    Quick question

    My power center has a 15 amp breaker marked "solar". Why would there be an AC breaker for a DC system? At first I thought it might be the disconnect for the PV system but that can't be right, either.

    Newbie section/dumb question section

    Is there a specific area to post dumb newbie questions? I know most newbie questions are just uninformed, but I’m convinced that I have plenty of questions that are just dumb. I’d like to post them in an area that wouldn’t be too annoying. Thanks. [emoji23]

    Hi all, So I've traced a condensation leak in my AC to the front, door-side corner of my roof AC. It seems the gasket was torn at the factory, as I can see a tear on the gasket from the outside, and from the inside, I can feel a gap in the gasket as well. Looks like it was sealed or glued at...
