Kudos on all the effort you've put in on a now dead-end V2H system. I also admire your work with the OpenEVSE guys salvaging the JuiceBox chargers. But that's also a dead-ender. So, for a likely longer lived version, perhaps you could work with the OpenEVSE or the OpenInverter guys to make a...

Totally agree that everyone's situation is different to some extent. There are certainly people buying dedicated home batteries and V2H to play the arbitrage game or go off-grid full time but that's a small minority. Most people still buy dedicated home batteries and V2H primarily for backup...

Dedicated home batteries rarely make financial sense even before the POCO's started implementing all the non-bypass-able charges and removal of the federal incentives. Unless there is some unusually lucrative buyback program that you can access frequently, financial sense is likely a futile...

For clarity, I was referring to the Anker Solix E10.

Yeah I also have 1:1 net metering as well so batteries make no financial sense. I did some research on the E10 and there is very little info on its capability to AC couple off-grid which is no so good. However, I did find a few reports that it kinda works until the batteries are full then...

Is your existing solar system grid-tied? If so, how does it integrate? AC coupling on-grid and off-grid (i.e. solar power during grid outages)?

Just curious, when did the last HIS software update actually come out?

Nice but overly simplified concept that is unlikely to be realized on a large scale anytime soon.

Thanks for the write up. What is "performance mode"? Only true online double-conversion can provide 0ms transfer. So, does it do double-conversion? The fact that lights can flicker suggests it's not. Also, does the app work during Internet outages? If not, is there a way to...

Clean setup. Do you still have a HIS installed? If so, curious how the things work with 2 different systems installed.

FYI, at this point SigEnergy does not guarantee V2X function will work or continue to work with any existing EV's (). It's because they are leveraging a "bug" in the DC fast charging control implementation in some EV's to enable V2X. It appears some EV makers have now fixed the "bug" via OTA...

I understand the sentiment but if they couldn't make it work profitably in a higher margin product category (i.e. vehicles) then moving to a lower margin product category (i.e. battery) doesn't look like a profit maker. It looks more like a desperate move to reduce (but not stop) the losses so...

Very different. Tesla actually develops its own energy products and has a decade plus experience working with various local AHJ's that control and approve residential energy product installations. Tesla didn't start from scratch either. It also acquired Solar City early on to help it get...

That's a bad joke :cool:

That's probably a good move ... apparently Ford is killing off the existing F150 Lightning product line in a $19B write off on the EV business ... no wonder they've done next to nothing to fix the HIS ... it's not even a round off error in the bigger picture
