2/3 pallets just arrived. Just missing a pallet of solar. Really nicely packaged. Now to figure out how to hoist these out…engine hoist? I think so

Just called to ask about status. They got all the labels/certs and busy putting them on units before shipping out. Said mine should ship out tomorrow or Monday. Sep 8th order.

Finally got my single 18k + 3 Powerpros setup. I was honestly expecting the SW to be more polished. The 'eg4 monitor' app has different settings than the eg4 web interface than the interface on the device. Why? So time of use...who's got it working? Peak is 3pm-midnight and I want to run...

9/8 3x powerpros, 1x conduit box, 1x 18k, 10 random solar panels (already have roof solar, this is just for play/testing) and some wiring. 3 pieces, 1849lb listed. That sounds like everything

I've been using IotaWatt for a long time too. Had one running for a couple years, added a second one about a year ago to monitor more circuits. I dump all the data into prometheus so I can use grafana. I'm not a big fan of influxdb so I just modified the code and re-flashed the units to work...

Mine has shipped (to NorCal) and arrives Friday via ABF freight. Woo!

Please do! I disabled the peak shaving days ago as I've been playing with different settings to see if there was another way.

Mine was supposed to be delivered Friday but delayed and supposedly out for delivery now. Anxiously awaiting my new toys.

I've only seen ~4kw peak from solar over the past week the solar has been hooked to gen since the conditions have been so cloudy. I haven't noticed anything unusual about that - i've seen ~3kw going to grid or batteries depending on the mode it was in (standby/normal) since my base usage is...

I think the biggest reason to use a time-series DB is just the easy integration with grafana. You can just use SQL as a data source of course, but where's the fun in that... I had a similar setup before scraping the page but it's super easy to change their open source FW to fit your needs...

Are you AC coupling solar? AFAIK time-of-use just doesn't work yet. I tried this a month ago but EG4 support couldn't get it working, thought it might be because my solar is AC-coupled instead of DC - which seems weird. I haven't tried it again on the newest firmware released this month yet.

NEM2 thankfully. I just fed my existing SolarEdge7600 to the gen side of the inverter. With 3xPowerPros I can easily sustain running off batteries from 3pm-midnight but the EVs will run those batteries down right quick at midnight when they kick on. @Markus_EG4 do you know what settings I'm...

I went through the 100->200A upgrade with PG&E and it was not a bad deal doing it directly through PG&E. Took 18-20 months, 2.5 weeks of ripping up the street, cutting my concrete driveway / side lot out and replacing all for $10k. They're definitely subsidizing it as there was a big crew there...

How are you all unboxing it? Shop crane? 2 strong people?
