I have not said it last only 30 minutes. I said I don’t want 40 amp on a 10 gauge copper wire for 30 minutes!!! (or any time tbh. If you know in advance that the continuous power on off grid situation can be 40amp I believe it is just bad design not to have 8 gauge wires). I am trying to express...

Disagree. This new capabilities activated during off grid mode. I don’t want to have 40amp on a 10 gauge wire for 30 minutes. I just don’t. Which it is supported now. Additionally it can take up to 116amp LRA start. I think it is absolutely a bad idea to undersize wires.

And he forgot that all the installation what his company do runs 10 gauge wires (which is good up to 30amp and with that 7.6kWh) instead of the proper 8 gauge copper wires that can take the increase load of 40amp (9.8kWh). He simply forgetting things like safety and regulation regarding the...

You can have that oversized system components as a completly off grid solution. Never ever feedback to them. They have no say in that. However, I feel your pain.

Your though process is not incorrect just missing one angle. I agree with you the properly sized solar system -which as average provides 100% coverage- have issues to cover on those day when solar production is not great. However, you can attack this problem differently rather than having a...

Indeed. The same way you would do with mobile generator and not t blow up everything. 😎 Following safe and best practices are still a requirement

You could have go around it by using the panel ATS as a UL a listed disconnect device. Which is UL a listed. From that point this Inverter is effectivly not interacting with the grid. So, they are, should not care about it. Also, you could have a way to get around all together with requirement...

I read the whole thread and I was thinking on couple of solution. If your battery breakers is in a different load panel than the solar breakers you can install Contactor with your preferred MC (ESP32, R Pi, Arduino etc) with a simple custom code to control it using your mobile phone. Something...

I am sure you all know by now how to recognize if the PW2 has that +. TPN: 3012170-05-B = this is the new part number for PW+ TSN: TG120300 = The model year is after TG1 (20 or 21) and the following three digit show which date of the year is produced. If the number is bigger than 300 of the...

I am on the default 8.5 for pre-charge settings. Yes, thank you. I would appreciate if you would send me the code. DM.

My issue list: - it reboots/crashes anytime when I connect to the live system with USB and start the terminal. Always. If I want to have direct info, or reconfig, I have to bring down the system. - if you turn it off the system after you have shut down the inverter (before the inverter fully...

This is complete BS that they are selling a product for $2.5K, which cost not more then $1k and they are not providing any support for it. [I have no problem paying for things if I get good and appropriate support]. I got one of the earlier version of their v2 BMS and it has multiple issue with...

Couple of comments. I have seen lot of people just install tier 1 system first, get the net metering and extend wherever they want. I have never heard a story that FPL ever checked it. PSC is eating from FPL hands. So, this is intentional BS. There are states where the tier-1 ends at 25kw...

I would like to make a comment regarding the Michelin tires with foam. If you ever get punctured a tire you have to buy a new tire. I have learned in the hard way. The issue with the tire with foam that normal puncture the tire shop just can easily fix it to plugh it up and polish up the tire...

I have to say one thing: “first world problem”. On the other hand the issue is setting expectations IN YOUR MIND. I have a 2013MS and currently I am missing all those nice things you might have. Do I care? Does it change my life? In our M3 I appreciate the cool autpilot features but I can live...
