Offgrid Solar Beginner Crash Course: Build a 10,000W Solar System Here is a better video he does. This one is a little more expensive but still cheaper than your EcoFlow. Could probably get 26kW of battery storage. I'm not a huge electrical DIY guy but this seems like something a 9th grader...

Lowest Price DIY Offgrid Solar System for 2025 - YouTube This guy is a savant at solar / EV. I've watched a ton of his videos and this is probably the closest to what youre asking for. For 3-4K (no solar panels), it's actually not that crazy. Considering a Level 2 install is probably $1500...

I am looking into this idea. Since I'm going to have to have a fair amount of work done regardless I kind of want the most robust system. This will allow me to access the entire panel rather than a critical loads. So can power things as needed rather than just designating 8 things. Also...

If you were to install a 200amp manual transfer switch. Why not do it Before the outside panel? That way you could 'theoretically' have access to both panels if you somehow could input enough amperes.

And unfortunately this subpanel is about 3 rooms away. I cannot find the conduit so it must be well done in the wall. House was redone about 8 years ago after a storm. P.S. I 100 % plan on getting an electrician. I understand this stuff just enough to know the basics. I'm just trying to...

I belive y'all are correct yes. Makes more sense. A single 200 amp panel and then a sub panel. So you're saying a 200 amp transfer switch on the feed from the outside panel to the inside panel? That seems expensive and overengineered for what the lightning or a home generator could do? I...

I have been reading up extensively on the GFCI issues with the Pro-Power onboard. I am looking to soon have an electrician install a 220V EVSE. I would like at the same time to get my house ready for back-up power using Pro Power Onboard. Looking at my system I have 2 panels of 200 amps. I...

Scanning through that thread now like I'm a senator voting on a 3000 page bill. tonight at midnight. THanks for the update. I am going to PM you my VIn and look into this. Currently 400 miles from home so with lots of summer trips planned so this may be something I "prepare" to do in July...

Explain to me like I'm 5 master sage.

Brand new yes. 2023 Model I found some paper that said delivered October 2023 to the dealer.

New owner. Got it from ford dealership I assume they updated all the OTA but you know what they say about assume. how do I check what software updates my truck has downloaded Va what’s available. I don’t see % of battery in my screen so I assume I’m behind. SR 2023. All I really want is...

Kind of just blew my mind about Plug in cooling / heating options. this certainly could make stopping BETTER than a Gas with some planning. Why stop at at nasty fast food joint when you could pop the Frunk and heat some foods or have some cold items. Does the pro power run while you're...

I guess 7.2 Kw (7200) / 240 V = 30 Amps. So you can only run 30 amps essentially through the PPO. Or if you ran everything through 120V outlets you'd get 7200 / 120 = 60 amps? So could you get "more" electronics plugged in with 120V? I assume extension cord / power strip safety would...

Thanks for the info! And yes unfortunately none of this is " DIY " in my opinion. If for anything else an electrical fire I highly doubt insurance would approve of your DIY install. I will be seeking an electrician. For the ProPower onboard I can't seem to find a pdf or manual. My question is...

9.2kWh is incredible also I'm realizing. You begin to realize how close we are to infrastructure to support current quality of life even in power outages! Imagine if a few neighbors or spouses have F150Lightning Or other V2H systems. Even in a real bind someone could 40 miles up the road to...

Okay I am scratching the Ford Home Integration system. Too buggy and $$$$. We all know when s*** hits the fan you want simple, dumb, reliable, redundant things. HIS seems too finnicky. Thanks for the math lesson! Should've been an EE had I known the way all this tech was going! Certainly...

Hey All. I just purchased a 2023 Standard Range Lightning with Pro Power onboard. Brand new. I wanted the extended range but this was truly an unbeatable deal. Bought the truck for basically the price of a Mach E. We live in the gulf coast and hurricanes are absolutely an annual thing. Good...
