Thanks for including links to all of your sources!

Great explanations on all stuff great video thank you!!

The guys and gals at Signature Solar are awesome and we're very helpful getting me the stuff I needed for my 5k off grid system. It is really nice to have a source for PV equipment here in Texas.

Great video Thanks for sharing 👍🏽

Thanks for making this video. I have nearly an identical system but I opted for a second auto-transformer. You’re a bit ahead of me as I don’t have my components in place yet. I really appreciate the details you include in your videos as I too am not an electrician. Keep them coming!

Thanx for showing us what you're doing, I've been collecting panels etc for a solar set up,and the DC isolator is not as straightforward as I was hoping..👍

I picked up my 6 EG4s last Thursday. Stoked! I bought the 6-server rack too, but my batteries didn't include the battery-to-bus bar jumper wires like shown in DavidPoz's video. I'll need to buy/make 12 x 12" jumper wires to get my battery bank going.

You are a great teacher, not only because you admit when you make a mistake, but explain what you did wrong and what to do to correct it for your students (us, your fans). Me, being a wannabe engineer, saw how you had the wire coils on the PVC roller and immediately thought, "this will not end well." Notably, because the roller itself wasn't centered to the riser (the coils will tend to gravitate toward the pulling force), and there was no separation between them (a piece of heavy cardboard, or scrap plywood, a little larger than the coils will do), which will lead to them getting tangled, as you found out. The only other question I have is whether you wanted the MC4 connectors to remain on the wires as you fed them through the conduit for some reason? It seems that it would have been easier to feed the cables through if you had cut them off (leaving enough wire to splice later), if you didn't need them at the switch. I presume it was just an oversight in the excitement of getting a major step done, which, to be honest, I'd have made myself. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20. I'm really looking forward to the next episode. P.S., I was wondering if you are planning to have a licensed electrician check everything over prior to 'throwing the switch'? My belief is that it is always a good idea to have a wisened set of eyes check my work, especially if it is out if my wheelhouse. Besides, you could make a new friend that may lend their expertise for a plug on your channel. 😉

Nice channel, You can get nylon fish tape, no dis respect meant cables should be on reels not coiled, make a portable wire rack to serve lots of purposes inside and out. Metal conduit is good.

Oh my goodness.. Sally would string me up if I cut the water line.. this stuff reminds me of my Marine Corps days running wire during deployment.

You'll need a hell of a lot of wire, to install it all over our solar system. 😁

Hey mate, why did you run your cables with the mc4 connectors connected?

Very helpful, thank you! How did you found out about the order? (Batteries, panels, turn the inverter on?)

Great video! I just got done running my 8 gauge pv wire thur my conduct the other day ... I ran 4 wires also here's a tip - cut off the mc4 connector right away then run thur conduct that way theres no way its gets caught up inside the conduct ... keep up the great work!

Great video, how much voltage drop did you get on that run from panel array to inverter?

Busy dog. Lots of supervising for the trenching.

I wonder if optimizers could be used on panels ?

Great videos as usual. I was wondering I thought you're supposed to switch to metal conduit for those PV wires once they enter the home based on 2020 NEC code?

You mentioned you're going from the panels into a PV combiner box, correct? I'm setting up an 8S2P array (395W 49VOCx8=392V), and Signature Solar told me I can use Y connectors from the 2P strings right to the DC disconnect then into the inverter. I'm still a little fuzzy on all the fine points of solar components, but I'm curious why that additional component is necessary at the array.
