I had something like this where a guy got mad I wouldn't use the 12-2 he bought for relocating a stove and told me I didn't know what I was doing like you called me bud

Don't fall for the gridtied jew I hope you got a battery. Don't get any actual string inverter if you have any shade ever at all also

Rip nokoff

Nice

Never trust those do it yourself if you want one up there. I've pulled those out hanging a bag on it

Just turn off the main breaker if you don't want to trace it

>What is your job?
Electrician
>How long was your apprenticeship and were you able to rent a decent apartment or house during it?
4 years of night school. Solar paid better so I do that now almost exclusively
>Did you have to do any in-class learning as part of your training/apprenticeship?
Had to get certified in battery stuff, continuing education idk.
>How are the hours and how much free time do you have outside of work?
I work like 45 hours a week. I fix everything though if you were on a install slave ship youd probably be working 70hrs. 5 days 2 days
>Is your job physically demanding and is there any high risk of injury or death?
Yea I mean electricity is dangerous just turn it off. Solar in particular used to be dangerous not so much now that there's rapid shutdown shit everywhere but it's on always in the day. Heights never bothered me and I am on the roof maybe an hour or two a day at most. It's not too physically demanding but again service
>Do you have to travel on-site to location or do you generally work in your company's building?
I have a company vehicle I go off a list
>Is the salary good?
I mean for what it is yeah. It's interesting, not too intensive and while I could be making much more money doing my own business It's stable and less headaches.45/hr

4 would probably fit in the big blue wirenut if it's just one conductor

I went from smoking 2.5 packs a day to shamefully sucking robot penis. It's very convenient

The very fine mesh ones are pretty good

That's Solaredge's story. I know water can get in the space and all that but it seems pretty suspicious. I've only seen factory ends either on panels or "optimizers" explode. I've seen plenty bubble but these will literally blow up

"I noticed some squirrels playing up there sometimes"

It kinda looks like the bottom of the plate after you've made a cheese quesadilla in the microwave

Squirrelly

Gap between connectors apparently

Theres a "feel" to putting this shit together...this was left on purpose

Heres a little slideshow of some interesting stuff I've seen
