20 kW - that’s practically a sub-station! :)

I would prefer to keep it DC but I don't see an available product that fits the constraints. I do see a few product launches that may be a solution when available??

thanks for the response. I am reading the Enphase system descriptions but can’t tell if it can handle rapid swings in delivery without storage. Like Blueassasin suggested a cloud of some other sudden change would be difficult for a system to handle I imagine. If the charger stops the draw...

Thanks but trying to avoid batteries or other storage/supply components.

I hadn’t purchased the components yet. In design phase right now. But enphase is one of our preferred components suppliers for micro inverters, batteries, etc. , for our construction company.

I am familiar somewhat with Home Assistant. Now it looks like I’m heading down a multi-hour rabbit hole on Solar Assistant. Thanks for the tip Revelation!

This is probably the case. the person processing made an incorrect interpretation.

Does anyone have installation experience or design expertise for an off grid EV charging PV system? To be clear, I fully understand grid tied systems, I am researching a specific design constraint. My stumbling point (end of my topic knowledge) is if you are generating AC power after...

Thanks! Heading to that site now!

Thanks for the posts Dock4. I am a partner in a small general contracting firm. This would be perfect for a customer service van if we worked one ticket/job per day, but our average is about 2 per day. So we would need a bigger battery or better charging infrastructure. Charge time for...

Wait, that’s a power bank too? Come on camp speaker haters- i love it.

However, I regret to inform you that our state is full. Thanks for your interest :) Really? But the OP is from WI. I thought you just had a firewall for CA or TX imports….. ;)

Like others have said superfluid, thanks for the impressive effort. Can’t wait to follow the procedure today. Question Superfluid - with all of your current findings, if you were to change one or two hardware components, what would that entail?

I like this thread! Mainly because it shows that most of us just need to focus on what is important in a power outage. That list of critical circuits changes from 1 hr to 1 day of outage. But if we take a strategic approach to it, 1.5 kw (i think that’s the Rivian inverter’s capacity) is a...

Or were you referring to the off-road bags?

Ive changed many tires in my day, but def. I’m no expert. After I did a tire rotation with the scissor jack, I purchased an airbag jack. I like it as it has a big surface for jack pucks. I tested it the other day and at full extension it didn’t quit get me off the ground. Two stacks of...

Ha! That too is my annoyance. One-cheek-lift gets me every time. Especially backing a trailer. My guess is the younger folks don’t have the issue by relying on sensors. I can’t get my Drivers’ Ed. instructors voice out of my head,”always look over your shoulder before backing!”

I want ! …. Oh forgot, I have an R1S.

I didn’t know there was anybody in the truck. That is horrifying! If you look at the front seat from that picture, it was only a few inches from disaster. Oh, and NY_Rob, I agree with your initial sentiment.

Good vid. Thanks
