  • Post in thread: PowerPro Winter capabilities in unheated location

    Can anyone share their experience of using their PowerPro during winter in a location that is not heated? I'm considering installing one into a shed, but I'm in WI where temps do go below 0 for a week or two on occasion. I understand the battery can heat itself but there are not many real...

    The video mentions heating but then just goes into updating firmware.

    Yes, I believe it's 223W. I'm just debating whether I keep the battery and inverter in my basement or out in my shed. The insulation cabinet would be the first thing I'd add for cold.

    Can anyone comment on how the Talesun panels are performing? Debsting between those Canadian Solar 400w.
  • Post in thread: Help with 200amp split for EG4 18K PV install

    Hello, I'm working with a solar installer to get an 18k PV and PowerPro installed. The solar installer has put together a plan that was approved by the utility. The plan includes replacing my existing pedestal with a new pedestal that has two outputs on each side in order to get the split...
  • Post in thread: Federal Tax Credit Question regarding possible solar shed

    Hello, I'm considering building a shed to house my EG4 18k PV inverter and PowerPro as well as use the roof for some additional solar panels. Is there any guidance as to whether these types of construction costs are qualified as part of the federal tax credit? Thanks.

    On further consideration, I realized this would be easily manipulated, so the answer is almost a guaranteed no. Please feel to reply if I'm missing something.

    All black is to get my SO on board, plus I think it is a nicer look myself.
  • Post in thread: Solar Panels for Whole Home backup

    That was my understanding, but I'll double check. He does mainly do enphase, but he has done one EG4 install before. It seems like installing the 18kpv and power pro would be simpler than having to hookupall the micro inverters.

    My SO notices a paint imperfection from 10 ft away. I'm not going to listen to "I wish we went all black" for 25+ years. 😅
  • Post in thread: Heat pad wattage for winter charging

    I'm considering doing something similar. Do you have picture of your setup or links to the type of heaters that you used and where you placed them? I assume you used heaters that are 21w each, not combined, correct?

    What are the current options for RSD? It's the one thing I haven't checked off yet.
  • Post in thread: EG4 PowerPro batteries out doors in cold weather any issues?

    Sounds like a really neat setup. Can you share more info on the type of heated pads you used?
  • Post in thread: Bifacial panels really work!

    Even on a roof install? I'm in a northern state and I'm debating bifacials.
  • Post in thread: Solar Panels for Whole Home backup

    I am working with a local solar installer to put in whole home solar backup. I'm leaning towards 18kpv with a power pro battery. My roof should have room to mount 30 400w panels, so now I'm left with picking the right panels. My installer quoted REC N peak 3 at 240 a panel which is ok for...
