A fire typically starts from either a) DC isolator, b) inverter or c) mc4 connectors...based on a quick research.

thx u

thank you

Most insurance policies have fine print stating that they won’t cover any leaks on your roof with solar panels. But reason number one, I’m afraid of heights lol.

Have you tested the Generator input of this inverter? How about with using the NEMA 14-50 plug on the Cybertruck to feed it and see if there are any issues with doing that ... there should be a good amount of Cybertrucks around you in Texas to ask one of them to help you ...

nice cage. that's the quickest a video's ever answered the question: is this person a giant piece of sht?

Why soo many? Kinda seems over kill? Are that many really needed?

What would you say it uses over 24h cooling on a hot day? Trying to decide if this will be a good fit for a tiny home I want to build on my property in the Caribbean! Thanks

👍👍

I own both of the r600 and the r1500 they both work good for a time but after about 2 months of usage they completely either die or they stopped functioning the way they're supposed to neither of them will connect to the app any longer even with it showing that it has Bluetooth and Wi-Fi available the r600 will drain even when it's plugged into the wall while powering something unfortunately very disappointing solar generators

Thanks for the review on this unit Brian..I was wondering if it was a cheap knockoff or legit product..like you said a good entry point to having a solar generator.

Nice

When you run it as a standard heat pump, does it still make noise? Probably a dumb question lol

Hello. Have you heard of the Coolar solar off-grid fridge? It uses no refrigerant, has no rotating parts, no electronics, and runs off of hot water generated by solar panels.

Just ordered one last week. $459. Plan to run my Iceco cooler on camping trips. Also own an Eveready, but under 300 Wh. It will now power my CPAP on those trips

I installed one of those 9k BTU 38 SEER mini splits at my girlfriend's house. 1700 sq ft. Heats the entire house in the winter. Cools the entire family room kitchen/dining area to a comfortable 78 this summer at 112 degrees outside. Back bedrooms reach above 83 degrees. I'm in 9b climate. Have 4000 watts worth of off grid solar with 3 eg4 lifepower batteries. 15 Kwh. Running the 38 SEER. We added an additional 9k 21 SEER unit in a back bedroom. And a 6000 BTU window unit that pulls 600 watts. All off grid summer and winter.

What brand are these panels and where to get them?

Well, im an hvac tech i see people wanting to save money and not pay all that money. But i feel the same about doctors, lawyers, and many other professions. I mean what do you do for a living? Think your over paid? But yea, we techs dont get paid enough while the owners live well.

Auch aus Sich von Deutschland eher Unwahr. Bei Zwei PC Anschlüssen werden uns hier Reihenweise Solarpanele gezeigt, die in Summe garnicht abschließbar sind. Daher ist das Video eher abzulehnen und Falsch….

Cutting it too close for comfort there lol

Nice, neat installation and appearance.

Another good video. This is future Brent looking back on your past video haha. Good explanation for this Texas homeowner. I wasn’t aware of the 120VAC input. I thought it required 240VAC and the low watts to feed it. Very nice indeed. All the best from north Texas. Hope your homestead didn’t get hammered too bad from Beryl.

To get a daily number that factors in all 4 seasons, you might want to add up the kWh for all 12 months for a given year…then divide the total yearly kWh by 365

Thanks for the video. I am considering either a Mr cool or eg4 for my office/HamShack/Radio room where it never gets cool. I am leaning toward and AC and not DC one. The solar panel driven one sounds cool but I would want to make use of the solar for other reasons so going with a AC power seems to make sense to me.

Thanks Brian great how to video! Great information 👍

Id like to see the rack more. Hoping to make one this year but a little higher because of snow.

Sooo how many kwh does a single 320 watt panel generate on a good day? I always hear multiply wattage by 4 for the daily generation.. it seems so low though.

Did you have to get permits from the electric company and county?? Thank You!!

Have you noticed any discrepancies in Max full state of charge voltage when charging from solar versus grid? I have 2xSol-Ark 15k's and 70 kwh of LFP batteries. When I charge from grid it will take my 48V battery up to 55.2V and then stop charging. When I charge from solar, it will stop charging the batteries at 54.5V.

Over Priced! What a Joke!

Question regarding pass-through: When your house load exceeds the AC output of the inverter (supply from battery or solar or both), does the inverter passthrough the grid completely? Or does the inverter passthrough only the incremental power from grid? Example: If house load goes from 14kw to 18kw, will it passthrough all of the 18kw from grid? or just the additional 3kw from grid (18kw load - 15kw output rating) . Thank you

Thank you so much for ALL the info you provide! It has helped me understand my current system a lot more how to go forward with back up systems. I also have the Sol-Ark 15kV inverter.

My biggest concern as an electrical contractor on products like this that are all in one is how modular is the design. Meaning in 5 to 10 years can you get those individual components in that and replace them. There's a couple companies that have whole home Smart panels and that was my biggest concern with those. I'm not a solar panel installer. Great video you really laid out everything it did what very well!

Are you in closed loop communication with the eg4 LL batteries?

Super helpful video! I really liked the way you explained how much power you need during the „no sun” hours! Thanks!

Let’s all give a thumbs up if we think this video deserves more views!

Do you use soft starts on your well pumps and AC compressor?

Go to bed and go to sleep, run a couple fans and no problem!

Excellent video. A solar water heater is great no grid use at all. 2nd one more battery would complete your system.

Have you considered using thermal mass to supplement your heating and cooling? Running your AC pulls the heat from the mass, reducing and delaying the temperature spike at the end of the day (or in the morning when heating).

I'd advise moving out of Texas

I've watched a few of your videos, this one is by far the craziest if you're actually manually changing all that stuff everyday. You desperately need home assistant and some ESP32 / Arduino knowledge to control as many of these things as possible. You can setup automations on your Mr Cool's for like 20 dollars of hardware. Or you could get some sensibo thermostats to automatically control the ac stuff.

Great tip! What did you use to transition from thhn to pv wire into your inverter? Thanks.

We did similarly. Our new stove has a (ir fry option in the oven with induction cook top. Our washer is a combo condensing LG model, very efficient, and we too went for a hybrid water heater. We are in a small lot subdivision (6 lots per acre approx), and only use ground mount, not well oriented solar. We also have 2 ev's (no gas cars) that we charge from solar. Our heat pump is pretty new, but not as efficient as we like. We are just supplementing grid, but we have been effectively off grid since March 2024, so still learning. Also if building or remodeling, too much insulation is never enough for you home. Oh yes, we just had our roof replaced (no solar on it) but ridge vents help us a lot (previously we had other non-powered vents). Oh we have 11KW solar, that maxes out about 5.6kw during the day (poor panel orientation but that is what was available), and 3 Tesla Powerwall's (40KWh rated, currently acting as 45KWh since they are still so new.).

I have a free-at-night plan in Texas so,for the present,my 20KWH in my house only has to cover 5 pm - 8pm then 6am to approximately 10 am when the solar begins to carry the house load and starts charging the battery. I’ve separated the other house on the property and use 3 EG4 server rack batteries for it. After getting the nights free plan we try to run the dryers of both houses on grid after 8pm and also put the electric ranges back on grid power . So mainly our grid consumption is daytime cooking. That is ,paid grid consumption. I have another 25KWH of battery that I’m currently not using but plan to put it in an RV with a EG4 6000XP inverter for a portable power supply. I have a conventional central air conditioner but it’s much easier to use the mini splits and window units on solar. It sure feels good to have free air conditioning in Texas!

It's never been in the 90s or hundreds at night here in Maine, ever...

If the dryer is heat pump and dumps hot air outside,doesn’t the dryer help cool the house?
