<p>If you look at the graphics on the website, they're really
showing temporary mounted PV. This is not designed to be
hardwired for an NEC approved installation. It's like a portable
generator. I'd get the guy a couple of modules on folding racks,
and make up a 50 ft portable cable so he can set the modules in
the sun to charge if its a long outage. I've done a few of these
for folks, using like the little Jackery systems. Ryobi,
Milwaukee, etc make "battery generators"; same concept: you're
not going to hardwire them in to anything. Its got to be portable
to stay compliant. </p>
<p>If he wants the PV mounted to the roof, you're either throwing
code out the door, or he needs a different inverter setup. </p>

What is the input voltage requirement for this PV module to Eco
flow unit? It may be a low-voltage input which may not require any
metal conduit at all?

<div>I can't see any way to do this. Some sort of metal

required by 690.31(D)(1) and I dont think the PVHCS

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"
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">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>

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>
