[QUOTE="wytco0, post: 540583, member: 35832"] My DIY ground mounted system is nearing completion but I am struggling with one last bit. The panels are split across 2 systems one set of panels have micro inverters and will cabled via SWA into the CU, the other part will be DC connected to a separate inverter in the house using 6mm Solar cable. My plan is to install a waterproof cabinet near the panels where the ducting carrying the solar cable and the SWA are located. Although I have isolators on all cables at the house end I will also install isolators in the cabinet to enable the cables to be de-energised for any upgrades or maintenance. The problem I have is I am not sure what to use for the cabinet or how to mount it, I was planning to bolt it to a post set in concrete but the cabinets I have seen all seem to be designed for wall mounting or for sitting on a concrete pad. Has anyone done anything similar or have any ideas for a cheapish solution? TIA [/QUOTE]
