Thanks @TerRob and @SignatureSolarJess , you rock!

Tks again for sharing. After approval, did they clarify, enumerate, codify or list a set of physical items that were required to be sent back? I ask because I essentially only have the inverters and a couple wires that came with them. Don't wanna go thru the process and have them send bills...

Thanks terrob, but this is what they said and does not answer the question. It's so bizarre that there isn't a straight forward answer like, "only the inverter itself is what is required to be returned". Just an answer of what exactly needs to be returned would be nice, unless it's simply just...

Hey all just spent almost a half hour on this question today, lots of other time elsewhere; what all exactly is required to be sent back on this program? The terms are vague. I don't have the boxes anymore.... Or all of the bags of stuff. Have you completed the program, anyone? Thanks in...

The dude in the red jacket is a doppelganger of "nomadic fanatic" on YouTube. I thought he started a different business there for a second. This system is majestic.....

I forsee this being possible, yes ?. Not fully thought out, but I have the stuff from my old spa. I'll spin off a separate thread after I skim the forum and .... Retweet? you in it. Heh, still can't work forums perfectly. Sorry, OP, for dragging this out.

So a ground fault inside the inverters would not cause the GFCI breaker to trip? I know they shut down on their own when there are issues. Anyway, I'm still finalizing research and will continue to verify outside of this thread too. (My 6500EXs will have the N/G bond screw removed) This...

Please pardon the misuse of acronyms in my last post, of there are any. It can be annoying to get that part wrong and be a sign of not knowing the fundamentals, which i think is a proper judgement should it be made.

So this is not just a GFCI thing, 17:09 is precisely where he mentions how it works with regular breakers, so go back a bit from there. The right size grounding conductor is supposed to provide a path for over current to trip a normal breaker. We have not been talking about electrical outlets so...

Hi, sorry for gumming up your thread but I hope the info and discussion was helpful. As for the question above, I think the answer is "yes" but it at least has to be sized right. This video is a good place to start for that. Second, I would be careful expecting it to trip the breaker if you have...

This does not happen in a properly sized system (17:39-18:22) This is close to related to your post, "doesn't grounding bring everything to the same potential? NO" (19:00-19:20). Is the thing you mention not related myth 2 in the video? I think it is (36:00) It's just worth watching the...

Try to prevent electrical shock by providing a path to turn off/open the circuit = safe to touch, then that's that.

? The original statement you had was why I posed the question and resources I did initially. It's fascinating how lethal the grounding subject can be.

Aux ground rods are very important to include here but it talks specifically about grounding myths and "touch". Also, I was not pointing out the welding example , you started earlier. Play it for two seconds from that time stamp, that welding subject is over with and then "Fact: grounding...

With regard to making a neutral ground bond in my motorhome and also driving a ground rod, connecting the two It's all right there. Would that be dangerous? yeah? It's good to know why and is applicable to OPs question. Nowhere did I say "don't drive a ground rod". I did share two unbelievably...
