Ferrules have their place. A clamp style terminal is not it. Can the right conductor with the right ferrule and right shape of crimp, be good enough. Yes But good enough is never my goal for connections. The best possible connection for the situation is my goal.

This is the best possible connection for a clamp style terminal.

The 6kxp is currently available. Nothing on a 12k, yet. There is an 18kpv available. (Which is actually a 12k)

Great pictures, everyone. I couldn't see anything. Maybe next time.

Yes What country are you in?

Yes

You will need the Smart Shunt and the VE direct cable.

This is what most of us are doing. The smart shunt is selectable in the battery monitoring section.

Almost everyone would agree with this. (Including me) Solar Assistant, yes. Inverter, no.

No, that is lever style. Yes, on the set screw style.

Yes, that's not a chargeverter. Sounds risky, good luck.

Those are clamp style terminals in the video.

Only if the conductors have fine strands that can be damaged by the set screw. (Twisting against them)

You misunderstood what he said. He was referring to grounding/bonding the negative PV conductor. Which you should not do. You should only ground the frames.

Lightning protection is a separately installed system. It doesn't connect to what you want to protect. It is built above and around what you want to protect. Electrical grounding is for personal safety. Everything you can touch must be kept safe to touch. AC power can (or already does) exist...

You are absolutely correct. Any request would fit. And you are also correct, here. Since Noone has offered an 18k yet. It could be anything you want.

That's earthing, not grounding. You are not going to the ground rod at the house. You are connecting to the grounding system at your house. (Where the N/G bond is)

If I don't see the pretty lights. I'm shooting a street light with paint balls.

It must be placed horizontal in a trench with continuous drip irrigation.

Any small relay would do. It's a tiny current on the power switch wire. Just need the coil voltage to match the control source. (Grid voltage)

I'm not worried. But I'm not connected to the grid. I just want to see the pretty lights.

You could put a relay on the inverter power switch, fed from the grid.

How do you send pictures over ham radio? lol

It's only designed for 48v batteries. It can be set from 43v to 57v. What voltage are your other batteries?

That is not possible because it's doesn't use a split-phase input. It's a variable voltage single phase input. But it does automatically limit the output by 50% when connected to 120v. (Half the voltage in = Half the power out) It would take a complete redesign to work the way you suggest...

May not be necessary, since there's no atmosphere and no possibility of personal contact.

I love chicken. It's my second favorite meat.

People being Suspicious about Suspicious things. I thought I was clear. lol

I have used these for lots of projects. https://a.co/d/1i0qkjg

Nope Not any more than a typical rainy day. I have plenty of production. This is just another option for the future, maybe.

I'm only interested in the pretty lights, hopefully.
