      I managed to keep both Victrons in BULK mode past 1 pm. The power is just starting to drop again. The Pergola topped out at 3,146...

      My total connect solar panels right now works out to 10,800 watts. 4,800 watts from the original Enphase system. 2,000 watts from the...

      I managed to push enough energy the last few days that I zeroed out my energy usage from SCE for the whole month. Too bad I don't have...

      They had me reload the same 2.04 firmware in the XW-Pro And we downgraded the Gateway to 1.17 from 1.18 I still think the issue is...

      I am on live chat with Schneider. He first said if there is nothing in the event log it is not a problem. They are logging into my...

      My XW-Pro was at it again. When I went to check in on the system as the sun was coming up, the XW was swinging up and back between...

      After 2 PM I was basically done with work, so I had a little fun with my system. I do not have the Victron charge controllers in a...

      Oh well... So much for seeing the maximum power today. It is just after noon and the battery is already topped up and the 250-70 has...

      I had an idea. Today, I turned off the charging in the XW-Pro completely. It charged in 327 watt hours as the sun came up when I got the...

      Connect both batteries through fuses to a common pair of bus bars. That way you end up with a single battery bank with double the amp...

      This is only speculation as I don't have this device. My guess is the Enphase system outputs a relay closure to command the generator...

      GXMnow replied to the thread My solar Pergola build.
      We can't frequency shift while on grid. The grid sets that. My Enphase system is fairly small at just 4.8 KW of panels and 3,840 watts...

      I opened the manual here. https://www.enetelus.jp/products/docs/EIBS7_DOC01-ZH19015-GJ.pdf But I can't et google to translate it to...

      My SCE NEM 2.0 contract listed 900 KWHs per month maximum export. It didn't say what happens if I exceed that. Do they get mad, bill me...

      This is probably a bad idea, but could be made to work with some care. I am assuming the "All in One Meter Panel" is your main panel...

      GXMnow replied to the thread My solar Pergola build.
      Right now, I am able to make more power than I can use. The new array is more power than I was originally planning, but I just couldn't...

      This s funny. I logged into the Enphase installer view. Can you guess which inverters are on my lower roof with the big palm tree...

      GXMnow replied to the thread XW Pro Grid Support limitations?.
      I looked into doing something like this early on to force it to AC couple charge for me. Go to the "Auxiliary Relay" settings. Here...

      GXMnow replied to the thread XW Pro Grid Support limitations?.
      Here is the problem. The grid power going into the XW-Pro is ground reference bonded. The neutral is ideally at true group potential...
