I see you do alot of fast charging. Does this save you money in the long run. I am a new owner and only have fast charged once and it seemed very pricey. Most places around here are charging .40 - .50 KWh. According to my calculations its pretty much a wash compared to my Ram 1500 I had before...

I have soft starts for both my units (4 ton and 2 ton). I went with a way cheaper option I found on amazon. I read some reviews on other sites and these get good reviews. They don't give you all the bells and whistles the microair but it does what it is suppose to do...

Funny enough my next two will be floor mats (I have messy young kids) and adaptive cruise control.

I did it all myself with the help of a friend who is a master electrician. He took care of the transfer switch and 200 amp disconnect from the meter that we had to add. Everything else I did on my own. However, any master electrician should be able to handle this. After I watched my friend do it...

Yes it is. If you get some and can have them indoors I recommend the eg4 indoor battery. It’s 14.3kwh. They have a weatherproof outdoor version as well but it’s overkill if you have it in the house or in a garage.

Awesome thanks! And I have a 2023 so I should be good to go. I first need to install ACC ;)

Just curious if anyone here has a Pro or XLT, added ACC and can confirm SunnyPilot of BluePilot work?

We got hit with snow here in North Texas. About 5 inches so far which is not common at all. My panels were covered just like yours but I still pulled in 14KWh's today. Not great but considering it was really cloudy and this was all from the backside of my panels and reflective light I will say...

Same with me. I just got my truck and this integration going. I pay more attention to the automation I have built with the Emporia Vue and EVSE along with Solar Assistant. Right now I am refining how I am automating the EVSE to charge my truck based off of my House battey SOC and calculating the...

Where is the navigation bits coming from?

Signaturesolar.com almost always has a 370-400w bi-facial panel on sale for around that price. Just saw this one: https://signaturesolar.com/runergy-400w-bifacial-solar-panel-black-up-to-500w-with-bifacial-gain/ Edit: I will say I am super lucky. I live about an hour drive from this company so...

This one is nice as well. Mind sharing? Or was this one already posted earlier?

If you have Home Assistant and want my automation code shoot me a message. Should be fairly simple if you have a inverter that is capable of MQTT

Very nice. I installed it last night and got it working. Would you mind sharing your dashboard?

LifPo4 batteries used for solar work way differently then say our EV's. When we are charging (unless you never do Fast charge) and discharging its happening at a way lower rate then with a EV. If I discharge my 50+ KWH batteries its done over a 24 hour period and that is worse case scenario...

One idea that comes to mind. I could automate if fordpass_ignitionStatus OFF for 5 minutes then lock the doors if they are currently unlocked. I could also setup reminders to schedule service at certain intervals. Although this may already happen with the app (I have only had the truck for a...

Well I got annoyed and researched more and I am now able to get Fordpass integrated into Home Assistant. It is experimental and could break at anytime since Ford has been making major API breaking changes lately. This should be interesting:

No I haven't tried yet. I did find a Integration but they say Ford made some api changes that make it difficult. Same thing goes for the Emporia Vue, then integration there is broken as well. If I get some time I may look at the OpenSource code and the Ford API and see if I can figure it out. If...

The big system was a new install and I don't have any micro inverters on it. My panels are on ground mounts out in the field (250ft away...ran 8 guage wires to minimize voltage drop). No trees in the area so no shading. And I have 3 PV strings and matching panels. I do have optimizers on my...

The 18kpv has been awesome for me. Rock solid since September. I haven't had to reboot it once. Setting it up does take a bit of learning. The settings were way different then the smaller inverter I have. I honestly am not an expert but I keep hearing panels and batteries are going to sky...
