Please post any questions or comments, and I will update the main post with more details or clarification.

I remember watching the live reveal for the F150 lightning back in 2021 and thinking that is a cool truck. Maybe someday. Then the moment came where they showed the truck powering your house, and I was sold. The Ford system that was released worked for me, but did not have the response or...

I am going to write up a completely new thread with all the info included here and a lot more on the V2X. Some of the write up and comments are now outdated in this one.

The white box on the wall is their load hub which is their 200A automatic transfer switch. The inverters can work on-grid only without it, but the load hub is required for off grid operation. It is service entrance rated, so it can go between your meter and main panel for whole home backup...

I tried and tried to make the 2 systems work togther. The HIS usually tripped out after the truck started to push power. One time the 2 inverters would fight each other switching between charging/discharging every 1-2 seconds. I then tried to use the HIS through the Signergy generator input...

The grid input (for DC charging) is capped at 11.4kW no matter how many inverters you have. That 25kW in the stack limit still will exist too. The main reason I have 2 inverters is for more grid export. The 2 systems are synchronized though. It will charge and discharge the stacks at...

Hopefully I can test it this weekend. It’s all installed. The wall bracket is the last remnant of the ford/Sunrun system.

Once they were installed, the system picked up the extra equipment automatically. They sort of work as one unit. I have a little issue with self consumption mode right now, but I will see if charging everything overnight fixes that. I haven't tried V2X yet, but was able to charge the truck for...

You probably don't want to know that I bought the replacement on Ford parts for $30 before their supply ran short and they jacked the price. I am glad it will be a simple fix though, and that is the reason for your issue.

Here is the post about it where you can find the model numbers of the bad and good replacement parts. Its easy to check on top of the 12V battery. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/csp-23b70-certain-2022-23-f-150-lightnings-bms-sensor-replacement.17900/#post-359823

Minor update: I just received my second Sigenergy inverter as well as the V2X module. Install coming by this weekend.

That is great info. Thanks! Very glad you got your system working as well.

I will let you know if the other people don't end up coming to pick it up.

It is usually sold through installers, but the self2solar website does sell retail. It does require a certified installer, which any licensed electrician can qualify for with online training. The absolute base system would be $6500 on self2solar (which could be used with trucks generator...

This sounds silly, but did your truck ever get the battery monitor (on the ground terminal post) replaced? Even a good battery would show wrong with the defective battery monitor.

I am not quite ready yet, but I am planning on removing and giving away my Ford / sunrun home integration system. My system works but I have changed over to the Sigenergy V2X system instead. The #1 issue with my hardware is that the transfer switch (MIB-200) was dropped, and it damaged the...

I found that if you use the app, you can set the rate lower than previous and it will take automatically. Any time you set it to a higher current rate, then you have to power cycle the charge station to get it to take.

The HIS (Delta Inverter) has multiple MPPT inputs. Just know that its output on most models is 4kW on grid / 9kW off grid. Check your model number as most people have E4_BDI, but some people have E10_BDI. The system will also work with existing solar inverters (AC coupled). Now if you don't...

The problem is that there is no line communication. That is not how they implimented it. That is why systems like Sigenergy are much better, because they do use the hard wire lines through the charge cable (CCS1 protocol). There is zero chance that Ford is going to change anything else now on...

So I had no issues with either recent update but I was not charging at the time I updated. It seems like the people with issues had a charge session going when it tried to update.
