    I’m looking at an off grid inverter. Initially I was considering the Solis inverter like you have here. But I’m now looking at Sunsynk inverters. A couple of advantages: 8.8kW AC output (including EPS output). 16kW peak output for 10 seconds, which is excellent for motor starting. Ability to parallel inverters on the EPS network.

      If you have to pay for power it's not good but I've done the calcs and this way looks promising. Everyone says you need to mine 24/7 for best efficiency but the numbers say different. It may be slower but it may be the tale of the hare and the tortoise.

In your case just to check it out you can just connect the grid, no solar or battery, then there's no worry about export. Are they using Smart Meters in Okinawa?

It gives me a better idea of what I need to do myself here this weekend in beginning to wire mine up. I got most of the parts in hand now. Just waiting on the electrician to install the manual transfer switch and upgrade the incoming feed from the pole from 100v single phase to a 200v split phase. So might be another week or more before it's done. In the meantime I will unbox mine perhaps on Saturday and start it up to check out the app and basic settings.

      These are the steps according to the manual, 5.2 Commissioning Procedure Step 1: With the DC switch off, energize the PV strings and then measure DC voltage of the PV strings to verify that the voltage and polarity are correct. Turn on the battery and check the battery voltage and polarity as well. If RSD is being used, the PV strings will be at safety voltage (~0.6-0.6Vdc per module in the string). + - Step 2: Turn on the OCPD for the system and then measure the AC voltages line to line and line to neutral. The backup side of the system will be off until commissioning is complete. Turn the OCPD back off for now. Step 3: Turn the DC switch on and then the OCPD (AC breaker) for the system. If you are using rapid shutdown, the voltage should increase after a few seconds. If it does not, give the rapid shutdown initiation switch a clockwise turn so that it pops out.

    Ed here is what I think hire someone that knows what they are doing. You are running the risk of hurting or killing you or someone else. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing sometimes. Make sure you get the grounding right. Also the pipe is usually glued together first and the cable pulled after the pipe install is complete.

    Great idea. Simple, cheap and effective. I've used the Signature Solar claps before and I was thinking of using some unistrut in a particular place instead of the 6" mini rail they sell also. I'll still use the flashing, just replace the mini rail with a long length of unistrut. They sell two different thread adapters for the unistrut but a washer will be much cheaper I'm sure. The clamps also come in different heights for different thickness panels.

    • @DIYSolarFarming
