    On grid without utility consent.

    yup, and they are well aware that a signed utility approval paper does not act like a wireless back-feed isolation device as some seem to think.

    On grid without utility consent.

    The simple fact of doing without permission has absolutely no impact on lineman.

    Duke Energy - 20kW maximum - what's this actually mean?

    In Indiana Duke goes by the Inverter rating, not the combined panel rating.

    Interesting poll results! Sol Ark VS Signature Solar

    Be interested to hear more about this, and not just from the hardware side. If you were to include VRM, firmware quality and updates in response to issues, support, hardware and complete eco-system stackup how do Sol-Ark vs Victron compare?

    OpenOffice

    OppenOffice has been fairly stagnant for many years, LibreOffice is the one in active development and the one that resides in most/all Linux repos, plus available for download for Mac/Windows.

    Sunfunkits show their true color

    Their own videos show they have no clue what they are doing, plus they are hostile to customers, can't think of any reason to support their business. But I get your joke!

    Why !!! Are we trashing the earth digging up all this lithium for home energy ? Salt water batteries.

    That site has essentially zero information, and it's $50k for 40kWhs. At least one other company tried this before and went belly up, don't recall for what reason though.

    Duke Energy = No Line Side tap and im over current on bus bar. Options?

    Interesting. I've been generating more than I use for about 5 years now, so far no issues, but I'm in Indiana.

    Sunfunkits show their true color

    My lab (Indiana) is available, can load and/or charge test, both AH and Wh.

    Sunfunkits show their true color

    I really need to go back through all of my issues with these guys. Not terrible but definitely have significant room for improvement, 75% might be about right.

    Thanks for the video and the honesty, really glad I never did business with those guys.

    My 33 SEER Mr Slim uses 3-4kWh per day in the 90s F here in the midwest. This is cooling about 1500sq' but is very well insulated.
