How to wire a DC Solar Isolator Switch. These can be very daunting when you open the box and are faced with 8 terminals and a wiring diagram often missing from the box. In this video, I give you a detailed walk-through of how the switch is built, what to look for when buying a switch, and how we can wire it into our solar system.

    This video is for those that have one of these PV isolators and need to know how it is wired. This is not the place to suggest alternatives as that just confuses purpose of this video. Save your time and mine we will discuss DC breakers in another video ๐Ÿ˜Š thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

    I've just binge watched this whole series. It's blooming brilliant but... why are there no more episodes? I'm chomping at the bit here! โค๏ธ
  • @user-jn8wf1xi6u
    Greg, this budget build is exactly what I have been looking for. The episodes have stopped at 16 though ๐Ÿ˜ข. I'm so hoping that you will be adding to these with insulation and lining of the walls and ceilings, furniture and finishing etc. Your choice of h2l2 is exactly what I am looking at so this is gold dust for me. Thanks so much for everything you have done to date ๐Ÿ‘

    So simple when you know, so confusing when you don't. Thanks!

    I was wondering how you are doing Greg, are you keeping ok? With your help I've got my daughter's van coming along very nicely - slow, but pleased with how it's going. I reckon a couple more months and I'll be ready to hand it over to her. Just thought I'd take time out to thank you and say I hope you are ok. All the very best, Richard

    Brilliant Greg. A lot of folks will be grateful for this one. I really needed this about 3 months ago. It was a real head scratcher for me at the time but I'm now relieved to see i did install it as you advised here.
