    Nice detail. Like these insides for a code compliant install. I’m researching for my DIY solar. Thanks
  • I am so glad you are covering these safety and code issues. I know you are not teaching to be a licensed electrician but this will help customers be safe and hopefully pass inspection in only one or two visits
  • @danhoffman9392
    Waterproof fttg needed as de said to prevent rain incursion.
  • @KingJames6306
    What is the reason for the manual transfer switch when the inverter has grid input and ATS?
  • @ronbown3836
    I got a question if you don't use solar and store them in the winter when the sun's not out will the solar panels last longer?
  • @samfish6938
    our code does not allow plastic pipes conduit

    this is one of the things I hate about these installs, they make the side of the house look like an industrial complex. Someone needs to come out with a cleaner way of installing these. This looks Crazy for residential.

    Hopefully if the system is installed in a small electric room it will alleviate much of the water proofing.
