John (and other Wrenches), I read with great interest this post about Sunny Island breaker size. We are about to install a large semi-off grid system for a wealthy and eccentric customer. The system has 17kW of PV, and four SI5048 inverter/chargers, along with an

HI Howie, I've seen someone use a single 4/0 fine stranded cable with a regular lug on the end of it. they then cut the top of the hole out to make in a sense a U shape. Each side of the U fit into each side of the 2 hole barrel connector on the SI. Super slick iI thought. I can send you a pic

Hi Ryan, Does that mean that they have changed the internal SI lugs to handle 2/0, so they now they only require 1 conductor on the positive and negative sides? Or are the 2/0 lugs in the epanel? Howie -- Howie Michaelson NABCEP Certified Solar PV Installer™ Catamount Solar, LLC Renewable Ener

Hi it has been more than a year since I wired up a Sunny Island 5048 system and I'm trying to determine lug size for the DC conductors. My memory is that the maxiumm wire size was (2) #1 conductors each for positive and negative. Looking in the most recent SI manual states "The Sunny Island has a
