Keep It up, Your are excellent at explaining the individual critical components of the entire Solar System. Well Done. Please keep making more videos

Lot of the solar coding requires on a DC setup side to have the neutral (negative)wire hooked up to the switch now. You can't wire nut it or buss bar it

Good video, still unsure if I need to have my neutral switched at the AC disconnect coming out of my inverter. It can’t hurt if I do but that’s a more expensive switch.

Thanks very much, Drew. But at 5:06 you are shown holding a solar DC disconnect box but unless I missed it, you never discuss that box in this video. Is it that perhaps due to editing it's covered in another?
