As a licensed but non-practicing insurance agent, I do disagree now that the insurance companies are charging premiums for having solar panels (at least USAA does). The actual problem is the roof industry (at least here in TX). I quite believe it is a collusion between insurance companies and...

I wanted to add that the Sigenergy inverter goes on a 60A breaker (48A continuous). If you have the floor/wall space (3 feet wide) at your existing charger, you can probably use the same wiring you already have in place. At your main panel, you just need the Load Hub wired in between your...

Sigenergy is opening experience centers where you can go test your vehicle before buying the system. Check on their website to see if there is one opening near you.

I have no issues on mine and can have it connected for hours. I have all of the OTA”s I have not heard of any issues on the lightning. I suspect something else is going on like the charge limit was reached. Having any sort of charge schedule / location settings can mess with it. I turned all...

While I agree that Ford should just make the existing HIS owners "right", which would greatly increase brand loyalty, the GenerLink is not a true HIS replacement. For a lot of people it might work, but I have tested bi-directional chargers, vs ProPower on the same system and there is a...

That's a great choice of system. I will just caution that the charger is a DC charger. I have heard on the lightning specifically that the BMS does not recalibrate on DC charging. After many DC sessions it can get off base, especially at the very low end. I believe it is recommended to AC...

I am more than familiar with this and have spent countless hours posting on it, as well as helping owners resolve issues with their system on private emails and even a couple of on-site visits. I have not heard of any actual suits confirmed to have been filed against Ford. I have no personal...

Is there any record of any lawsuits being filed? As tempting as that sounds to people, it would also cause Ford to completely shut off help to any other people, as they would have to wait (possibly years) to know the outcome of that first. I'm not sure that has happened, but it could be a...

Since you are on a 1:1 net metering, the battery won't be nearly as important unless you go off-grid for a while, but with 2 EV that should be pretty well covered as well. You would need to weigh the amount of clipping vs the cost of $2500-4000 installed for the second inverter even with no...

So I think this really depends on your utility tariff plan, and how often the truck (or another EV) would be plugged into the house. I believe you are going to find the 9kWh battery quite undersized, as your system is going to produce like 45-90 kWh most days. Does the utility buy back solar at...

The only thing that the rating makes a difference on is the on-grid solar output capability. The inverter can also be AC coupled to solar (I did so with my existing SolarEdge inverter). It might be a lot better, and lower cost just to get a separate solar inverter which you would tie into your...

If you had the CCS1 conversion then you could use your model S as a home battery with Sigenergy V2X or something like it.

I am just curious what about the software do you need changed? For me the software is just fine, and I could care less if I get more OTA updates, or if the app works or not. I have never relied on or needed the app for anything. I certainly don't think the grass is greener anywhere else either.

The actual LED on the side of the unit can be set to be a crude state of charge bar graph display. The panel on the front shows if it is charging/discharging/standby as well as the status of the grid, network, and a couple other items.

Here is a new update to complete the trailer recall.
