I would add a DC fuse in the battery line, just in case just before the DC breaker

Neat!

Nice! I'm super stocked to see this. Love your setup too. Nice and clean. I appreciate you showing how you wired it up too. It gives me a better idea of what I need to do myself here this weekend in beginning to wire mine up. I got most of the parts in hand now. Just waiting on the electrician to install the manual transfer switch and upgrade the incoming feed from the pole from 100v single phase to a 200v split phase. So might be another week or more before it's done. In the meantime I will unbox mine perhaps on Saturday and start it up to check out the app and basic settings.

Sounds good! Let us know how it works out!

[@Eddie-n7f]

Good idea on the connectors! I'm gonna use that!

[@DIYSolarFarming]

Go for it!

Which reminds me. Can you share more details (screenshots or video) on the specific settings and where you set them for the pylontech protocol and any other settings areas that were needing to be adjusted? I'll have to find the location to adjust the L1 and L2 output voltage down from 120 to 105v.

Shure thing!

Nice job how was the startup Did you have to get the inverter on first then the battery? Im about to order the solis and an 82kwh tesla m3 pack

These are the steps according to the manual, 5.2 Commissioning Procedure Step 1: With the DC switch off, energize the PV strings and then measure DC voltage of the PV strings to verify that the voltage and polarity are correct. Turn on the battery and check the battery voltage and polarity as well. If RSD is being used, the PV strings will be at safety voltage (~0.6-0.6Vdc per module in the string). + - Step 2: Turn on the OCPD for the system and then measure the AC voltages line to line and line to neutral. The backup side of the system will be off until commissioning is complete. Turn the OCPD back off for now. Step 3: Turn the DC switch on and then the OCPD (AC breaker) for the system. If you are using rapid shutdown, the voltage should increase after a few seconds. If it does not, give the rapid shutdown initiation switch a clockwise turn so that it pops out.

Oh, and on the grid connection. Is that how you initially powered it up the first time? Just connected the grid and turned it on? Then set it to zero export immediately?

[@DIYSolarFarming]

Yes that's temporary, I only have the 2000 watts from the shed roof connected right now so the 12awg works for testing. The #2 is run to the shed I just need to bring it in and connect it. In your case just to check it out you can just connect the grid, no solar or battery, then there's no worry about export. Are they using Smart Meters in Okinawa?
