A little more progress. Combiner box is mounted to the roof. Screws holding it down are inside the box, lots of Super Flex sealant in all the right places. Wiring for Trimetric battery monitor and Solar controller done. You can also see new battery box sized for 4 6 volt batteries and inverter. Inverter is not wired yet.....

Man Erick, I wish you had done this before I installed my solar! I am pretty daring but never even considered taking the interior wall off to access the wiring and used the vent pipe. I'm so impressed!

Congrats! I remember that first moment of seeing juice flowing into the batteries, and the knowing that your DIY was solid. Now, that battery bank is going to be topped off all the time. Very cool!

The combiner box I made from a Cantex Junction box from Home Depot. The mini buss bars and wire glands were sourced from Arizona Wind and Sun.

Temco brand cable lugs for the welding cable ends.
I think that's about it. If I missed anything let me know and if I remember anything else I will add it......Erick & Cyndi Prescott Valley Az. Unless otherwise indicated, Erick is posting...
