    Here is a picture of the 5 30 amp battery disconnects. The two 60 amp inverter disconnects will be placed at the end of the PW's based on how the cable is running.

    ok so now i'm seeing you in a mad scientist lab coat at halloween flipping blade disconnects .. "it's alive!!"

    seriously though the relative complexity of your system is intriguing .. can't wait for photos of all final components

    Huh. Is it a CA thing to have a separate blade disconnects for each Powerwall? We have only one for our three Powerwalls here in MA.

    the extent of them seem to be a county requirement in some areas .. the ridiculousness of some of them has become the butt of jokes on some threads
    my specific CA county system completed Dec 2020 required only one giant blade disconnect outside for whole system (individual breakers inside garage in TEG were apparently adequate for each powerwall)

    I wonder if they're going to mess with H2o and put the blade disconnects in a different order than his Powerwalls.


    Like his PWs are going to go on the wall like this: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

    But they could put his blade disconnects like
    [5]
    [4]
    [3]
    [1]
    [2]

    Yeah, that is bad. That is something the owner should do after the construction people leave. And post on YouTube:)

    Seems to be very county specific, at least right now here in CA. I also only have 1 blade disconnect, but I also only have 2 powerwalls. Perhaps the requirements change with 3 or more here? I dont know but may find out at some point as I might add another one at some point.

    Was just able to log into the first TEG I hard wired. Fun about to begin. Will see if they can finish today. They worked 11 hours tuesday, and 12 hours yesterday. Solar panel guys are here to put in new inverter and change things around. BUSY!!

    Well, they are done for a first pass. Batteries working. Now need to learn how to use. See if anything is impacted.
