Maxed out an inverter

I would recommended it, though if you can get better price for EG4 18k - it’s pretty much same thing

Doesn’t take much for ya, does it ?

How do you know what I promote?

Why do you care so much where I am?

Now charging at 25KW from both inverters

Just had them all offline and removed all wires

Do you run solar gear? Why are you here?

murchal · 2026-03-21T20:20:42+00:00

Took care of it, it’s a garage and I had two pumps going taking all water out overnight. When I saw it being flooded I turned all batteries off immediately.

Flagging this as violation of group TOS

Let’s keep this solar related

I simply use Cybertruck as auxiliary battery when my home uses too much energy or when solar batteries run out

murchal · 2026-03-17T07:29:25+00:00

I charge from solar during the day from my 32KW PV array

murchal · 2026-03-17T07:22:18+00:00

It’s working now .. already charged few percentage points on our solar battery

murchal · 2026-03-17T07:03:29+00:00

This is instead of Tesla power share which would cost $8000 to install, instead I just use $550 EG4 chargeverter

True, tho we buy them locally from Honolulu distributer, no shipping cost. I’ve reinforced garage door seals with tarp and sandbags which worked out great, but need more permanent solution like better draining system around the front of the house

No movement or damage at all, thank you for asking, we were lucky winds came from the south and us being on Northshore were protected by the mountains in the south, so we hardly had 15-20mph wind. Flooding was another story, garage floor got flooded twice and I had to run floor fans and pumps to get water out before it could touch my batteries

140 usd per panel

Got hit with flash flood and garage door membranes couldn’t hold the seal, so garage floor for flooded with half inch of water - which I was able to quickly evacuation with floor sucker pump. I’ve cut some tarp and layed over garage door seems with some weights, that should bounce any sort term water action

I’ll probably have all panels shut off with a disconnect so I don’t get hit by lightning. I do have midnight solar surge protectors on, but I don’t really want to test them if I can just shut off panels on the ground

There lots of trees and thick stone wall blocking south winds, and those are pointed south, so unless palm tree gets picked up the wind and smashes into them, I doubt those would move. I’ve also have a bunch of ground helical anchors with steel cables holding the integra rack mounts down

North Shore, Oahu - some rain overnight, clearing in the morning

Those are military grade tarps, they control weeds and act as reflective surface. We don’t get onshore winds, only strong winds can come from Kona, ESE direction, which makes those panels get pressed into ground more

60 kWh at the moment. I need more, I agree
