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.

While something like Sigenergy is definitely more expensive than DIY cobbled together system, if you are starting from scratch it is not that bad. Even when comparing to something like EG4 it actually isnt that much more, especially considering you are tapping into 130 kWh of battery. In an...

A couple of notes. Just having the truck plugged in does not maintain or charge the 12V battery. It is only charging when the truck is "ON" or when it is actively charging the HV battery. Low 12V battery is quite normal for people who make frequent but short trips and thus short charging...

Sorry, but I specifically mean what you have it set to. Mine is too on a 100A breaker but it is still only set to 40A. Observing a lot of posts, it seems that most people who have issues with FCSP are set to 80A where there is a lot more heat generated. Those of us with lower settings have...

We bought this one for our daughter and are extremely satisfied with it. We have the queen but the twin could fit the truck with the seats up I think. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DKTCWC8X?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

I apologize I have not reviewed the video yet, but what (hardware dial position) rate do you have the charge station set to? Since day 1 I have my FCSP turned down to 64, and now down to 40A. I haven't had any sort of issues or connectivity problems in over 3 years of having it. Even with the...

I like what BASE is doing, but they are still keeping most of the money they make for themselves. If you can afford to pay cash or finance the battery, there are much better options which will save you way more. My average bill over the last 12 months is under $30 (for both the house and...

I watched this earlier today, and totally agree. I have built my home system around this strategy. It is too bad that outside of ERCOT (TX) the financial incentive is not there yet. Without any sort of significant cost savings, these backup systems are out of cost reach for most.
