You keep going back to the Generac system, which is great for those who want that, but it not (on the surface) compatible with the original topic. The Generac transfer switch does not work with Hybrid inverter systems that have an automation transfer switch with generator input. The question...
Before you go buying any adapters, you need to see which charging station Ford is even going to provide. You are not going to have a choice in the matter. Once you get the station, then you can determine the appropriate NACS adapter.
It’s important to note that the chargeverter will only work with 48v battery systems like sol ark and eg4. That is not an option for Franklin or Sigenergy.
for the systems it works with though it is a nice option with the benefit of good isolation.
So its being reported with pictures that Google Maps using Carplay now integrates the turn by turn into the driver display. The only catch is it doesn't seem to work for everybody (including myself).
Most people are reporting this after updating to one of the most recent Google Maps version on...
Do NOT do this! The Pro-power is a one way transfer. It cannot absorb power.
Your other idea of trying to have a charger on the truck is terrible as well. It is going to try and pull a steady amount of power no matter what the rest of your system is doing. The moment you hit your charge...
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...
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...
