I'm looking for a single battery meeting these specs to pair with an EG4
inverter for off-grid use.
Anyone who knows someone who can ship me a single unit at a reasonable
price, please let me know (off-list, ok).

Off grid the limit is 12kW of PV to the loads/battery.
You can better this by making some of the PV AC Coupled on the load side or
GEN input. Of course, you can AC couple all of the PV, but they do not
recommend that. Still, I have done this successfully. I'm not a fan of
having both DC and AC Cou
I am installing an EG4 off-grid 3k inverter for the first time, and the

you don't need them.

That's interesting on two fronts. I believe the documentation says you can
AC couple when off-grid with load side interconnected inverters. It would
have to have some mechanism to turn off AC coupled sources for that to
work. And it also says there is no modulation and it's on or off only.

We are seeing an uptick in consumers looking for whole home battery backup
systems without solar panels for shorter grid outages. They either want
battery only or battery with generator charging capability, either portable
or fixed.
I was planning on offering primarily Sol-Ark 15k for this scenari

I use that Greenlee stripper (buta cheap knockoff) sometimes when using
Allan's suggested double radial cut method, and it works well, but you have
to make sure the depth adjustment is set properly for the cable you are
using. With practice it can make nice cuts around the circumference.

I don't understand how SolarEdge expects contractors to support their
products effectively when it takes so long for a site transfer to go
through. I have picked up so many service clients with SolarEdge issues due
to companies dropping like flies in Florida. If you get on site and can't
have the m

With IQ8 series microinverters, there is an absolute limit of 64A connected
to the IQ Combiner input lugs of the System Controller. The DER port is not
for PV. It is for batteries that exceed the limits of the storage port. You
can have up to (8) 5P on the Storage lugs and (8) on the DER lugs. But
I don't really understand the resistance to Enphase on a roof (anymore, at
least). We have many thousands of microinverters out there, and I don't
even have a dedicated service department. We swap maybe 100 a year at the
most at this point, and that includes for systems we didn't install. It's
