Interesting!

My family would be more at a risk of leaving had I wasted money on a system that over produces 8 months of the year just to brag that my utility bill is near zero during a few hot months. IMNSHO

I checked out the battery and what I found weird is the lifespan is “5-10 years”. What does that mean? Eg4 power pro by contrast has a 8000 charge cycle time. That means if you charge it every day it’s lifespan is 20 years. what am I missing on the Amp Inc battery you posted? Am I reading this...

Just for clarity (I am a noobie) can you get power out of the gen input, and through your regular pv input at the same time? Is the setting gen peak shaving?

Got it. I have the same inverter and was wondering about ways to use the gen input/output. Currently my current panel array is only 6k but looking to upgrade to more panels and more batteries.

Are you AC coupling through the gen input or through the grid? What is the benefit you were looking for in AC coupling?

Very impressive!

While I did work with an installer, for the most part he just did the labor and I bought the parts.The cost of large gauge wiring in particular surprised me at how expensive it was!

That seems like a great deal!

Yeah, I agree the hot water heaters are a big savings!

Sub $1000 per 5kwh would be nice.

The panels aren’t really what I am waiting to drop, but instead the batteries. My interconnection agreement is a topic for another post. It is a saga that has been on going since last October. I agree, summer will be a different story. I will try and update this post after a couple hot months!

Not my intention, just a fat finger typing mistake!

I agree! I do want to upgrade, it just boils down to cost!

Ah! Good catch!!! I fixed it, now it is a 2900 sqft!
