Solar: Mounting the Inverters
Friday, September 19, 2014
Tomorrow, Tony, our Master-Electrician-on-retainer will be here to help us do the final wiring in the house so that we can get it inspected next week before J. leaves for a conference in Kentucky on Tuesday.
So we had some prep to do before Tony gets here. Perhaps the biggest thing on the list was clearing out the space in the basement where the inverters are going. We'd been storing tools in that room, so they all had to be relocated. Then we had to run some 2x4's from floor to ceiling where they screwed into the joists and then a leftover piece of plywood from the laundry room reno is what our two SolarEdge SE6000-US inverters are mounted to.
Installation requirements are that the two inverters have to be mounted at a minimum of 4 inches apart so any heat can dissipate. As you can see in the picture, we have plenty of room so there will be a "combiner box" between the two inverters where the output wires from the inverters join together and then run to the main panel.
My back is STILL screwed up, so J. did all of this by himself tonight while I sat on the couch with the dogs and watched reruns of Renovation Realities. I would rather have been helping than dealing with this back pain. It's really starting to get old.
