@@SmallTownSolar no but if they can prove that the AC connection had changed without a certified electrician doing it the code police could make me do it all over again…. Better safe than sorry. It is not a change to the agreement as long as you still comply with agreed upon kilowatts sent back to grid.
@@SmallTownSolar in my introduction video I talk about how most of the year except summer I run with grid as backup and don’t use any energy from the utility 85% of the time. I just built a giant pergola that is gonna to help me in the summer be more off than on grid. But eventually I’d like to be totally energy independent…. That’s the goal
@@SmallTownSolar several…. 1. Load test to see what my max current draw would be worst case 2. Emporia Vue to see how much power each of my circuits use individually 3. Sol-Ark has a system sizing tool that is very helpful www.sol-ark.com/resources/sizing-tools-calculators/battery-inverter-sizing-tool/ And label sizing tool www.sol-ark.com/resources/sizing-tools-calculators/solar-panel-sizing-tool/ 4. And even with all of that you end up with a starting point and you end up tweaking the system with real life data. Or if you have unlimited funds and unlimited space on your property you can just over size everything and then deal with excess after you see how much you have oversized your system But most people are doing what I said before that… tweaking after an initial install but plan for expansion

Thanks for watching and commenting👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for another informative video.
@@atomictabasco1509 thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻👍🏻
A little tape on that old power feed to the shunt would be good
Thanks for watching and commenting but as I stated in the video that was fixed right after the video was taken.
Starting a large air compressor would be similar to the house starting a large inrush ac compressor.
@@joshuaspires9252 that’s correct thanks for watching and commenting
Every time you make an addition to your system or an augmentation, are you modifying your interconnection agreement with Entergy?

@@mysolaraddiction long term, you think you’ll ever go off grid???

@@mysolaraddiction what metrics are you using to figure out how many KW in panels and KWH in batteries you need to go completely off grid???
