  1. Wet Floor Board - Again

    Has anyone had the wet floor board issue twice?

  2. iPhone App Update Charging Speed

    I charge from solar during the day so i limit my charging to 24A from 2-7 in the app. The car kept engaging at 48A and tripping the charger. I updated the app and now all seems to work. Hope this helps someone else.

  3. Uh-oh. Long time parked has zero power…

    I leave my car plugged in if I leave town for 2 days and would do the same for 2 months

  4. Traded in my '22 quad for a '25 dual performance...

    @kozak79 any better efficiency on the gen2? Less vampire drain? My trade-in was pretty good but I do not have many complaints about my gen1..other than a speaker grill rattling..

  5. No cloud connection and 502 on API calls

    Did you complete the update?

  6. No cloud connection and 502 on API calls

    Same on No Cloud Connection..had to do update from the vehicle not from phone

    Decking is tongue and groove..shingles are 5 years..

    South La my costs have gone from .10 to .14. Not terrible but 40% in 5 years is a large increase

  9. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    I will admit this was a fun project. I live in a city with no solar installers so DIY was the only real option.

  10. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    How big is your array? And on average how many kWh per year do you generate/use?

  11. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    As a w-2 employee I get very few tax breaks. So yes getting rid of credits that stimulate growth is a bad move. And now local attorneys are suing installers. Small scale solar is great but it is about to get more difficult. I could not find anyone to help with off-grid so I went DIY

    Local wholesaler..Philadelphia 400W bifacials ..could have gone cheaper if I had some friends to buy a pallet of 36

  13. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    I started with a whole home quote that was 12kw and a battery for $50k. Based on my current bill it was a 15 year payback. Really dumb luck. Also 15 with hurricanes I did not have the patience for 15 years and at some point I will need to replace my 70 year old roof. I knew that the 12k...

    Louisiana uses avoided rates and not net metering. Although the battery was $3k it seems better than selling back at .03 and buying at .12.

  15. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    Seems like the going price is $3-4/watt so you are in the ballpark. Is this with a battery?

  16. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    Yes and no. Since this is DIY, I do not have the certificate of completion so I assume the IRS would reject my credit. However there is a credit for solar and battery so I may submit for $6k vs $8k. Also I could put it on my return and see what happens

  17. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    10 panels - 1k 6000xp - 1500 Battery - 3500 Parts/materials/labor - 2000 I could have bought a bigger inverter but I knew I would not exceed 6000 watts on this off-grid setup. Also I am only charging at 25A so I am ok with the slower charging. All in all this set is sufficient if you drive less...

  18. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    I have a 70 year old roof and I know it’s only a matter of time before I need to replace. At that point I will add whole home. I could fit a 12kw system and I can now save about $10k as my off-grid has battery backup.

  19. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    I wish payback was that good. I am at .12/kwh. So about 600/year. But it beats paying $600/year on a service contract for a standby generator.

  20. I built a ‘fueling station’ with 10- 400 watt panels, eg4 6000xp, and eg4 14kw battery

    My girlfriend drives a M3 and I could up the R1S charge to 85%. I have not figured out what to do when I am out of town. I may just turn the system off. Or I could add a transfer switch and run the house.
