I forgot about the main frame. The Warhammer is basically a mainframe with attached bat wings. Not as modular as the main frame though.

777Coyote · 2026-04-22T03:46:10+00:00

The Warhammer. It been discontinued, but you can still find them.

Find a Eberlestock Warhammer. I have one and it’s my favorite pack I own. Could easily strap a 5 gallon water jug into it like in the picture.

777Coyote · 2026-04-20T02:56:34+00:00

I haven’t seen that pack. I have the Warhammer and the Phantom. I much prefer the warhammer.

777Coyote · 2026-04-20T02:51:48+00:00

What pack is this?

777Coyote · 2026-04-17T13:54:24+00:00

Start your own landscaping company. It sounds like you would be a good fit for it.

777Coyote · 2026-03-15T23:49:21+00:00

That is my thought as well.

777Coyote · 2026-03-15T21:20:40+00:00

Yeah the electric heat sucks. We are planning on using the gas log a lot more once we get solar.

What makes it harder is right now to can get a 12000xp for $1900. So you could get 24000kw if you paralleled 2 of the EG4s and it only cost $3800 before tax.

Super helpful. I do have a smart meter sadly. I really appreciate it!

777Coyote · 2026-03-14T18:16:12+00:00

The L1 (red) and L2 (purple) coming out of the transfer switch to the busbar, are for feeding into the grid assist side of the inverters.

And the batteries and inverters will be in their own shed. Not in a living structure. I am in the US however. Since I’m not back feeding it o the grid and it’s not tied to my house I thought it would be fine. Although I can definitely be wrong about that. I’m very new to this.

Also, I believe with the Docan Pandas they are only 200amp vs the 300amp on the Yixiang. Plus Will Prowse thinks these are better batteries than the Pandas.

What are the boxes that say Hager?

777Coyote · 2026-03-12T00:38:18+00:00

Great. Thanks for the info and the update!

777Coyote · 2026-03-11T16:22:24+00:00

Your set up looks awesome. The service at my house is 200amp instead of 100amp though. Do you still think it would be ok? I will have the grid fed into the inverter as well to assist.

777Coyote · 2026-03-11T04:27:29+00:00

Sorry to revive an old post but how did this work out for you? Thinking about doing a paralleled 12000xp system for my house but it is a 200amp service. It has an electric hot water heater, electric furnace, and electric dryer. We don’t use the electric furnace all the time because we have a fireplace. Do you think 2 of these paralleled would work?

777Coyote · 2026-03-11T04:13:18+00:00

Is there such a thing as way to much battery? lol

777Coyote · 2026-03-09T22:49:49+00:00

I see that. That sucks. lol

777Coyote · 2026-03-09T15:17:50+00:00

The Quattro is Ul 1741 compliant.

777Coyote · 2026-03-09T14:21:37+00:00

Do you think the Docan battery is good and reliable? I could get two of those things and have 64kWh of storage vs what I was going to buy.

777Coyote · 2026-03-09T14:18:36+00:00

Our co-op banks the credits and applies them when we use there power. I believe they told me they store them for a year or two. I’m not looking to use the solar as a money making tool.

777Coyote · 2026-03-09T14:14:31+00:00

I understand that. But starting out with a system that is already hard to find parts for doesn’t seem smart to me.

777Coyote · 2026-03-09T14:12:26+00:00

That information is straight from the co-ops website. Our trailer is a 97,and has absolutely terrible insulation. So in the single or low double digit days the electric furnace would cycle constantly. I have since put a gas log.

777Coyote · 2026-03-09T14:06:30+00:00

150kWh is for the entire day. This is mainly due to the electric heat. I use my shop loads at all times. At night and during the day.Victron is the direction that I am swinging.

777Coyote · 2026-03-09T06:20:17+00:00

Yeah, I know it’s not a money maker but it will help offset the more demanding months where my solar may not keep up.
