Yeah grid down is easy to see through an inverter, you will lose your 60 HZ grid and you can just monitor and flag it.
Midnite Solar Announced their new 10kw AIO at Intersolar Today

Presumably the web/app interface will allow for alerting/notifications to be configured out of the box.
Really hoping @HighTechLab can release a video about the one soon, or any info on pricing, release date etc.

I want him to beat the breaks off it like they did with Rosie so we can see its surge capacity and limits. Maybe get a $20 RTL dongle and looks at RF to see if it interferes with HF ham radio. The vendor should do this.Really hoping @HighTechLab can release a video about the one soon, or any info on pricing, release date etc.

As discussed in post 835 :
“Midnite has a number of amateur radio license holders on their engineering staff and I suspect they are more attentive to RFI suppression issues.“
I’ll bet they’re using something better than a $20 dongle to get this part right

That's nice, I wonder if they'd share a scope of the results. I'm particularly interested in the HF bands along with 2m and 6m.As discussed in post 835 :

@SpongeboB Sinewave @Robin Gudgel Have you guys tested RF and if so do you have the data to share? Thank you!

I have checked HF and do get some birdies but we/I have not tried to improve it yet. Working on the B17 right now.
I will say that the Rosie does not "wipe out" the HF bands like some equipment does. Rosie does have lots of common - mode
filtering but I'm sure that mods will be coming to make things better. I can still operate 20 and 40 meters OK.
VHF and UHF are rarely issues and I have not had any problems with those two bands at all with Rosie.

mmmmm my wallet is not ready
Thanks for comments and input, @Cmiller and @1201 . The induction cooktop and electric oven are definitely the power hogs in the new house, but the electric water heater will be heat pump type, running in heat pump only mode. While US models all have 4500 watt elements in them, you don't have to use them. We had one in a previous home and used the high wattage "fast recovery" setting, and even the hybrid setting, only when we had a house full of guests overnight, which this house can't accommodate (by design!). Otherwise, the heat pump setting stayed well under 1000 watts. I've been watching my wife's cooking patterns, and she rarely uses more than two burners at a time, and only rarely uses the oven, so again, less than one might think. And with a heat pump dryer replacing the conventional model? Much less energy use.
Our plan is to start with about 10-12 KW and see what happens. We'll start with propane heat for the really cold months so worst case will be some load management around cooking and laundry. And I'll leave space to dramatically increase capacity via additional inverters. We shall see...

Makes sense.
Cool, I have been tempted to buy an electric cooktop and add solar to cut my gas consumption.... Not sure that my wife would be interested though, as we would likely need to keep the gas stove for winter months with less solar. LOL
I have been tempted with one of these as well! Our electric dryer hits a full 6kW! Plus with the heat pump unit you aren't adding heat to the house! (Can be nice in the winter...... not so much in the summer.)
Sounds like you have a good plan! Having a good game plan before starting, plus leaving room for expansion if needed, results in a great solar/ battery/ inverter system in the end!

I have been doing electric cook tops for a number of years now .
The induction types are great.

Induction is the only cook top I would own after using all of them. Nearly all the energy consumption goes into the pan and ingredients.

Only down side a small investment in induction cookware.

Where I am from that's our wood cookstoves( only for outdoor use) aka fireside
but yea cast iron is multipurpose
but yea cast iron is multipurposeI have pestered management about this, I know the official answer is the ODM has extended a 10yr warranty to us but I trust the Rosie to outlast any of the All In Ones personally

I did notice the pre wired Rosie with Barcelona etc do have a 10yr warranty from NAZ .I don’t know how this would be treated
Halfcrazy -I just realised this is Ryan from Midnnitesolar.
HUH?
Well I would be happy with a 5years warranty and a slightish price drop on the ONE
10 years required in California for CEC and grid tie.
