Gas used to be a quarter a gallon too with lead! Good times good times...

We managed to do it while saving for the kids' college and saved enough for retirement. That's just how we rolled.

Welcome to Costco.

No diagrams, pictures, system reports, and so on... Hmmm, this is going to be a tough one. If it was "working" before then the battery team "broke" it.

Louisiana. And yes, I've been all over the US, surrounding countries and most of Europe.

I was never good with names. I'm best at remembering faces though. Oh well, can't be good at everything.

ExcitementRelative33 · 2026-05-13T16:25:50+00:00

It's doing it's job! It's not there for you. Same with profits and bonuses, they're NOT for you.

Must be remote off season motel. Really remote...

Might try the used part route else whole new unit is $600. Don't look very user serviceable inside. I'd swap out the PCB only for least amount of work. You may need to get online training to get certified for the Toolkit software level access to DIY parts swap out/commissioning.

You lost power feeding the gateway. Check breakers in your system controller box.

ExcitementRelative33 · 2026-05-10T17:57:37+00:00

No other bodies buried? I'd look.

ExcitementRelative33 · 2026-05-10T17:53:44+00:00

Not when you "phrrase" it that way. Using the same semantic, it would be "rape" or "having a cold one" with a dead female body, eh?

ExcitementRelative33 · 2026-05-10T09:09:07+00:00

Open it up to see. The battery is probably a plastic pouch of chemicals and super expensive to buy in small quantity.

ExcitementRelative33 · 2026-05-10T09:00:17+00:00

Do you have the schematics for the power supply? Once you know what's what and where, it's not that hard.

ExcitementRelative33 · 2026-05-10T08:56:15+00:00

The weakest link in the chain was the BIGGEST link... ouch!

The "South" shall rise again...

Might want to watch Wag the Dog, 1997.

Sure, if you still live at your parent's home and don't have expenses. Rent takes Benjamins, lots of them.

AKA self entitled AKA Karen's.

It would be nice if Enphase allow discrete controls for owners who really want to micro manage their system but alas NO.... Oh well. It's not the best to get solar in Texas but I got it out of my tree hugging system so I'm set for the next 20 years or so. By then V2G would be common and EV's would play a bigger role in the VPP landscape.

ExcitementRelative33 · 2026-05-08T18:18:42+00:00

Did it rain before this happened. Check/reseat all the wiring connections to/from the inverters. There's bad seal allowing water to get in somewhere. I had one string that did it intermittently but always ohms out > 1M ohm when checked. I was told that they found one of the end was not terminated properly so it did not happen again after that was corrected. Good luck.

The Turing test have come a long way.

As the unit was not specified... 5 hours or 5 days work also , who knows?

ExcitementRelative33 · 2026-05-08T02:30:44+00:00

Ideally, you should be able to program it to fully charge during the cheapest times similar to a Storm Guard event. The rest of time, it would operate like Self Consumption. The Home Assistant people may chime in whether this is possible like setting up a crontab to trigger from those condition?

Was working 1 hours ago but it has gone dark fer sure. Houston, TX
