shared ground/bond wire in conduit?

3/4 inch emt will also be used, in a 4x4 box with a single outlet adapter, some might get 2 down the road. With the panel in the middle I am looking at 3-4 normal 120v outlets and a single 240 one all in the same conduit. Each side will get “4” circuit breakers in the end, 2 120v and a 2 pole 20A for the ev charging. This is one direction, the other direction is a mirror copy with its own 4 circuits. Google says I can have upto 12 10awg conductors in the 3/4 inch depending on insulation type. I am counting 9-10 wires at most.

For wiring, I have yet to decide on how to do thing. Split the tab so top of the outlet is 1 circuit and the bottom is circuit 2 having a common neutral. The other option is like my kitchen outlet, 1,2,3,4 were 1 and 3 are together with a neutral and 2,4 are another circuit with its own separate neutral not tied into 1 and 3. I do know if I do the split outlet, would need a 2 pole breaker.

With this being a single conduit from panel to end outlet, can I run a single ground/bond? Its all going to be 10awg in the end.

what I belive eq is missing that prevents me from completly moving over

I have been using eq now for about 8 months. If been fine with the occasional app hiccup that just needed a 2nd try to work. no 3rd, 4th and beyond.

The primary reason for not fully moving over is cash transactions. I get cash now and then, would like to deposit it. The card is not a interact debit card from my understanding.

Overdraft, while I rarely use mine now, its more of a miscalculation for available funds for that month and the overdraft covers it.

With pcfinancial being acquired by eq, who knows what this brings, maybe we will see other offerings like a LOC, loans down the road.

if I add more money per payment, does my interest stay the same?

as an example

every 2 weeks $1000 comes out. $750 principle and $250 interest. If I make it $1050, does it go $800 principle and $250 interest?

want solar, trying to come up with a plan to gell the contractors. Both solar and electrical.

Its in the plan to add solar to my house. On top of new electrical service I am wondering about disconnects and such.

I will be getting the pro's but it will be a mix of electricians and solar guys in the end.

Disconnects, the inverter I am looking at has a pv disconnect already in the unit. I al guessing this will work? its an EG4 18kPV hybrid inverter that has my attention at the moment

I also understand that if power goes off the utility might have to disconnect me from the grid to do the work. I am also looking at installing a meter with 8 spaces for breakers and lugs to feed a panel down the line, that will have the main disconnect outside at the meter.

My very rough idea is install the unit above, feed a 200A panel in the house. 100A from this panel to the inverter that feeds a 100A panel for the must have loads. I will also get or eventually get some batteries to supply power during an outage but this unit also has a generator hookup.

Balcony solar panels (plug-in solar) are small-scale, DIY-installed PV systems designed for apartments, using microinverters to connect directly to standard 120-volt outlets to offset electricity bills. They typically range from 200–1,600 watts, with 800W systems covering 15-25% of apartment energy needs, costing $600–$1,500 with a 3–6 year payback.

Doesnt need to be just apartments. A home owner could do a setup at home with a few panels.

While we are at is as well, wonder how many towns have vacant lots that a solar setup would work? there is usually a pole or something to tie into.

Talking to people outside the bank, I was in the understanding to increase payment amount per withdraw I need to wait for my anniversary date of the mortgage. According to all of them I can increase the amount any time, its the lump sum that can only do once a year.

My paperwork is locked away in a safety lock box. Need to make a trip to go get it and timing is never on my side. I never really thought about doing this as I wanted to get all my debt paid off before I even consider increasing the payments.
