...wall).
I have heard Qmerit is a good installer for the the FCSP.
As others have mentioned you can get 30A 240V from the bed outlet - the SunRun HIS install is pricey and seems to be buggy, and only gives you an extra 10A 240V. So I do not think it is worth the cost even if you had the ER...
I'm digging through the documentation of the HIS/Delta BDI, and as far as I can tell, this whole setup should be much simpler than SunRun has decided to make it.
The "RS-485" connection looks a lot like a 2-wire genset remote start/stop relay control common on almost all inverters with an...
...be a no-go if just the Pro-power onboard? I assume a total home back-up AC would be no problem?
3. Anticipated cost for some of these options?
I am debating getting the ford-charger pro off ebay but the reviews on the Sunrun overall seem terrible. Even a thread labeled "class action...
I run my home from solar. The grid is how I charge my solar batteries if my solar batteries get low because of cloudy days and in that instance If the grid is down I use a 60 amp manual reliance transfer switch that let's my truck charge my solar batteries. Since my solar battery charger sees my...
...over $10K and really uglied up my house with equipment to implement. They also disconnected a small generator system I had working because Sunrun said I couldn't keep it if we installed the HIS. So now I'm left with no generator and the HIS system which doesn't work, and a bunch of useless...
The HIS powers a 9.6 KW inverter, so 40A at 240V. ProPower onboard provides 30A (7.2 KW). Not a dramatic difference, certainly not $10K worth.
We lost power Monday night. I powered my 100A backup panel with ProPower. With a deep freeze, 2 fridges, lights, internet & TV, I was barely drawing 1.5...
Sir you're confused. Your 100A capacity transfer switch is irrelevant. The HIS can provide a maximum rate of 9.6kWH (40 amp) from the truck. The Pro Power onboard 240v outlet in the bed is 7.2kWh (30 Amp). You can supplement that using the 120v frunk outlets and some extension cords to...
You are, of course, correct.
There are two questions, however: "How much power does your house typically draw?" and "How much power do you need in an emergency?" For me, absolute worst case, the highest draw I've ever seen was about 33 amps. We are normally using less than half that, and in...
...as much power out of the truck using that method. What is the largest 240V plug amperage, 20A? 30A? Whichever it is, it isn't anywhere close to the 100A rating of the Sunrun gateway. My system is set up to power a 100A subpanel inside my house which would likely overload the pro power...
Please add me to the class action. I spent over $10K for this system and it has never worked. I've been trying to get Ford and Sunrun to fix it or refund my money and repair my house for nearly two years and they just tell me they are working on it. The system has only successfully...
...first produced. There may have been a brief period of time in early 2024 when they were on backorder as existing stock was transferred from SunRun to Ford as part of the transition to Qmerit, but in general if you were owed a Charge Station Pro you should have gotten it promptly after you...
Those sunrun stories were terrible. Those guys come by my house all the time asking if I want solar and say I have their car (the Lightning). I say "not interested, get off my property."
...a softward fix. I bought my truck used and it didn't come with a wall mount charger. I have been waiting on a bi-directional charger other that the one what Sunrun offers. Every year since 2022, different companies say they will have their charger ready by the follow year. Still hasn't happened.
...I do not recommend purchasing this system yet, until all issues are resolved. I do know they are being worked on. I will be doing full posts on some alternate solutions as well.
I will find out if/where this system could be purchased instead of Sunrun. I will have to see if that is possible.
How did you acquire the system? When I checked, it appears I can only buy it from SunRun and they require installation. I was quoted 13k, which I think is ridiculous.
...that the V2X could work without a battery in the stack. I'm not sure the use case for that though. It would work just like the current Ford/Sunrun system (although the 0ms cutover might be possible if the EV was connected and active).
Eventually I plan on having 2 inverters. One with...
I'm using the automatic transfer switch below. So all we have to do is go out to the garage and turn PPOB on/off. I was getting a ground fault even though I believe my transfer switch lifts the neutral so I just disconnected the truck's ground from my transfer switch. I know the risks and am...
...and it's worked for me the 2 times the power has went out, but. . . I really want load shifting and I'm becoming increasingly concerned that SunRun alone is not going to be able to meet my needs as currently I can install my own batteries / powerwalls either (since they say they don't know...
