Re: [RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k Conduit Entries

[Jerry Shafer via RE-wrenches]

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 through
the battery conductors right out the bottom and to the battery. I just
create a template for punching into the gutter, looks clean and is safe
with easy access to the display
Fun times

Re: [RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k Conduit Entries

[Maverick Brown via RE-wrenches]

Jason

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 relatively close arrangement 
between the gutter and the inverter of two EMT male adapters and a just enough 
EMT to make them connect. 



Thank you,

Maverick

[RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 15k Conduit Entries

[Jason Szumlanski via RE-wrenches]

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
2-in nipples if I have enough room.

If there are any practical reasons that this will not work well, please let
me know.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Solar edge question

Hi KirkThanks. Their system is from around 2017. Battery/inverter have worked fine. Is there a way to go from offgrid like it is now to grid tie battery backup?  And what parts are needed?ThxJayOn Aug 2, 2023, at 6:27 AM, Kirk Herander  wrote:Hi Jay,The energy hub is incompatible with older Storedge inverters.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Solar edge question

Hi Jay,

The energy hub is incompatible with older Storedge inverters. And the newer
SE battery pack is also incompatible with the Storedge.

[RE-wrenches] Solar edge question

[Jay via RE-wrenches]

Hi all

For all you SE experts. 

I got contacted from someone who has an offgrid system of a SE 7600A and 
battery. Works fine. 

They want to connect to grid power, which is right at the street because they 
want an EV. 

My question is, what do they need to make this a normal sell back and battery 
backup ( for a sub panel). 

Is it just the SE energy hub backup interface?  Or?
And does the 7600A work with that?

Thanks in advance 
Jay
