Engineer775 thanks boss!

Cody Harring thanks. We just had our fourth baby so I’ve been a little busy.

funkinflugen thank you sir.

Brian Davis you fired it off early! Yes those are the mnspd300vac surge protectors by midnite solar. Do you want to buy an inverter. I can help you figure out what you need and talk you through it and sell it to you as cheap as anyone on the web

Gain Solar Services yes when we get to that point I planned on calling you with what I'm hoping to achieve with our needs hopefully you can help me come up with a design that we'll be happy with. I'll keep you posted on our progress, thanks for getting back to me so soon.

Gain Solar Services I'm going to start doing my lay out of what I'm hoping for in a system I know it's expensive so I can't afford any mistakes I have a big wish list do you have a website I can go to or? This whole thing is for my 40ft MCI MC9 hwy coach I know I want solar and maybe wind turbine for extended stays mounted on the roof but quick releases for travel I know you can buy commercial panels with big watts output I have a Honda EV6010 50 amp generator for backup and the coach has a 24 volt electrical system the alternator puts out 250 Hot amps so some kind of state of the art inverter regulator I bought one for my last coach almost 20 years ago by cruising equipment out of Seattle. Anyway that's kind of what I have to start with nothing on the inside will be 220 volts but wonder if a split phase might be the way to go and lithium batteries sounds like the way to go but are crazy expensive sorry for the small book here lets talk a little I would appreciate your feed back oh system design thanks for your videos easy to understand.

harley96cube thanks I can do more for you.

Hello

Felax Chow Have you bought an inverter yet? I’ll sell you one at a fine price. You could use a relay controlled by the generator circuit to switch the GTI off. Do you have an automatic start generator.

Yes, I already have the MS4448 for a few years and been tinkering with it. My generator does have an automatic start function, at the moment it is mainly remote start and manual transfer for the time being. My GTI setup is 6.4 kW and it is broken up into two arrays and I would like to have both arrays up, but I don't believe you can stack the ACLD-40 together as of yet. Since I can split them up, it is not a big deal. The fun part is moving the shelving unit, then the dryer and lots of measuring if I have the room to on that wall to put everything on it. It took me 2 years to upgrade to a metal roof and another 5 for my GT solar. Traded a few parts along the way and having fun at the same time. Plus, I need to fix my solar powered gable fan before it get too hot in the attic. Good times...

Urs Odermatt i use them with fine strand wire in terminals for solid and 7-11 strand. Are you using all fine stranded?

the large diameter wires for the batteries and inverters are fine strand wires. i use the boot lace ferrules for everything. if you have a good set with many colours they come in handy to colour code the wires as well. the ferrules are very helpful for inserting small sensing wires into the recalcitrant terminals. i am not quite sure about that, but europaen standards the ferrules are compulsory. the boot lace ferrules are particularly handy for screw terminals. peronally i think screw terminals should be outlawed.

Urs Odermatt awesome response. I’m not sure what a boot lace ferrule is. I have a set perhaps I should make a video about ferrules.

boot lace ferrules is just another name for the ferrules, those bits at the end of the wires you showed in the video

omar escalante the charge controller let the solar charge the battery. The inverter pulls power of the battery to run the loads

Dont try and backup a dryer or oven with solar. It's a losing battle, heat is too energy dense and if you want to backup a dryer or an oven you should convert it to gas or find another way to do what that appliance does. I'd use a clothes line for the dryer and a green egg or grill for the oven.

dwf dwf I’ll check and see if I can. Do you regularly order stuff from the states?

I have in the past Amazon and the like. Normally as a snow bird I just bring it back but we are staying home now.

Mark Franklin you’ll need to order different would square D QOU panel mount breakers.

Gain Solar Services ok thanks I will order a 30amp single

What model do you need. Where are you located. Jwv8783@gmail.com If you need help

Adirondacks4me see that interlock. Way better to use that with the gt500s instead of the transfer switch

Understood....good advice...a little tricky with potential redundancies from stuff built into the 4448...that people are use to using..
