I don’t believe so, although you will need to use the new trunk cable system

Yes, wire nuts, and loose connections are a big issue in AC circuits as

loose/burnt/arcing connections behind receptacles and switches. Usually
caused by sloppy workmanship, or contractors being in a hurry.

I also concurr, NEVER use wire nuts on the roof, I've personally installed
them, and come back 3-4 years later, and found them melted. Wire nuts are
simply for insulating a splice, not to be counted on for the mechanical
connection. I make my guys twist solid wire together before installing a

Why not use an IOTA 48V plug in battery charger? In a backup situation, the
TL can output at 120V up to 1500W, should be enough to help out.

Just installed one. A little noisy (like a small refrigerator running) but
