Hi All,<br>
I have a potential client who currently has an EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra<br>
<<a href="https://www.ecoflow.com/us/delta-pro-ultra" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ecoflow.com/us/delta-pro-ultra</a>> inverter installed in his<br>
house for battery backup. He wants to install roof-mounted PV. I don't see<br>
how to connect PV into the Inverter/Charger using EMT for code compliance.<br>
Has anyone done something similar? Can anyone think of a code-compliant<br>
method to bring PV into this setup?<br>
<br>

Does anyone know where the spark generator is on a Peerless gas range? <br>
Tech support can sell us a new one, but can't tell me where the unit may <br>
be found on the stove.<br>
<br>
It may not need a new one. The symptoms are a bit confusing. The <br>
sparkers work well on all burners until the oven is used. After that <br>
they won't work for about 2 days. Then they start working again until <br>
the oven is used again.<br>
<br>
The situation warrants investigation before investing in a new spark <br>
generator.<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
<br>
