    Is there a MINIMUM length for mini-split line sets?

    16’ is probably more useful than 8’ or something shorter. Producing and stocking multiple sizes cuts into profits and raises the cost of the product.

    Ground-neutral bonding in 200 amp disconnect switch

    1. You will have to run a ground wire from this disconnect to the main panel. 2. You will have to bound the neutral and ground in this disconnect. 3. In the main panel all your grounds and neutrals need to be separate. If it were me, I would get a neutral/ground buss large enough to fit the...

    Car charger not working on off-grid system

    If your tester says open ground then your ground is not hooked up to your receptacle or you don’t have a neutral ground bond. It has nothing to do with a ground rod. But you still should have a ground rod for safety.

    Do you own an EV and charge with solar?

    You may be better off with one big system. It is easier to manage. I had an Ev 9 years before my solar so nothing really changed. Just have a small electric bill now.

    3 phase to a 2 Phase Eg4 18kpv Inverter

    I work on 208 often. And I see it coming from the utility around 220. I rarely see 208. It is always higher in my area. If I see 218 on a 208 service, I consider it good.

    EG4 18KW will not pull PV power

    Trace all ac wires down load and grid, and label each end L1 or L2. If any are crossed you will have big problems. If you don’t understand you can have an electrician go over it. You could also turn off all breakers and do a continuity test between L1 and L2. You should have no continuity...

    Sol-Ark relay based alternative for critical loads

    You just need a relay to turn off a breaker panel. Like you said. You can always put n a bypass switch to manually turn on the relay, if you need that panel live again in a power outage. Maybe you can use one of the contacts in the solark to control the relay?

    Hooking the EG4 6000xp to a Manual Transfer Switch with 10 or 12 circuits

    I just installed this inverter for a friend. I came out of the main panel with a 50a circuit to a transfer switch. From the transfer switch I used Polaris lugs to so I could feed the transfer switch and the inverter. Then the inverter output went to the other side of the transfer switch. We...

    Installing a breaker panel between inverter and production meter

    That makes sense. If the shop was pulling more then the solar produces. The meter would not turn.

    Installing a breaker panel between inverter and production meter

    I’m not familiar with a 2 meter system. I would run the shop from the main breaker pannel. Dose the power company have a drawing on how things need to be hooked up. Or from the house.

    How many kw can your inverter backfeed to the grid? Your pv array dose not determine that number.
