Yes this system is very flexible and seamless in operation, so it works for many use cases. My system has 3 batteries and a V2X split across 2 inverters. When I have a power outage, the stationary batteries alone can hold the house all day with full 5 ton AC load in Houston TX. I can plug in...

The setup really depends on the use case and your energy profile through the day. What you can do also depends on what you have within a stack. The inverter itself can send or receive up to 11.4kW on the AC line back to your panel. That does prove to be a limiting factor in many cases. For...

My understanding is that at least one battery in the system is needed to dark start. The truck itself does not work. That is why in my Sigenergy thread, I note the minimum system to be Load Hub, Inverter, one battery, and V2X. If you have 2 inverters, the battery only has to be in one of...

In the Sigenergy system I bring the SolarEdge inverter into the Load Hub on a smart port. That way the Sigenergy has a built in CT to monitor it, and it becomes part of the app.

Sigenergy has an AC charger as well, but it is not bi-directional. If you want bi-directional capabilites, you would still need the V2X module and an inverter mounted where it can reach a vehicle. You could wall mount that combo, although it is still 3 ft wide. The V2X module and an inverter...

I have this exact setup. There is no reason to change anything. I just have my existing SolarEdge inverter tied into the Sigenergy load hub. The Sigenergy app monitors it exactly the same as direct connected solar. Even AC coupled solar works with the system, and can run on or off-grid correctly.

The Pro Power onboard cannot start large loads. It has absolutely no surge capacity. As noted not all Lightnings have it either. Sigenergy will work with any year and trim level of Lightning Also as noted it should be considered 11.4kW for both charge and discharge. Sigenergy advertising...

I assume you unplugged and replugged? Also did you re-pair the Bluetooth after the charge station update (like a year and a half ago). If it says paired with station3000 or something like that I think you need to do it over.

In off grid mode is the charge station pro and the truck port going green? 2nd is to double check the 485 comm wire between the new inverter and charge station pro to make sure it isn’t backward.

Awesome! Looks like a great system!

I think this is a solution where there is really not much of a problem. I have driven all over the country and been to to over 50 different supercharger locations. Only one time did I ever have an issue with the station being full and not being able to properly reach a charger. I had one...

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...
