Hi Felman, I am currently using 2 AC500s to power my 2000 sq ft shop. I need the 240v system to power some of the circuits including one of my mini splits. The AC500's are pretty amazing! I will have a...

My first question. What is your budget? Because I have a recommendation that simplifies everything, however, it does come with a cost.

Hi Dinesh, I would highly recommend the Aptos Solar 440w panels. I have 31 of them in my shop waiting to be installed on my new system that I am working on. I have tested the 370w, 400w and 440w versions...

Hi Deborah, In most cases it usually depends on the location of the meter. The reason the AC disconnect and combiner are installed outside is because most jurisdictions require them to be within 6ft of...

Hi Bonnie, I assume those 435w panels are mono not bifacial, correct? If so, then I think you have nailed it on the pairing. Just note, that you will only produce a max of 384 watts per panel since that...

Hi Ben, What part of the country are you in? Yes, you would need to add a separate branch for that add-on.

Hi Karl, I used Lyrasolar.com, which only cost $85 to get the drawings.

Joe, You could mount the microinverters to the back side of the solar panels, if that is necessary.

Hi Michael, My first question is was this installed by a company? The next question would be: What type of microinverters are you using?

My first question is: Are you planning on doing this work yourself?

My line entry comes in from the bottom of the box and wraps around to the top of the panel inside the service panel. Both CT's are added on the feeder lines (before the main breaker). I hope that clears...

Yes, you can install it yourself, I installed my system and I still have the warranties. What they are leaving out is that all you need to do is complete Enphase's training courses online to become a certified...

I think the best place to get these in the US at this time is through NAZ Solar & Electric. ( Located in Flagstaff, Arizona )

At the time I used Lyrasolar.com I have heard some people having access problems now though. I am not sure if they are focusing on business applicants first and putting DIY'er applications further down...

I did something very similar using the Bluetti EP800. I have a couple of videos on that. You can find the links to that system in my video descriptions. Plus save an additional 5% if you go that route....

Yes, you can charge your batteries using the solar-only option.

Hi Bill, I do not have the spreadsheet on that, I have searched my archive files and I can't seem to locate it. However, although it's not ideal I did showcase everything in the video.

I am using the Bluetti EP800 system as my backup system to my Enphase. Currently, I have about 15kWh of backup capacity.
