I'm in So Cal and have a lot of experience with a system I had designed and installed and revised. I do not sell anything. I do not...

If you have 4 panels, you should be mounting them so all 4 j boxes are next to each other on the underneath side. This makes it real...

Will, do you or the company know of any solar/PV/structural engineers who will put a stamp on a plan that includes this mount? My area...

Well, the first thing is to figure out can it be done and how so? You will need to know the volume of water contained in the spa, the...

This is my free advice: We start with 2 rows of panels, 10 panels connected in series. At the last PV + and PV- connection in a...

Just fix the bad micros and ac couple to a hybrid battery inverter. Simple.

I use wire ferrules on the ends of my 10 awg PV wire and 10 awg THHN wire. Makes them easy to make sure none of the strands get bent...

From your panels to a combiner box you should be using PV rated wire. This wire is rated to be in the air and weather and is also rated...

For any damp or wet locations, no wire nuts and no split bolts UNLESS you will be permanently potting them with electric safe epoxy. In...

As a rule of thumb, you should only be selling back to the grid when you are generating PV in excess of your loads and need to charge...

So if I understand you correctly, you have 200 amp service coming in to the property. It seems that from this service entrance, there...

I noticed some of the hardware being recommended to you. I have attached 2 photos of my iron. The first is how I wire my combiner box...

I see a few major problems at work here. First, it is very nice that you built a ground mount for your panels. Except every panel by a...

Rather than "awning", lets agree to call this a covered car port or RV port, vehicle cover, etc. It is not an awning. And it may not...

The only way you can "take advantage" of an MPPT connection is if the panels are of different capacities between the MPPT connections or...
