    EG4 Mini-split kinked one of the copper line sets

    Clouds suck... Part 2

    Yep, now they're right on the forecast 4 days out 1% of the time, the same success rate as next day forecasts used to be years ago.

    Clouds suck... Part 2

    OTOH I do better in the winter on cloudy days then when it's sunny. Panels being almost flat (4/12 roof) and low shading from the south does that.

    Extending CT's

    The new "My Sol-Ark" App and Migration to AWS is happening very soon.

    Mine is showing garbage data. 11kW on the main display, yet each of the 3 strings is showing just under 5kW, with 6kW going to a fully charged battery.

    The new "My Sol-Ark" App and Migration to AWS is happening very soon.

    EG4 6000XP - 3 phase?

    How is the 6000 making 3 phase from it's native split phase? Is each unit using both half's in parallel (so output is same as 6500) or is each half of wach unit making it's own phase (so unit A is making phase 1&2, B is 2&3, C is 3&1)?

    Excess solar for EV charging - how to automate?

    Great, until clouds roll in that weren't expected.

    Who gets free energy from the grid (or even paid to consume)?

    The utilities try to screw the consumer whenever they can. We rearrange our loads in response.

    EG4 18KPV - What not to do in parallel

    It should be relatively simple to check what the voltage is set to for output and if any of the outputs are more than 120% then shut it down.
