@Aminorjourney just told me the HIS supports up to 9.8kW pull from the truck. So in theory we could push 9kW to the grid during peak events.

I just asked what the max discharge rate would be under the program. If we can average 9kW, that would be a payout of 9*275 = $2475 for the year. And that covers my potential $2300 solar net metering loss. At the bonus of having power during an outage, and doing the good thing and helping with...

I keep seeing these numbers (2-3kW discharge rate per event), and wonder where the holdup is. The truck can charge at 19kW. Why can't we feed back to the grid at a higher rate than 3kW, and actually put a dent in a few house's worth of use, instead of just a single home.

Interesting. That's good to know.. Same inverter? I had inquired with Sunrun about this a little, and they stated the solar was separate from this, and with the setup they're deploying (V2X with HIS), during a power outage, the truck would power a few circuits in the house on a separate...

Trust me, we are.. This system (12kWp) was perfect for our home (I paid a $28 electric bill in March before solar outperformed usage two years ago). Then we converted from propane to geothermal, and got the Lightning. And now my "built-up" solar credit over the summer was a whopping $50, and I...

That would be another option. Miss out on net metering for a year, and end up with "free" HIS for V2H in case of power outage. Will find out more on the 12th.

Yes. Here's their full reply: Dear Solar Awardee, We appreciate your patience as we've worked to better understand how Net Metering and V2X interact currently in Massachusetts. We've come to the conclusion that currently net metering is not possible in conjunction with V2X. Because of this, we...

I was just informed that this V2X setup is not compatible with solar net metering. So I can either choose to stop net metering (and miss out on all those credits), or bow out of the V2X program.

No, wasn't charging/plugged in. I ignored the 12V increases when charging, those are normal. I use NodeRed for my automations (Started 3 years ago before HA automations got as good as they are now). Here's what it does, and if you know NodeRed, you should be able to implement the same easy from...

Hey, I noticed something change recently. I have an automation that automatically does a remote update every hour with a 10 minute randomizer in (so it's not exactly every hour). And it stops once the 12V battery hits 75% so I don't accidentally drain that. (Seems to drain about 1% per refresh...

Anyone have an install date yet? (Or gotten their system installed?) It's been quiet for a while..

The status is visible in the API. I use Home Assistant with the fordpass integration, and I can use that app to see if the truck is locked or not. But if you don't have HA, that's a steep entry just to see if the truck is locked. (Plus some automation to actively query the truck. Cause the truck...

We got our 2014 F150 Line-X'd in Hudson, and it served us well for 10 years. The current Lightning got a similar liner in Greenfield MA (Don't recall the brand, but can look it up if you're interested), so well out of the 495 loop.

In Massachusetts the energy companies (Eversource/National Grid) are doing a V2X demo. It only covers 3 vehicle models, and the Lightning with the FCSP and HIS system is one of them. They are partnering with Sunrun for installation and TMH (The Mobility House) for the software aspect. Still in...

I would love to only pay $300. I have solar (10MWh per year), and the past 3 months I've been getting a $10 credit on average every month. Just about breaking even. And in the winter I'll be paying $600-$900 a month. (Rates will be around $0.35/kWh) It depends on where you are. In the northeast...

Honestly, this should be an easy fix. I can already control my wife's zone lighting with the Home Assistant Fordpass integration. So it's already in the API.. They just need to update the app to make it visible and controllable.

That image has so many issues... I can't even read the words underneath the V8... And how does that frunk close? Why did it get halved in depth? Is that intentionally leaving the front open to air cool the V8? (That actually makes the most sense out of all the weird things on the image) And...

At least AI put the gun off-center, more in front of driver for better aiming accuracy.

I do have a sizable system for residential (SolarEdge lists it as 12.42 kWp, but it's a 4k and 6k inverter pair, so 10kW max, which on the best of days I don't get) But with the 9.6kW from the HIS, that's still under the 25 limit. I think the issue they're looking at is the fact that these...

Has anyone gotten an installation date yet? (I remember someone saying they were slated for an August install?) I have been talking with Sunrun on some questions regarding our existing solar panels. Here's the updates from that: - The HIS just works with the F150. They will create a subpanel on...
