I have to say this is the best channel on Solar Installations by far. Thanks for making the videos. Excellent documentation, hope the videos are bringing you some amazing customers. Well done!
@SolarEngineering With the 2 strings (high and low) did you use the apsmart single core or dual core transmitter? Or can a single core accommodate both positive wires from the 2 strings? TIA
I’m doing a near identical install…question…. Did you ground the DPU inverter? Also, did you ground the entire roof array to the SHP2 which is grounded to main panel?
@@SolarEngineeringThank you. Interested to figure out what settings they used as I have challenges with mine. If I schedule a charging task (for example at night when electricity is cheaper), I cannot set a target charge, so it will charge to max charging value. As a result when the solar panels first come online, no charging will take place, because the batteries are already at max charge value. Aka you can't charge your batteries overnight to X% and set top the batteries from X% to 100% with solar. You have to change the value of max charge, twice a day (before you go bed and before the sun comes out).
I would never use one of these low surge, short lived, high frequency, ecoflows to power my home. They offer a poorer surge capacity, and a shorter life expectancy than real inverters that use low frequency, tansformer based inverter technology.
Sounds like competitor mentality. Never say never and there’s a fit somewhere in this world or they wouldn’t invest millions into development. Thank you Costco🤓
@URackADiscipline what do you mean by "overpriced and underpowered". Planning to install a solar system but don't know much about. Any input would be great.

Your feedback is highly appreciated.
Nice and Clean job, Saludos desde Mexico

yes, you can pass it trough one single core.

check 5:16 there 6awg bare copper wire for ground
Does the excess solar energye goes back to the grid?
no, it cannot backfeed to the grid
What is the name/brand of the rack mount and the foot? Thank you!
IronRidge FlashFoot2 / XR-10
@@SolarEngineering thank you
Where are you located? I have a Ecoflow Ultra Pro too. I would like a quote for similar installation if you are near?
Bay Area, Ca
How did you configure the SHP2/DPU combo to accept the solar charge in addition of the grid charging?
Owner did configure unit, so I'm not sure about grid charging

@@fr3nchy69 This is something you can suggest to EcoFlow to manage the max charge via their app.
Can you provide details on the equipment used for RSD?
APSmart RSD-S-415002
APSmart PLC-KIT-SC
planning to do a video in about 2 weeks with all details about this system
@@SolarEngineering Thank you!
Yeah the addition of the RSD to roof mounted systems is a bit out of my comfort level lol
Where is ground ??
5:16 6awg bare copper wire
Blue tape used -- ! )
that's a really magical tape, everything can be fixed with it 😁
JerryRigEverything did same video with 2 panels 😂
Didn’t even show it charging smh
special for you 5:45
@@SolarEngineering ok but I wanted to see it pulling 2k to 3k of powerrrrr I have the delta pro and easily pull 1600 watt all day

Here we are again with another comment about inverters. Get a job man.
Its a shame the customer wasted their money on that ridiculously overpriced and underpowered EcoFlow garbage.

@@beidlern It's called common sense mentality. And with so few people having it, why not invest millions in development...
