this man is a genius! =)
Think those wires should be terminated with O ring or spade connectors. Bare wire is too easily dislodged by vibrations.
THIS SHOULD BE ENTITLED WHAT NOT TO DO.

15 amps max but using a 40 amp fuse, running mc cable outside instead of seal-tite and didn’t even put a lock nut on the mc connector. This dudes house is gonna burn down!

Solid core wire on the DC side. Can you say voltage deeerrrrrr-op.
you should number your vids so we can follow.
Hi My friend
I am Buying a Tristar charger controller 60amp, I will like to see how to conect the temperature sensor, voltage sensor and the ground.
I live in a 6 floor building, you thing is posible to use the ground in my breaker panel of my apartment like my ground??
Thanks
that thing got fucked up after 1 hour use
@abcdefgh3499 Why don’t you put up a better one?
Why the hell would u use such a large fuse for a small system i dont mean to sound like a jerk but using a large fuse would offer little protection.
Wow I hope no one follows this video.
You want to do it right instead? Search for the book Solar Basics by Neil Kaminar
@hermancando no matter how good you are in electrical, one point you should put it in your mind is a “safety handling”, just be very careful in handling all those dangerous wiring. it just simply a friendly reminder….
dude mabey would be good idea to hook up the ground first————–you are the worst electrician ive ever seen ———man you suck
@Hen113 I agree Hen I really love the DIY guys that say I’m running my 4000 sq. ft house on one solar panel I built myself and yada, yada yada, and then they backfeed through an outlet! Schmucks like this give real solar a bad rap !!
jeeze expertvillage again they suck but to rahmanron Green is NEVER hot in DC red is hot black is ground … in AC black is hot white is neutral green is ground … dont know what planet your from…
expertvillage <————NOT
“Green is always ground” not true. A lot of times they use green as positive.
what side should the panel have a fuse on positive or negative ?????
hmmmmmm…Armored cable being used outside???? Might want to check the UL listing on that one chief. And the NEC….
well from what i seen of what this guys work you further ahead of the game than he is.
@juggernautxtr my bad, that would be 41 amps at 12 volts
obviously that doesn’t apply here. Depends what total volts/amps he’s got running from the array. No idea..
