This guy is the real deal. Back 6 or 7 years ago, he bought a crashed tesla battery and used it to replace his old lead acid batteries.

Waking up with 68% battery since sundown last night. Here's energy generation (dk blue), export(lt blue) and usage for HVAC(purple) and my car(orange) yesterday. Note that export takes off sharply after 1pm... that's when the batteries got full from the previous night and 100% of my system was dedicated to export.

Hi guys,
Just thought id share my solar setup as i saw a few chatting about it , ive been off grid 14 years ,
I love this battery box,
Custom made to how i wanted , 100ah lithium,
All heavy duty wiring inside,
3 anderson ports for fridge , 2 x 180 solar panels with built in regulator,
Then 3, 12v ports on front where i plug in 600w inverter , and also an additional usb port,
It does everything i need , lights , charge accessories, fridge, run small appliances,
Nice and compact if you hit the road too

Something to consider.... If you need to interlock your HVAC system you don't need to interrupt power to it, you only need to interrupt the thermostat wire. This might save you money on large contactors.

Let's say you have two heatpumps but can only run one at a time. You use the compressor wire (Y) for one to pull in a relay so the other one can't run. (interupt the R wire).

If you do one relay then one unit is primary and the other is always 2nd fiddle. BUT if you cross connect them, then the first one to run gets to run and the other has to wait. There is no dominant unit.

As silly as it looks this has lots of applications…. Handy bit of kit.

Somewhere in America today there is a person who doesn't yet know this is their last day with all 10 fingers.

Keep your rifle by your side!
