I'd 2nd using the Polaris and similar insulated block connectors. Easy
to make a good connection, easy to test voltage without disturbing the
connection, easy to double check connection torque, and easy to
reverse. They are direct burial rated, although I've never actually
felt that confident
Hi Blake - Greetings from across the Bay! We've been using the
Buchanan/Ideal splice caps for approximately the last 5 years - they are
awesome. As you mention, there is a lot of grey area in exactly what is
appropriate in an outdoor box and rated for the various combos of wires we
use in solar. Th
We're setting up charge points for a new pack of SimpliPhi 3.8
batteries. Needed to use the voltage "offset" function in the FM80's a
bit to jive with the 2, Fluke 87 meters we got testing the actual
voltage at the battery bus bars. However. the Mate3s is reading .6
volts high and can't find
Bill; The Mate 3s has calibration offset screens for both the inverter(s)
and charge controller(s).

Do you have a flexnet DC? I believe that is the master voltage indicator
that's displayed on the mate. There is an adjustment potentiometer for that
in the flexnet. Search for flexnet DC calibration and you will see a
document from outback for that.
This can make a huge difference for accurate soc

Dear RE-Wrenches -
King Richard the Third had an otherwise good life because he did not have to
track down a very specific PV module - just a new horse.
Do any of you know where I can find an ET Solar ET-P660230 230Wp module?
Thank you,
Paul

I'd be interested to hear thoughts on Wago 221-6XX series connectors,
specifically for THWN to Enphase IQ/DG/TC conductor transitions or just
THWN splices.

Friends:
The information from the manufacturer seems entirely untrustworthy for
these reasons:
1. The representative is mis-informed about the prevalence of stranding
of THHN.
2. It is my understanding the all THHN on the market is now THWN so this
designation should be used (I am ready
On a practical note, MC-4 functions fine with THHN inside a weather
proof enclosure. It will not seal, due to the smaller overall diameter
of the cable.
THHN is rated for 90C. It is not sunlight resistant, and should never be
used exposed.

Surprised to read no one mentioning the Wiley Pass Thru boxes.
That is what I used on my house, though I had a cranky inspector and wanted to
avoid any conflicts.
Yes, they are expensive, but they are UL and easy.

Hi Jason - I noticed that Tesla is using the Wago connectors in their
Powerwalls. They only go up to #10, but they certainly appear to have some
advantages such as easy QC inspection, compactness, and price. We are in
the process of trying a batch of these out, but I hadn't considered using
them in
August,
Thank you for this suggestion. I went to the site, and under "Two Sizes
for All Conductor Types" on that page it appears that there's a model
that'll work with 2-10AWG conductors:
"With the 6 mm2 (10 AWG) variant, you can connect all conductor
types – with cross sections from 0.
I have two Schneider XW 6848s in an off-grid system. I've had some issues I
think we've gotten figured out in relation to the configuration of the
inverters as master/slave.
Now it seems the inverters shut down for ten seconds or so in the evening
at 7:59. It doesn't seem to have done it last nigh
Hi Laura,
Yes, we encountered something similar but not the same. It was a single
XW+5548. It would, very briefly, lose power occasionally, nothing at a
specific time, but consistently, a few times per week. I fixed it by
reinstalling the latest firmware. Its been fine for about a year now so
