    New EG4 one ton wifi not connecting.

    I am so happy! With this thing finally connected I was entertained all weekend watching my solar production. When this happened mid morning.....total solar no grid consumption, I was thrilled. So put me down for a convert. The hybrid makes sense for offsetting the use of propane during...

    DC switch for light

    I read somewhere ??? that you could use ac light fixtures with a dc 12 volt bulb to have a wider assortment of fixtures.

    Cheap battery shunt - Bayite

    I understand that but if I am still drawing current at the time the battery is being charged shouldnt it show that current? This goes the whole day with 0 until the sun goes down and then it shows discharge current again.
