    How to prevent backfeed?

    Are there devices besides inverters that will sometimes spuriously backfeed current onto the utilities lines? Certain types of motors spinning up / down?

    Is this one of you guys?

    I wonder what's inside? Think it's a battery / electronics shed? They might not have put any panels on the shed's roof because they would be visible over the fence line.

    LFP for EV's projected to be less than $56 per kWh within 6 months

    Victron is Over-priced Eurotrash. Why would anybody buy Victron over an AiO?

    Pricing in used panels

    I remember from the days of my youth that the Sun would be somewhere around this point in the sky at this time. However, I see nothing! I envy you guys.

    Staying on topic idea/feature?

    I guess something must be wrong with where I am. I'm looking outside, and I can't even locate the sun to be able to try and take a picture of it for you guys.
