I think I have my terminology wrong. I believe it is frequency shift. Hybrid battery inverters are able to frequency shift their signal when offgrid and the battery is full. AC coupled Solar inverters, by code, see the frequency shift and lower their output accordingly. It is basically a way...

No this would be extremely dangerous without a hybrid inverter and batteries that is made to manage that and can phase shift your solar to a safe condition if necessary.

As an owner of an HIS system, I can tell you it does work, but it is not the best system going forward. It is also very difficult to source now. If you want that functionality, there are starting to be many other options. Many of the major home battery systems now have a generator option that...

I definitely think you are on the right track. I think the best system for people right now is a smaller home battery (15-20 kWh), a small solar system (5+ kW), a bi-directional charger for the EV, and a small generator to have for emergency. Right now almost everyone is pushed to have a large...

Thanks. That is what I was saying in that a neutral transfer switch with the truck is extremely unsafe because it makes all your house completly un-grounded. Now with the alternate that most people are doing (standard generator input with ground wire disconnected) there is a risk still. It is...

I installed it along with my master electrician buddy. I have the HIS system working just fine with the truck. I made a few attempts to contact LG but gave up. Since then I discovered Sigenergy and switched to that so I have no real plans to get the LG battery going. In fact I just want it out...

I was not successful with mine, but there are a few who have successfully integrated it into the HIS system. I had some initial issues (not even sure exactly what) and then despite being off, it self drained. I have not jump started it. LG support is not great, but that might be better under...

The system will work great with your existing solaredge inverters. That is exactly my setup now. While I have not seen anything written, there are multiple companies that specifically call out the Lightning. The recent Electrek video (linked in post 27) indicates they heard it from Ford...

Thank you, that worked. Yes it is pretty sparse. I will compare the Delta dashboard to the Sigenergy one below:

Great Setup! I am really impressed by the Franklin system

I am trying to login, but it is not working. I am typing in the full serial number, as well as the pin I use to login to M professional. Says it is invalid.

So it is not technically DIY. It does require a certified installer. My friend is a master electrician and we both went through the courses. it is extremely simple for people with good electrical knowledge and i did DIY the installation but my friend did check everything and we commissioned...

I don’t have the V2X yet but I have used the generator input at 7kW to charge the point guard batteries. I am hoping to get the V2X in the next couple of weeks. I should be able to do at least 19kW from the truck but I will probably set the limit to 9.6 to match the HIS system and not bring on...

The Bak X4S easily rolls up with minimal effort, but does not block your rear window view like a trifold. It does not impede any of the bed space either. I find it to be the perfect solution.

Yes Enphase and Sigenergy are doing the ISO CC1 handshake to start the session over DC only for both charge and discharge. Ford and GM use the Delta inverter which obviously does not follow any standards based design. Tesla cybertruck is only one using AC AFAIK.

So I would say that it is not a bug. Pointguard is following the ISO standard, and luckily so is Ford. You are correct that the difference in Tesla is that they have not come out to publicly support this, and certainly are not working with PointGuard in any fashion. Yes there is absolutely a...

I can try and help find you an installer if you want me to. I have direct contacts with Sigenergy. I can also ask Sunrgy who is the distributor I purchase from.

As an owner, I received an email stating that the functionality is now turned on globally. It is in the version 3.1 app, which goes active for North America on Sunday the 10th. The hardware shows in stock now at distributors.

The Sigenergy (Pointguard) V2X system is now a real product on the market. Great video talking about it as well as showing a demo.

I have a few questions and notes: How many hours can a small generator like this actually run at full output (from a maintenance standpoint)? Can your charging hack work with DC charging? It would take about a 40kW or higher generator to basically run the truck indefinitely, but AC charging...
