My math with the current deal I mentioned: $10,319/15,360WH = $.67/Watt-Hour, and with 30% Fed credit $7,223/15,360Wh = $.47/Watt-Hour (this includes load center, Home Power Panel, (2) F3800’s, (2) Extra Batteries, and the (2) connection cables.) Always do the math first to make sure you're making a good decision.

Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed the video please give it a thumbs up (above), it helps support the channel. Post questions or comments below.
Awesome Rhys, hope to see you at VidSummit again this year!
Very cool. Always love these cool battery / solar setups.
Thanks for watching!
Hi there ... (You might get this note more than once as I'm using your social media channels.) Please send to me link to video(s) about how to troubleshoot no-audio problem in a magnavox 26md357b tv dvd combo appliance .... I removed the back panel of my magnavox 26md357b tv dvd combo to remove a DVD that didn't eject, after having watched a UA-cam video. After I ejected the DVD, replaced the back panel and powered on, there was no audio. Maybe some cable/wire to the speakers came loose when I was returning the back panel. I have watched YT videos to troubleshoot this problem when I saw your video and contact info. So I send this note to ask if you have suggestions how to solve a no-audio problem. Do you have a video/resource about ... what are all the wires/cables to/from speakers of a magnavox 26md357b tv dvd combo? ...how to double-check wires/cables to speakers? .... which wires/cables are most likely to get bumped when the back panel is replaced? ... Cheers Ceecee
2:00 Question: My home is small and I dont have Central AC, I have Solar Heater and gas stove... I can put my entire home power on the "back Up" panel and have my entire home in Backup mode but also keep the main home panel so the Anker Smart panel can Provide power to the home while keeping the power from the grid at 0?
Also, it is necessary to have a bidirectional meter or it will still work on regular meters?
I think I understand what you are asking. It may be possible to put in a new service breaker then feed the HPP from that breaker (100 amp). Then you can feed your current main panel (with a 100amp breaker) from backup side of the HPP. You would want to consult with a local electrician about the regulations. Also, you would want to be sure that the loads won't go above 100amps and make sure the wires are sized appropriately. I don't know if this is all possible in your situation but those are some thoughts. No, you don't need a bi-directional meter. The power company meter doesn't factor in with the HPP.
Very nice, thanks for the explanation.
When in self consumption mode, is there a way for the enphase app to show the input from the anker battery ?
I am guessing it will show no input from the grid when you ac couple
Thanks. I’m not sure I understand. I don’t understand why the micro-inverters would take an AC input. They need to detect the grid voltage for UL1741. If your solar point of connection is in the panel (backfeeding a breaker) then you should be able to connect the Anker CT sensor to monitor solar output. Hopefully it would match what the emphases app says is the output. Did that answer your question?
@@FrugalRepair almost.
The installer came said that apart from the CTs, the micros need some power as well.
I know that I ll be able to monitor, solar, grid and battery from the Anker app.
But when the F3800 try to offset the house load there wont be anything coming from the grid.
Hence the enphase app would show no grid consumption (which is true).
I was wondering if there is a way for the enphase combiner box to take input from -any- battery maybe through another CT so that it shows all 3: grid, solar, battery.
Thanks!
If the output of your combiner box is being backfed through the breaker then when the HPP+F3800 is backfeeding power to the main panel, the enphase micro-inverters will think that is the grid. I don't have enphase so I don't know if they offer other sensor monitoring options than what they have inside the micro-inverters themselves. If you have any more HPP or solar related questions post them as new comments (it's easier for me to notice new comments than replies - which I might miss).
@@FrugalRepair Agreed, they ll think it's the grid and keep the solar coming.
Thanks a lot!
Hmm. I like the time off use feature. I wonder how much money is save vs not seeing this up.
Everyone has to do the math to make sure the cost savings and payback period is good for them when using getting batteries for TOU savings. The auto-transfer for power outages is great too so you have to put your own value on it. Let me know if you have other questions and I'll try my best to answer.
So you can plug your current solar array into this and use it as a backup generator when the power goes out even if youre not connected to the grid corrrect?
Yup same question…. I have everything that is in the video but have a question on the solar option. Can the F3800’s charge from the solar side inputs while discharging the batteries to supply power your sub-panel as well as back feed to your main panel. And if so what mode is necessary TOU or Self Consumption.
My solar array on my roof doesn't connect at all with the F3800's and Home Power Panel. They are independent of each other. When there is a power outage the batteries feed the backup load center. I can connect some solar panels in the back yard to the F3800's to charge them that way.
Yes, you can charge through the XT60 ports with solar panels while using it (the mode doesn't matter).
i have an enphase solar 11.8kw array, will this work perfectly fine without issues?
It should work just fine. Where is your solar point of connection? If you are backfeeding through a breaker(s) it should be easier to get the current sensor (CT) on the one 120v leg. If you are like me, with a line side tap, it may be a little more of a challenge getting the CT on one of those wires because of where they are located.
@@FrugalRepair I also have an Enphase array and my connection is on the opposite side of my home next to the meter. I am considering running a homemade extension cable up and across through the attic to the HPP I am going to locate next to my electrical breaker panel. I have seen some posts on the F3880 community that talk about using a twisted pair cable for this extension requirement. I think this would enable connection to my whole home electrical panel and not use the critical loads' panel.
I apologize but I didn’t understand the $.47 per Watt Hour for the cost…
@@scooterbananas Right after you sugma
@@scooterbananasRight after you sugma
Sorry if I did not explain that well enough. This is a way to compare costs with other full battery systems like a Tesla Powerwall. So you add up the cost of the whole system and divide by the amount of storage (watt-hours). The $.47/wh I mentioned is after the 30% fed credit. My estimate is for all of the equipment that I had in the video (15.36KwH) but does not include labor. Let me know if you have any more questions.
