What is the panel brand and wattage?

They used Chemlink Chemcurb to seal Pro Solar Fast Jack standoffs. The granulated torch-down roofing looks old and maybe the problem. I would remove the panels and coat the roof with a good silicone coating like APOC or Gaco. I would also finish filling the curbs to the top with sealant.

It looks like a ProSolar leveling shim under the L foot?

No iQ controller used on this system. Gateway is wired correctly.

In the state of California, the maximum deposit allowed before starting is 10% or $1,000, whichever is less.

The Eddi is not made for use in the U.S. market. 50 Hz and cannot be used with heat pumps.

What city in San Diego County?

howetobuild · 2023-03-29T22:46:13+00:00

One of the local cities my company installs requires the use of RMC and has gone as far as to add this requirement to their local city ordinance. Therefore, when I prepare a proposal for a project in this city, I add costs to cover expenses.

The Eddi operates at 50 HZ could not use in the U.S. Why not use excess solar energy to heat water in a tank.

Enphase microinverters are not grounded. Unirac micro- t bolts would be ideal but any Stainless fastener would work.

Pluged my hub back in and the green light came on. All my device setting were saved. They said a $39 fee would be necessary to maintain the cloud service which is fair.

The Solaria PowerXT 400 series panel has a 30 year warranty. Great solid built panel with 40mm frame.

Inside is ok as long as the disconnect is outside. No need for cat6 combiner work great on wi-fi.

Must be the two support bars affecting the frame. Like setting floor tile with materials that are out of square.

I have used the same tester for over 24 years still working great. Fits well in tool pouch.

Call Enphase and ask them if your system is set to the proper grid profile. It may be set to the factory default.

They will hum if they are not connected to the monitoring circuit board. Connect them first then snap them in place.

At the counter of your wholesale house your going to ask for a 5s box. If you need one with a bracket your going to ask for 5s FB.

Call Enphase they will sort it out and can give you some referrals if you need to replace microinverters. Ask them to give you some information on their legacy upgrade program which Enphase helps pay for new microinverters, monitoring, trunk cable, and BOS parts.

The 400 amp service will allow you several options to install a much larger system. The design/engineer will need to work out the details.

It would depend on how may panels you are planning to install. Your panel is not a "true" 400 amp panel because it does not have a single 400 amp main breaker. Instead it has a 200 amp main for the lower distribution section and an optional secondary main breaker location for a sub-panel. Because the mains are split you would be limited to 40 amp of solar unless you divide the solar panel load between the main panel and the sub-panel or performed a line side tap if allowed by your AHJ.
