Sounds good, Well, the 30 kwh would be accurate with the whole house on the grid and includes 110v and 240v loads. But being I am only going to use the 18k for the 240v loads, I would have to somehow separate that from the 30kwh to figure out what that draw would be. What I am hoping is that (3)...

well, the 30 kwh of course includes my whole house on the grid. During the day or whenever I run it, all my 110 loads would be run with my other inverter, not the 18k. So it is hard to tell by my meter what just those 240v loads would be.

Just trying to figure out how many eg4 batteries I need to work with the 18k to make it through the night running my well pump, hotwater heater and heat pump.

Quite a system you have there. Well, with all you are running. I am more convinced that one 18k can run my 3/4 hp well pum, hot water heater, 2.5 ton heat pump / ac with soft start, dryer and range. No 110 loads. Only those (5) 240v loads and only the well pump and hot water heater will be the...

Well, I checked the reading last night at 5pm and had 64272 and this morning at 9am it was 64300. So I multiplied that by 3 and divided that number by 88%. So the kwh usage 64300 - 64272 = 28 x 3 = 84 divided by 88% = 95.45. So I am not sure where to go next with these figures to be able to...

Thanks, I would be in pretty much the same position if I chose the Schneider too I suppose.

Thank you, you have a great 4th also. The heat pump / AC unit is a brand new (3 weeks old) 2.5 ton Carrier unit. Sits outside and provides central air to the house. It works with my furnace.

Thank you, I will get right on that and see what I get.

Oh, sorry, must have forgotten a word there. I will be off grid only. 18k will NOT be tied to the grid.

Thanks so much James: I appreciate that feedback / info. I have a system in place now taking care of all my 110 v loads. But getting that 240 volt load taking care of takes a bit more research. So either the 18K or the Schneider would only be doing my 240 volt loads. Looking at people installing...

Just glanced on the interent for basic costs and your right. About the same for a heat pump water heater or an eg4 rack battery.

No, only monthly. I guess I would have to call them and ask if they could provide it.

Thanks for that follow up info Gavin. Enjoy your videos! Here I would only be running my 240v loads - NO 120 volts loads. And of course, like you stated in one of your videos, one has to be smart on what you can run and not run. So my main unit that I would not have any choice in is the well...

My unit would be off grid and tied to it.
