Hello wrenches, I haven't done this myself but I have heard that taking it down to a shop and getting it water jetted is the way to go. It will fool the AHJ every time. Thanks On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 4:28 PM, Allan Sindelar < al...@positiveenergysolar.com> wrote: > Several years ago we added

Hi Chris, Thanks for your involvement with this. I will answer below. * On the activation issue, Generac required not only the serial number, but the exact address. The system was off grid in a remote location and had no mail delivery. The client was not available for information, so we cou

Drake, As a Generac service dealer, I brought your generator problem to the attention of Generac's managers. They had a couple of comments: 1) The activation issue sounds like a misunderstanding. Activation is only a data gathering process, I normally do it online ( https://www.activategen.com/ ).

Several years ago we added 3,200 watts to an existing 24V system with an APT 4B, which has only 5 CD-style DC breaker spaces. We had to add four more OBDC panel-mount breakers. We installed them in the cover of the SW4024's DC conduit box. Same method; drill, jigs

I just did one with 32 tooth/ in. jig saw, then filed it to clean the edges. Came out decent, but took about 20 minutes. I would tape over as well to avoid scratches. I know they make punches, but they're stupid expensive, and easy to break the corners off. R.Ray Walters CTO, Solarray, Inc Na

We have bezels laser cut out of 16 gauge steel with the breaker pattern. Then we do a rough cut in the enclosure using a jig saw and rivet the bezel on. Breakers attach directly to the bezel. Alternatively, many enclosure supplies will punch whatever you want into an enclosure. It gets expensive a
