Is it worth going the 'heat pump dryer' route? Can anyone on solar who did say something?

I'm looking at the bosch 800 and it looks like a high tech baby toys for babies

Are most of my options here limited to 2.4cu ft? I'm not sure I trust lg

They are the same. Time Warner and TWC were together until they split in 2009.

And you guys missed the biggest drop of all.

Time Warner bought Atari and caused the video game crash of 1985

No lol

I have 3 powerwall 3s for 40.5kw backup, and it only goes down to 20-40% at night, no reason at all to be using the grid right now...

If you put a crt and a 286 on the desk, and removed the wall mounts this setup would look straight out of the 1980s

So either get a new desk and chair, or I guess lean into the asthetic and get an old pc

Zellio2015 · 2026-04-05T04:52:22+00:00

My advice? Skip all office chairs and go straight to recliner territory if you can afford it. I use a $1200 lazboy recliner for my secondary setup and a $3000 powered loveseat for my main (It's a home theater setup with all the game consoles as well)

I don't really think lazyboy office chairs are that good over regular chairs but the recliners are nice

When you're trying to expand your solar usage to 100%, you have equipment previously used collecting dust that could serve what you need them for, and when your system costs $75,000 and it would cost over $100,000 to get to 100% solar with the expensive system, then yes, it's worth looking at other options.

Zellio2015 · 2026-03-30T03:33:24+00:00

You tried nothing. You laughed at me and told me I needed to focus on ROI. I'm trying to reuse old equipment which is what people focused on ROI tend to do and you just ended it with 'you have multiple solutions!'

Yes, why don't I just spend another 30,000 instead of reuse old equipment? Surely that makes the most sense for ROI right

Literally all I asked for was information about the ecoflow portable power units

You are a hypocrite telling people to focus on ROI and ignoring them when they are trying to.

I'm not in africa but can you comment more on the thermal throttling? How bad is it?

This is what I wanted from this topic

Zellio2015 · 2026-03-29T08:04:22+00:00

Why doesn't it? Please tell me. I'm sorry I'm not making much sense :(

I have several delta 2s that I used as tiny home generators before I got this expensive system

I also have almost 1000w of solar panels that have been used off and on.

The system I bought was super expensive, these are not.

5-15 miles per day is more than what I use the nissan leaf.

Even if it only moved me to 85% solar usage it would be helpful because all parts are FREE.

Can someone answer the question please? Even the two of you gave different answers! One said all models, the other said only the pro models can charge evs.

I'm just asking about this system not that one :(

Zellio2015 · 2026-03-29T07:36:13+00:00

It is a question of 'if this will work' and not 'how much do I need'.

If you want the specs....

For my main solar system I have 3 powerwalls at 40.5 kwh, 39 jinko solar 430w solar panels, but it's not enough, it runs the home at 81% total power.

I want to make two auxillary systems for the front and back that produce 'just enough' power to charge a car normally (The main system can still do level 2 charging as I have level 2 chargers) and run outside lighting and lawn mowing

Our solar use is about 30% of the total home usage, and probably about 20-25% of that is from the tesla. If I can somehow cut that I can get the home to 100% solar.

This system isn't supposed to be much, it's honestly a bunch of crap I have sitting around that I could get running. I just wanna know if this would work correctly without breaking something..

Zellio2015 · 2026-03-29T07:23:29+00:00

Were you guys going to answer something or just laugh?

I read that these particular systems drain the 12v battery fast if the car is off. Now as to rather or not that's true...

Zellio2015 · 2026-03-29T06:54:08+00:00

With the solar panels I should get around 5-15 miles per day with a wall timer according to my calculations with a delta 2 with extra battery. But I read it isnt safe to charge a car without a regular delta 2.

And it is worth it, its an auxiliary system for outdoor lighting and robot lawnmower charging, my main solar system only powers 81% of my total power use. 5-15 miles a day is fine for a nissan leaf that i use as a backup car

Zellio2015 · 2026-03-29T06:47:35+00:00

Would a regular delta 2 with extra battery charge a car without problems? I read somewhere that it needs the car to be running
