quattro will attempt to restart. I believe 3 times...

We’re usually pretty civil in this forum. Be nice to keep it that way.

They have some nifty solar panel testers on amazon. Work great.

They are 12 foot galvanized h-beams. Got about 50 off craigslist. I will do something more formal with them. Right now, they are just going to lay on the ground. May get some limestone blocks to get a better angle. Now that I’ve put them out, I may use them permanently with some sort of...

What’s a wisp?

Thanks. Curious where you find this info.

Jeeze. Over current protection between the parallel strings, between the combiner and the mppt, and between the mppt and the bus bar? Though the lynx covers the last one, I think.

I don’t doubt you are correct. I was trying to reconcile this statement from the resource. “panels have a 'series fuse rating'. This is the *most* current the panel can handle without damage and therefore the OCPD current rating must be less than this value. This value is usually quite high...

Yep. Or one just like it. I’m beyond the specs but think it’s solid.

Tamarack post caps. The rest as above.
