Been quiet here lately.
I've now got my system installed in the permanent configuration doing 200A passthrough. The main new thing I'm able to test now is the "seamless" backup. IMO, it works great. Some of my lights I can see a flicker on changeover, but none of my electronics notice. 9 times out of 10 I probably wouldn't even notice the grid went down, which is awesome. Earlier today I did it while the dryer was running and 2 (inverter) window AC units among many other electronics. The only thing my wife noticed was the clicking relays when it happened.
Super happy to have this capability now, still losing power even with solar when the grid went down was always my biggest frustration.
Still waiting on Duke for the permit, but I decided I had to go ahead and finish the install, the wife is going to pop out a baby any day now. I need to get the battery cables in conduit then I'll post up some pics and take a review video.
