Ok, some of you guessed 12v and Magnum. We have a 2800w 12v Magna-sine (made before the mexico switch). 8 SOK 12v 206a batts and 7 Victron 100/30 charge controllers. Not the most impressive system and many would consider it way to small. I got the inverter in a trade a few years back and it...

You WILL own nothing and like it. They have told you their plans long term. Also, I hope you all like eating bugs, they have also said that is your future menu. This is not a joke. THIS is what is coming.

Ditching the $1000 month car payment would open up some nice options for solar gear.

Geez All in the name of safety. Would suck to have PG and Fee shut down your cooler when it hits 104F. Sooooo glad I left that commie state years ago when it was obvious back then. I'm praying for all you that are still within enemy lines. God be with you and good luck.

Was it one of those "power outages" that didn't affect the neighbors house?

Hey Oz, Have you ran an LFP bank off-grid yet? I have used lead for many years and went to an LFP bank last year. I could never go back to lead now. The performance is just to good with LFP. You just can't beat it for daily cycling. The issue for me isn't just cost, but how much of available...

They did all who had the orders canceled a huge favor. I would send them a thank you letter.

looks good siting on top of all those battery testers

Brilliant plan really. Get everyone on board with grid storage and hype the no monthly power bill then change the rules in your favor. Wash, rinse, repeat. Same old scams.

Sorry to mention it but solar/utilities is the least of your problems there. You are about to get trapped in a socialist/communist/NWO utopia. Lets see if the mods delete this

Company not woke enough?

OP, I think you are missing the point. Its time to move. Do yourself a favor, get some land and distance from neighbors.

You are really poking the hornets nest with this one......should be an interesting thread. You need to go back in time if you really want to understand the reason we have HF or what is a better term "no transformer" inverters. Think cheap gear from China back in the old days when inverters were...

Problems many people would be grateful to have. Keep a good perspective, you are fortunate. Nothing a pallet of panels can't fix.

Schneider electric = Global home/industrial power/automation. Reliable and robust, years of industrial design/experience. A foundation. EG4 = repackaged cheaper Chinese budget DIY home power. Moving forward in a niche, but young and not an innovator but a marketer. If you have money, Schneider...

Its like a utility belt, but instead of being placed around your waist, you put it around your neck. Maybe add a millstone.

Word of warning to anyone tinkering on a well/pump; If you have the top plate with 4 bolts, DO NOT LOOSEN THEM ALL THE WAY! There is a split plate below the rubber disk that will FALL into the well. Just loosen them to relax the rubber and it will pull up. This is a common mistake that causes...

Or people like me that have been burned by cheap crap. I switched to Victron and am so glad I did after issues with cheaper gear. My next system will be ALL Victron (except batts will be SOK). Not because I'm an influencer, but because I'm off grid and it MUST work without issues. It may be...

lead acid is a dead battery chemistry. Its only a matter of time now.

So thats 171kwh of storage......my wife would get tired of me telling her to use some power....lol

Not to get to political, but as soon as they started requiring the registration of back yard chickens, I knew we where in the end game. The pattern seems to be regulate anything that allows a person to be independent from the overlords. Problem with going the rogue solar route, its hard to...

non of my inverters are jabbed....

They are pretty F'd and they don't care about us. Next up, how dare some privileged person use the sun to make power while someone else can't. You will not own the sunshine on your roof. Its pretty much here now.

Going for a grid like experience, grid tie, overbearing codes, control/monitor from the moon, etc......thats what makes solar complicated. I have charge controllers and inverters hooked to batteries. It works, its simple, you hook the red wire to the + and the black wire to the -. Not all solar...

Some people do seem to be attacking this guy with zero evidence displayed in this thread. I mean REAL evidence. I have only benefited from this guys youtube channel. He is risking his well being telling the truth about what is REALLY going on in this world using his online presence. That takes...

If it bothers them enough, put them in a shed. Problem solved. Best part is, we don't need a bunch of gov bloat to hold our hand and make us feel safe.

My first requirement for an inverter is it must be an LF. My second requirement is that the SCC is NOT in the same box.

Do they inspire freedom, justice, Independence or portray the traditional family values? Then yes, they would be illegal.

Or about $22,000 for some cells for DIY packs(not including BMS and other misc).
