All the way from the lug in the garage, through the inside of the house to the outside, and from panel to panel, or do I need to connect it to solid copper for the actual connection to the grounding lugs I intend to use on each panel? Thanks!

Somewhat fortuitously I guess, the 12 AWG solar wire wouldn't be delivered until late October, so I cancelled and ordered the 10AWG. I'm going to pull a 10AWG solid copper ground along with it. Inside my transfer switch there's a ground and it's even screwed together inside the box for the...

Let's see if I can describe this better. The pergola is in the back, southeast corner of my property, all wood, but attached to the house. The panels will go there. I was going to run the 2 sets of 12AWG through PVC conduit about halfway across the house outside, and then through the wall to...

One last question, and I know there's a lot of info on grounding in the forum, but in the case of this system, 8 panels on a wood pergola, all DC just to charge the Delta Pros, no invertors, not grid-tied etc., should I also run a ground wire from panel to panel, and then through the house and...

I mean it's not grid-tied in any way. I'm just throwing 8 used solar panels on my pergola :)

Exactly. 4 panels in series, 2 wires in to the house, across the basement ceiling and up in to the garage plugged in to one Delta Pro, then same for the other 4 panels. Outside I'm planning on putting the wire in pvc conduit but it's only about 15' from the panels to where they'll go through...

I already had a transfer switch for critical circuits in my house, but I never owned a generator. I bought a pair of Ecoflow Delta Pros with the Dual Voltage Hub and it works great. Today I caught the sale at SanTan Solar and got a great price on 10 (minimum order) Canadian Solar CS6P-265P...

Apparently they're closing their Savanah location and so everything there is like 25% off. Very limited supply but I took advantage and ordered 10 265W Canadian panels. With the coupon code, residential delivery with liftgate in PA, under $1000. I don't work there, I've never ordered from...

Maybe better to look at the JA Solar 440. 3 in series gives me: Max power output: 1320.52W Max power voltage (Vmp): 134.61V Max power current (Imp): 10.44 A Loss: 0% Cheaper anyway.

Thanks for the quick reply. I guess I have 2 concerns to think about. First, the temperature coeficient: Temperature Coefficient (Pmax) -0.35 % / °C Temperature Coefficient (Voc) -0.27 % / °C Temperature Coefficient (Isc) 0.05 % / °C Around here in winter, we might get a few 0 degrees F days...

I've searched and read here and on reddit and I think I understand, but before I order panels, I want to be sure I understand. I have a pair of Ecoflow Delta Pros. I know they can take 1600 watts of solar with a limit of 150 volts. I think it's ok if I'm over on the watts, but I can never go...
