  1. Working Pro Power using Generator Lockout Kit to Feed the Whole Panel

    Yes that is what with a rotary switch.
  2. My Goal: to never pay for charging (Solar) -- my automation process

    Yes , but numbers are wrong. 9.6 kw from HIS and 7.2 kw and 2.4 kw (separate circuits) from the PPO for total of 19.2 kw from the Lightning at any time.
  3. Class Action Lawsuit - Home Integration System

    Thanks, going to try it.
  4. My Goal: to never pay for charging (Solar) -- my automation process

    So we also have a Chevy BOLT EUV which we use unless we want to go on a road trip. I use about 20% of the battery at night from the PPO, but I can’t get my HIS to work. If I could make that work, I could power my entire home between the two systems. 9.6 kw from PPO, and 9.6 kw from the HIS. I...
  5. My Goal: to never pay for charging (Solar) -- my automation process

    Nice, I need the automation as now I manually put my excess solar (Emporia EVSE) in my Lightning or Bolt EUV, and then use the Lightning to run the house from about 4 PM till excess solar starts producing again the next day.
  6. Class Action Lawsuit - Home Integration System

    My HIS was delivered on 11/4/24, and I am a Master Electrician, so I installed it myself with the final installation on 12/10/24, and can get the truck to deliver 377 VDC to the inverter, but it stops there, with no conversion to to 240 VAC, and shuts off shortly after. I have made multiple...
  7. FranklinWH batteries to Lightning?

    To use the PPO on the truck to power the house you have to switch the neutral or you will get a ground fault on the truck.
  8. Ford Pass App Charge Station Pro Amp Adjustment Setting Useless

    I am looking for an EV Charger that uses my excess solar in real time to charge my EV. The Enphase IQ does it in 25% increments adjusted every 15 minutes, but I want something more responsive, and with the FordPass App if it worked I could tweak it to be close most if the time. Ford told me the...

  10. Ford Pass App Charge Station Pro Amp Adjustment Setting Useless

    Yes through the app it has a slider bar to change amps, but it does not work. Photos attached. Energy tab at bottom, then charge station, then settings, then edit max charge current.
  11. Ford Pass App Charge Station Pro Amp Adjustment Setting Useless

    I asked Ford's EV Charging department why they have a setting in the Ford Pass App that lets you adjust the Charge Station Pro amp draw from 6 amps to the maximum you have allowed per your circuit installation, which in my case is 80 amps, as I installed it on a 100-amp circuit. They said the...
  12. Lightning as a battery backup split loads

    That’s an idea, thanks. What smart panel are you suggesting would work?
  13. Lightning as a battery backup split loads

    I am attempting a similar system. I currently can run my home most of the night with the PPO only, but at times I need additional power. I am thinking of hooking up my 5 ton HVAC to a newly installed HIS and a separate panel and then I could run everything else off the PPO. My understanding is...
  14. PPO & HIS Simultaneous Use

    Thanks. I need a little more out of the truck than the 9.6 kW from the PPO, and getting 9.6 kW from the HIS would allow me to store all my excess solar and run my home with my stored solar at night. I told my Ford salesman that I was really buying a battery, that just happens to have a truck...
