    Any electricians in the house?

    Post #43, picture one, shows the boxes the solar goes through when it was installed. It shuts down solar in the event of a power outage. What I need, is a transfer switch between service, and the split between house and shop to introduce generator power to allow the solar to produce during a...

    Any electricians in the house?

    Essentially, I have a 30A breaker on my panel that is from the solar panels. Is there a way for me to connect a generator, fire it up, and disconnect from service, and still be able to power my house? j

    Any electricians in the house?

    Now, if I could find an electrician that would take on a project like this. I've also had problems with getting someone out to relocate the well pump to the new shop, so it isn't just electricians that are too busy for me... j

    Any electricians in the house?

    What I may end up having to do is build a battery bank, charged by chargers, and go that route :eek: j

    Any electricians in the house?

    Each solar panel has it's own micro inverter. I'm too lazy to look up the panel specifications at this time, LOL! I don't need the full 400A in an emergency situation, and if we end up in a SHTF situation, I don't know I'd want to be around here anyway. I was just wondering if it would be...

    Any electricians in the house?

    So far, none of them have showed up for a consultation. I got one estimate for two generator inlets and transfer switches for $1500, but no one wants to touch a backup battery array. j

    Any electricians in the house?

    Here is what I have in mind. The generator feeds power so the solar produces during an outage. I'm thinking if I could get a transfer switch between the meter base and the panels, that could solve the generator problem. Where would I put the battery to feed both panels? Thanks for all the...

    Any electricians in the house?

    I currently have two service panels fed by my meter base. One feeds the shop with a grid tied 18.6 KW Solar array, the other feeds the house. Both have a 200A Panel. First, I'd like to install a portable generator input plug that will be able to allow the solar array to continue to produce when...

    Building a 71 Swinger 340

    I've always loved the 70/71 Swinger body, and specially love the 70 Swinger 340. I like the tail lamps on the 71 better tho. I've been on the lookout for a roller to build for the 340/727 that came out of the Duster I had. I finally found one, and the price was right ( Free ) . It's a 72 body...

    We signed the papers yesterday!

    For almost 10 years, that's all I Had. We got lucky in that the price increases came after we had everything delivered. j
