i like using gutters, it keeps it clean
you can just as easily put the gutter vertical on the side and use close
nipples…..

I just checked out the Homegrid batteries. Just throwing this out there. If
there is enough ceiling height you could hang them. That's typically how we
deal with transformers in commercial and industrial settings. We usually
build a permanent gantry out of square tubing, 1/2" rod and strut. Then
Very nice Install Michael! Was that the project on the xxCloud River we
talked about?
It looks like you have kept the gutter heat gain down to protect
electronics. "the rule of thumb is that every 10°C increase in
temperature reduces component life by half"
Michael,
I think your work looks stellar, and I seriously doubt there would be any
airflow issues.
I plan to use strut to put the inverters out from the wall to deal with the
working depth issue, which should also help with airflow. That was part of
my thought process - even if the inverters
We handle the 15Ks much like most vfds since both have cooling vents in the
rear and knockouts or wiring compartments in the rear. What we do is set
the units back so that the rear portion is hanging off of the rear of the
gutter. The gutter in this case is held off of the wall for air flow. It
Thanks, Lou. I missed that 6" bottom spacing requirement in the manual.
That could explain a lot of the installation pictures I have seen.
On the flip side, we have seen some examples of installations in this
thread without this 6-inch spacing, presumably without any adverse effects.
Obviously,
Hello All,
Super impressive install, Michael. Almost worth a flight, and a site visit!
Back to Jason's initial question
If you are using the 15kW Outdoor Sol-Ark they vent from the top and bottom
with a required 6" minimum spacing on both the top and bottom.
A 12kW Outdoor with 8x8 gutter

In plenty of applications l will use couplers with chase nipples, height is
one issue but installed working height is very important. I use a 8"x8"x X
gutter and sometimes even off set that from the wall, l have had AHJ not
want to see mixed cables LVDC and AC in the same conduit so pass

The old Sol-Ark had the PV disconnect and the Wi-Fi adapter connection on the
bottom and that needed about six or 8 inches of clearance. The current Sol-Ark
has those items on the side of the unit so you don’t need such clearance on the
bottom. I installed several Sol-Ark and I use the
I see a lot of pictures with conduit nipples coming out of a gutter that
are fairly long. I have a height limit issue and I'm wondering if there are
any negative implications of using very short nipples between a wireway
below and the inverter. I'm thinking about using close nipples or perhaps
