I used it nonstop the first summer I got it, I put it in the master bedroom and let the door open during the day with the temp set about as low as it could go, had no trouble keeping the bedroom in the upper 60s and living room / kitchen in the 70s. I didn't have to turn on the central air.
I...
Found a quick 2 hours to get them and the panel on the wall. That's all for now, gotta go to the HD and FFL dealer after some lunch.
( the panel is intentionally not centered 😉)
Right here is what makes it all worth it...
Saw I had a voicemail from the power company, power is out and affecting 580 customers in my area, I never even noticed.
Edit - estimated restore in 7 hours.
Wasn't getting baba notifications.
Attached is the proforma invoice.
It will be ~$2300, after the baba fees for using a CC, for 2 ASP 10kW shipped air freight, DDP...
Wow. Sorry you're going through this.
Perfect example of why I don't want anyone having remote access to my equipment, I'd be beyond pissed if I were in your shoes. I firmly believe firmware updates via USB make the most sense.
It's my opinion this remote in with a super user account and...
They must have blown the budget not having the funds to go the last mile and find a better solution for those bus bars.
Don't get me wrong, I do plenty of questionable things myself but without question I wouldn't do that. I think what really rubs me the wrong way is the message makes it appear...
Quick updates. Don't judge my TEMPORARY setup. ?
Its powering the house, cycled well pump once and didn't even notice a flicker in the lights. Flipped heat gun on and off a few times and didn't notice any flicker either.
Changed plans up a little bit...
Swapped over to the SRNE and hooked up...
Why not batteries?
Who likes the noise of a generator or trying to refuel in pouring down rain, wind, snow? Don't forget the oil changes. Don't forget the generator exhaust will get ya if not installed correctly. What generator transfers fast enough that electronics aren't affected when grid...
Testing things to failure / torturing them..
What happens to an overcharged prismatic cell hit with some lead at a high velocity? What if a flame is introduced?
Fuses, breakers, crimpers.
Destructive and what not to do videos.
Lifepo4 capacity tests at various temperatures and loads.

Updates.
I haven't forgotten about the N/G bond tests and other items mentioned a page or so ago. Work life and life hasn't let me take the house loads offline to test yet.
I'm slowly closing in on 1Mw with 0 issues.
I figured out what the root cause was of the random restarts a few weeks /...
Wow that looks miserable, fortunately it wasn't worse.
Are you sure the shunt was the root cause? Is it possible one of the particle board shelves collapsed causing a dead short and the shunt to fail?
The shunt was on the negative, correct?
Whatever the heck he wants....
I currently have ~9.3kw of panels, on a rainy dark day last month they produced less than 2kwh....
Panels are a heck of a lot cheaper than batteries....
Someday I'll have 30+kw of panels and 75+kwh of batteries... Why because I can, because I won't have to worry...
