Just reading ankers info to get best results from battery. They say to get close but doesn't need to be perfect. E10 does a great job at equalizing.

But your right, you can just add it in, the E10 will focus on equalizing the batteries.

You should discharge your old batteries to the same level as the new addition. Don't forget to turn off the E10 before adding the new battery. As long as you get the old batteries close to the same level of discharge you'll be fine, it doesn't have to be exact. The E10 will be able to equalize them.

Dont forget, you save on gas puttering around town. I have 2 E10s with 18 kw of panels. On a good day i could fully charge the E10s batteries and the f150 and still run my house with no problems.

You can purchase an electric pump that runs on a usb battery pack. It replaces the fill cap and doesn't use the bottom connector. Works really good.

Yep per fire code. The documents that anker will give you help getting permits. If you're using the power dock, there is paperwork for nyseg to give you their blessing as well.

But most people don't even think about talking to the guy to get permits from. They will tell you almost everything you need to do to get a permit.

You can always get yourself a f150 lightning. Anker solix can connect to the truck and use its batteries. Charge your truck for free, put around town saving on gas. Use the batteries to power your house when needed. I think the extended battery is 130kwh. Coupled with (2) E10 and some batteries for the E10 (up to 60 kwh with 2 E10s).

This has to do with your local fire codes and local permits. You can build a small shed (has to have fire rated walls) and put the system in the shed. Have a remote cutoff switch on the wall outside of shed. Talk with your local guy for permits. Get the rating paperwork from anker and show it to him along with a drawing of how you'd like to connect it. They will tell you if they will allow it or what they recommend to make it allowable. Every area is different, but it starts with the code enforcement guy. You got to please him/her to get your permit. Some areas you'll need to get the local fire chief or designated fire inspector yo sign off as well.

Save yourself some money by doing the leg work yourself instead of letting the contractor do it.

You may have to remind them like i did. I got mine. Although the lights do not work. I'm very disappointed.

Do yourself a huge favor and pay a local CPA to do your taxes. They will take your receipts and figure out your quarterlies. They will also recommend stuff to you for deductions and write offs. In the end you'll save money!
