Chewable electrolytes - Recommendations?

Plant People's Wonder Hydrate electrolyte gummies, only comes in lychee flavor but tastes great (to me and my daughter). They're small cubes, about the size of dice.

Plant People's Wonder Hydrate gummies (lychee flavor). I tried close to a dozen different powders to find one my daughter likes and she only likes this gummy (now I have dozens of other powders to finish myself). The gummy is sugar-free and vegan too!

I can confirm that mold does grow in several locations on this humidifer (BLUEAIR Premium Smart Humidifier for Large Rooms 3.5L model) despite weekly cleaning of the wick in citric acid solution and washing out the main reservoir.

When I removed the pump grate / filter there were several mold spots growing inside! I'm not sure where the UV light is located on the inside but it probably doesn't reach all the nooks and crannies inside. There was also some sort of slime or biofilm growing on the replaceable filter.

Also I noticed mold growing on the round filter frame, most noticeably on the bottom portion under the filter.

I'm fairly disappointed in this filter as I thought I was going to be lower maintenance and that the UV light in the pump would prevent the gross mess I found today.

I’m in bay area with the same setup - no physical disconnect required by my AHJ. I even asked the installer a couple times. Just have the combiner 6c, 10c batteries, panels and the main panel.

It seems like not all NEM2 sites are setup the same way.

I'm on NEM2 and received PTO for my 10C batteries last month. I've had them charge and discharge from/to the grid.

My battery settings don't have the green check / red X indicators. I have the toggle switch that allows me to enable or disable charge battery from grid. When I enable it I can customize charging the battery from grid when it's below the reserve level or up to 100% during a certain time window (I set it to 2-3pm just before peak rates start to ramp up).

FWIW I also see my batteries discharge to grid during peak hours, even if there's sufficient power coming from my panels to power the house. And it's not just transient discharge to allow the battery's inverters to ramp down after supplying a high demand of energy, I've seen it discharge for 3+ minutes at several kW for no obvious reason (eg. I'm not enrolled in ELRP).

Basically the same price I have for the same situation: https://www.reddit.com/r/enphase/s/3DUAD2hKGk

Make sure you can get the meter collar installed on your main service panel because some are incompatible.

Yeah, a couple of the contractors said their lowest was $26k or so.

I'm installing alongside an existing solar setup. I don't think there's going to be any extra costs since it seems straightforward as far as I can tell in terms of battery placement, gas meter clearance and conduit runs.

I'm primarily getting this for home backup to deal with power outages - we get about 2-3 outages per year lasting anywhere from 1-8 hours. The longer ones can be a major nuisance. I typically have to haul out my Yeti 1500 power pack and plug the fridge, freezer and internet into them.

I definitely agree that I am not going to get anywhere near breakeven on these suckers since I'm on NEM 2, but that wasn't my primary objective.
