We bought an emporia to use with our solar charger. It didn't work in that situation, but that was likely a problem with the inverter, not the Emporia. I really liked the emporia, it's functionality, the app with the charts and such. Emporia was pretty good to work with too.. good customer...

Ahhh, too late for us, the ground mount lets us adjust the angle vertically to adjust for summer/winter sun angle.. but can’t change them to east west….

46 panels, yikes, you must have a huge roof! We went with this stand alone system because it was half the price of expanding our roof top solar. We didn't have any room left so we would have had to swap out our old 175W panels for higher power panels, new power optimizers, and a new inverter...

Thanks for posting this, I didn't realize this technology was available.. at least we'll have other options if Ford doesn't get reasonable with their pricing.

Please report back, I'll be very interested to know how things work. Your Tesla wall charger must be Gen 1? Gen 2 has a web interface app where you can adjust the charge rate. The problems we were having were something to do with the inverter. It would work fine so long as the solar input...

Just wanted to give an update on this project in case anyone out there is considering such an endeavor. We were never able to get the Emporia charger to work with the solar inverter. The charging watts would fluctuate wildly, and eventually the charger would shut down with an overcurrent...

Actually, this is really upsetting to me. I won’t pay $800/yr, and I think it is grossly unethical for them to hike the cost that much. Frankly, I probably would not have bought the truck if I knew that there would be an $800/yr cost to use one of the key features. The Lightning may not be...

Can you enlighten me/elaborate some? .. When i talked to Emporia they said the charger would work with the Lightning and didn't mention anything about this protocol

It was supposed to be available Q2 this year, but apparently licensing issues are delaying the product release to 2024.. but my plan is to wait for this: https://www.emporiaenergy.com/how-the-emporia-v2x-charger-works. I don't know if it will hold, but the price point they've advertised is...

Don’t mean to hijack this thread, but wondering if this information is a clue to the troubles we are having charging the truck with an Emporia charger plugged into a 14-50 NEMA that is powered by a 240v Hybrid solar inverter. This is an off grid solar eV charging station we built powered by 10...

We had this problem. Dealer said it was a programming issue and they were waiting for an update from Ford. But the problem seems to have disappeared with the latest ford pass update. We had both a solid blue screen but more often it was a trapezoidal blue area where the front camera view should...

I'll keep my DIY 14K system, thank you very much :-). Even on a completely overcast, rainy day, it has take the batteries from 20% up to 40%...

Ahhh, that is pretty cool. When I first looked at it and just looked at the picture, I thought it was some kind of toy or gizmo... I wonder how much they will cost... $$$$

More than we planned, we were hoping for 10k, but I think it was closer to 14k when we added up all the receipts including all the misc supplies I.e. pvc, glue, screws, and such. We hadn’t planned on having to buy a charger not realizing that there was no way to throttle the ford 14-50 nema...

I couldn’t find the 3d carbon fiber for the charge door either. I ended up cutting some flat carbon fiber stickers on my laser….

Would be way more efficient-- I imagine we will see this capability one day. I don't know enough about the technology to know if it would be possible with some kind of new chargers that works with existing EV's, or if it would require a new generation of EV's..

We don't actually know, we won't have peak conditions for quite a while. The panels are BlueSun 460W Half-Cell Bifacial Solar Panel (Silver) | Up to 575W with Bifacial Gain. We will be putting white rock down below the panels to maximize the Bifacial production, but until we have the rock down...

Of course we are in the midst of a endless series of weather systems, giving little solar power. But, we have enough today before the next system hits to actually add some miles to the truck! We did have to add an Emporia charger so we could reduces the draw below 30Amps. The ford charger...

Just in case someone else might unknowingly be in the same situation. I thought I purchased the warranty a couple of weeks ago, but it looks like it never processed. I guess the website isn't working to make the purchase online. I was prowling in the forum last night and noticed a comment...

Anyone experience what appears to be a camera failure? Getting this blue triangle rather than an image. Tried cleaning windshield and moved to shady support in case it was something to do with the sun. Didn't make any difference. See photo below..
