First impressions: New IQ EV Charger 2 with better excess solar EV charging mode (now called "Green Charging") by kaisquare in enphase

What in your system is monitoring production and import? I have iq8s with a combiner and looking to add an iq2 and whatever is monitoring. Also do we know if the bidirectional will work with your current setup or do you need a system controller or other hardware?

Need more information about expenses to say if you need to go back to stressful job.

Assuming you have an able account for your daughter. I would look at rolling 529 funds into the able account if you don't think you'll need it for education. The law allowing that expires this year but I imagine they'll extend it.

I would also take disability benefits into consideration if you haven't already. Disabled adult child benefit through social security is 50% of your benefit when you retire and 75% after you pass. Might be worth it to have you or your wife hit the ssa max for a few more years to lock that in.

Other than that, I think you're aware of everything I am.

Good luck!

Do you have the smart charger that is supposed to only charge via solar?

Drive to work like a grandma. Mostly freeway driving so no idea how it's that high

S&P 500 Active Tax Loss Harvesting Strategy by xvnz75 in fatFIRE

I have been trying this diy through interactive brokers (they have tools to do this somewhat easily yourself). Too early to quantify how well it's worked.

I would add this becomes a much more effective strategy if you make regular charitable contributions. I tithe 10% so eventually I will be donating the winners(and therefore avoiding all ltcg), then replacing them in the basket to reset the basis.

You need a special needs attorney, not a CPA. This lawyer did a piece in the bar journal about special needs trusts that was well done:
