The MS2812 is quite a bit heavier, so wrestling it in place is the hardest part.
I also added solar and upgraded to Battleborn LiFePo batteries, and Magnum said the 2/0 cables were fine because it's only ~2' run and I'm not using the full potential of the inverter. I will upgrade the cables to 4/0 when I rewire to add a cutoff switch and Vitron BMS.

Helpful info. Thank you. The 30 minute swap sounds wonderful. Correct to assume the MS2812 fit in the same spot and had same connections as ME2012? Even firefly system all worked fine by just disconnecting and reconnecting inverter wiring?
