Under 300w home consumption at any point in time would be awesome for me. I would have to turn off my main panel breaker to get that low, Lol. Last month (June ) by bill was for a little over 4652kwh. I just put in the home panel with two F3800's and two extra batteries. I still need to get PV on them, but I am hoping to cut my light bill by 20-30%.
@@ChuckCassadyYT Yes the AC here in Texas uses a lot of power from early June into mid September. The wife will not let me put solar on the roof so I am limited to 5000 watts of PV on the side of the house. It’s not much but I will take all I can get. I am experimenting with a EG4 6000xp and two power pro batteries as compared to the Anker Solix F3800 and home panel. Both systems are great but EG4 is way less expensive.
This video gives you an example of Peak and Off Peak setting. I can tell you via my first hand experience (and confirmed by Anker support) that if you want your batteries to be recharged outside of Peak hours, using Off Peak like they show in the video is NOT going to recharge your batteries. You MUST program in the Super Off Peak mode (which is not the same Off Peak) in order to be able to recharge the batteries. It's kind of a shame that this is a video from Anker Solix itself but it's giving people an incorrect example.
I've had the f3800s and HPP system running for a month using a Time of Use schedule. My question is how does one "zero-out" the Earnings, Co2 Savings and Produced values in the App? There are values there from an old schedule which I need to eliminate and start over.
I cannot get past the self test. All homes seems to have 2 black wires going into a 200amp circuit. I however have 4 black wires going into 2 twin 100amp circuits. So the every time I attach the current reader, it for some reason tells me the L1 is not connected. And I can’t proceed. So I either need to bypass this or hope it works because I don’t want to spend $1000+ updating the 100amp to a 200amp
In this video, you have the Home Power Panel with both the inputs and the outputs going back to the main breaker panel, rather than a separate sub-panel. I can't seem to find anything that would show how this might be wired. Is this shown someplace?
I wonder the same thing about this setup. The best guess I can think of is the the panel of the left of the HPP is actually the backup subpanel, and the actual main panel is probably not in the picture. But then one must presume that some of the wiring that comes out on top of this sub panel are the L1/L2/Neutral/Ground wires that go to the main panel for the grid side connection. If so, why are they not in conduits??? I must assume that this is a "sham" setup just for show and not a real setup.
Thank you, very helpful

Do you have a video for those that don't have solar? Thanks
Wow that is a lot of consumption! I guess the good news is that the more you spend the more you can save. What’s your main user? HVAC?
