The installation started at 8am and was complete and provisioned by 4pm.
Here are some photos from the activity.




Thanks to my good friend who gave me a granite piece more than sufficient in size and thickness for the base of the PowerOcean to rest on.

Aside from having the roof repainted, I needed a canopy as recommended by EcoFlow. While the PowerOcean is IP65 rated and will survive torture, I still want to give it some protection.

The NEMA-4 combiner lockable box contains the DC and AC protection, the Acrel energy monitor, and an automatic transfer switch (ATS) connected to the PowerOcean backup port.
So there it is, a very clean install and now running in self-powered mode.
