Well said, Butch. FWIW, if you are not comfortable working with voltages over 240, then don't play with large arrarys.

[Jest Waitn]

Ok yes you are the king of random statements. You claimed that the advantage is that the can have less loss due to D.C. Runs. I corrected your inaccurate statement that it is not the D.C. But the high voltage that makes it have less lose.


it doesn't matter if you already told someone or are arrfrade of D.C., facts are facts

you are the king of not paying attention (context). you & a couple more have hijacked this thread and made it about you. it's not about you. and the veteran members and moderators have stopped posting here after you hijacked it. do you do this to everyone?

[Jest Waitn]

Why is 430 or 600 for that matter D.C. Too dangerous but 480 AC isn't? Maybe with a string inverter without ground fault and arc fault protection but any that is approved for US installs now will have those features .

you can't let go of high voltage dc.

You are afraid of what you don't understand.... get over it. These are rules of physics you can't get around them.

We have given up on the OP who can't seem to accept answers given already.

and i already told someone that suggested this that i am not interested in long dc runs. too dangerous. more context added.

Just take that "someones" suggestions and file them in the round file. Sure, if you cut corners, skimp on safe gear, use AC rated instead of DC listed gear, you will have a problem. Just use the right tools for the job, But if you can't do that, or won't, you are stuck. I can give you sound technical advice, but apparently "someone" knows a hell of a lot more than me.

As Butch states it doesn't matter if the voltage is AC or DC once you get above 50 it becomes dangerous.

I have seen the result of someone having contact with 115V AC and know that they could have been killed but got lucky. I have also seen what a 480volt AC arc flash do to equipment and people. That type of flash can result in body parts being burnt to a crisp.

AC is not safer than DC. People who come in contact with either can be killed if they are not careful.

as of last week the system passed inspection. the new net metering meter will be installed after the holiday!

[Jest Waitn]

the 3kw system is now operational after the power company installed the net metering meter.

thanks to all for the help.

[Jest Waitn]

i finished the final portion of the system per FPL guidelines in August 2018 and everything has been operating nicely with no problems!
