Installing a Rapid Shutdown (RSD) for My Victron Inverters & Solar Panels

In the last video (https://youtu.be/B3I5QhVkyCc) we researched adding an Rapid Shutdown button to the Victron system and I thought we had it all figured out till the very end. There was one scenario that I discovered which would prevent the emergency shutdown from working completely.

In this video I'll show you what the problem is and how I plan on fixing it. We'll also go through and install some Tigo TS4-A-F modules and see if they work and stop PV power from coming into the house when the Emergency Shutdown button is pressed.

I wana thank Pablo from Proinso (https://www.proinso.net/) who put me in contact with Mike at Tigo.
I also want to thank Mike from Tigo (https://www.tigoenergy.com/) for sending me the clips for my TS4-A-F modules.

Update: Friday was a beautiful day (near 60 in February!) so I looked at putting the modules on the barn roof panels. It was actually much easier than I thought! Now all my panels can be controlled by the emergency shutdown button!
