Not impressed with Sol Ark's technical support! My electrical knowledge is about as minimal as you can get. From what I've been able to determine, there are two types of generators: bonded neutral & floating neutral. It would appear most portable generators are bonded neutral for safety...

For anyone who has a grid that doesn’t go down for days or weeks at a time, a Home Integration System doesn’t make sense, particularly those of us with solar and battery backup. It would be nice, however, to be able to use the Lightning’s battery in the event of an extended outage. Could this be...

You can order an HIS from AEE Solar. The web site seems to suggest you have to be a dealer or installer but you don't. You do have to create an account but apparently anyone can do it. Interestingly, all the HIS inverters are the same price, regardless of size. If you have problems, call...

I bought my Lightning mainly for its vehicle-to-home (V2H) capabilities – and to date it has been a disappointment. Part of the problem, perhaps a big part, has been Ford’s choice of SunRun as a partner. It looks like it may be difficult to impossible to incorporate a Lightning with...

Does anyone have a working implementation?

There is a thread about using the generator port on Sol Ark inverters connected to the 240v, 30a power port to supply power to homes with solar. For most of us this makes more sense than procuring proprietary technology to use the Lightning's battery as a backup power source. Unless you are...

Providing it is done correctly, does installation by a third party affect warranties on either the HIS or Charge Station Pro?

Anyone else in this group have their production date removed on the Ford website?

Looks like there are a bunch of conditions in the IRA that could tube credits even for those of us who have purchased or will purchase an EV this year? Two questions: If we purchased and are driving a foreign-made EV, e.g. Kia or Hyundai, will we get the credit? Does the non-refundable $500...

If so please send a link for the source.

What functionality do you get with the HIS that would be difficult or impossible to duplicate for an electrical novice with a third-party inverter like Sol Ark? Is there any programming using Ford-proprietary information in the HIS? Down the road what about the forthcoming 'Intelligent Power'...

Is it out yet?

Looks like it can run anywhere between 2 and 6 weeks. For the 22MY is it likely to be faster or longer?

There was a post a while back that said only about 3,000 had been built as of the end of June IIRC. Also is there an average time between notification your truck is being built and delivery?

Is Active Park Assist 2.0 included with the extended range Lariat? For those of us who haven't been driving larger vehicles in a while it seems like a 'must have' option. Any recommendations for other 'must haves'? What's a good site to explain the options?

How does it work? Do you have to take delivery before the credit drops/ends or just place your order? I am under the impression if you get (whatever that means) a qualifying EV in the quarter the vendor loses the credit you are still eligible for the full credit.

Are the numbers available yet? (Will they ever be?)

Any idea when this is going to start or if it has already?

How hard (expensive) would it be to offer this? Anyone with access to the power in the battery of their EV could be a beneficiary. A few more devastating wildfires and grid failures would provide a powerful marketing message. This could be a huge contribution (or penance) for an industry that...

With its Intelligent Power Backup and forthcoming just Intelligent Power, the way I see it Ford has a Tesla killer. The problem is not everyone can justify owning a pickup. It may take a few more years of killer grid failures before the public catches on to the benefits of bidirectional...
