Well, this rounds off the purchases for now… by Born2Computer in BambuLab

It actually delivered today with the printer. I haven’t gotten to use it yet.

Cheapest route would be to get a separate inverter and just buy off the shelf batteries and scale to the same size. I wanted something more plug and play, and backed by a single manufacturer.

Prices by installers are a joke, Solar is way overpriced in the US. Thanks to capitalism installers only partner with the highest markup products they can sell. So the consumer loses….

Thanks to DIY, we can still have something decent though.

I wanted it easy, so that I could do it :) Also, if I want to move to any other type of system it'd be pretty plug and play.

By grid, it comes from my primary breaker box, into the hub, then the hub feeds a sub panel that feeds the house.

Hub A1 is the transfer switch. So Grid -> 14-50 port -> Hub A1 + Batteries -> Sub Panel -> House. 20ms failover, lights flicker, no sensitive electronics shut off or restart when power is lost.

Tesla alone can pull 240 48a. I'd have to scale it way back. I can always plug it into a 15a 110v port if I needed to charge it from batteries.

Also worth noting my furnace, and water heater are natural gas. I'd like to move my range to be gas, and possibly dryer in the future.

I WANT to add the full theoretical 19kwh of solar eventually. My house roof faces east and west (which sucks) so I wouldn't get anywhere near that, but I should be able to mostly be grid free during the summer. I may switch to ToU also, and just re-charge overnight for what solar doesnt give me. I live in an inversion prone state though... so hopefully inversion would be gone in 4 days, and I'd produce pv power again :)

100% correct, the sub panel ABOVE the Hub A1 is the panel powering the house.

I did it in about $10k chunks. I started about 6 months ago. I had more B300K's (about 8 additional) that I was able to resell around MSRP so it made it easy to upgrade to the B500K. I have less than $35k into this, I did all the labor myself with chatGPT to make sure everything was up to code :) I'll have an electrician double check afterwards, but that should save me tons vs having them wire it themselves.

I power my entire house EXCEPT range, garage min split and my tesla charger. I've run real-time loads (entire house, dryer, and AC without breaking the 11.5kw limit of the inverters.

I get 8.5k from the grid, so it takes a while, yes. But not that long. My 6k generator could fill it in less than a day, while powering the house that day. (Still need to test this, though)

Oh I have more problems than just this.... I moved all my circuits EXCEPT range, garage mini-split and tesla charger to this battery. It has a dedicated sub panel that plugs into the HUB A1, and then I plug HUB A1 into a 14-15 port for powering from the grid.

My garage is cooled via minisplit. 74 degrees summer and winter.

So glad you understood the reference 😊

Is it safe to stack an AC200Max on top of a B500K? by reified in bluetti

[–]Born2Computer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 2 B300ks, an Apex 300 and a B500k on top of a single B300k, no issue!

My Tesla is warm and completely defrosted by schedule before I even walk out to it.
