      One of the questions in the back of my mind is can I disconnect from the grid if my next EV has V2H? I started a couple of threads in...

      Last night, the batteries only dropped to 71% before they started to charge again this morning. The two BMS's are still tracking within...

      GXMnow replied to the thread I did a thing. Tell me I wrong.
      The fuses need to be sized to protect the wire. I would use a 50 amp or smaller fuse on #6 wire. You will still get 200 amps of total...

      GXMnow replied to the thread My new pergola with 2k solar.
      The issue is the rotation of the earth. My pergola panels are at just 17 degrees from flat. In the morning, the sun is coming in from...

      On a sunny but cool spring day (the only time my system will clip) my total house load is only going to use about 30-35 KWHs. If/When I...

      At about 7:30 this morning, the batteries hit their lowest voltage before the sun began charging them again. I think I may have been...

      I finished up my work early AND Amazon delivered early. The new BMS is already here. IT said before 9 pm. It has been a while since I...
