And even if it did power factor correction most residential customers are not charged for power factor. Zero savings. On Jul 6, 2023, at 12:27 PM, Dan Fink via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote:
It's supposed to adjust power factor for the home loads with a teeny tiny capacitor in the overpriced plug-in box. While power factor correction can be done at large scale with big banks of switched capacitors and PF sensing system (cost of $30k+, only for large facilities) , this is ludicrous for home-scale loads with no sensing system. These are 100% a scam. I am very proud of getting one of these dealers getting kicked out of a prominent renewable energy event a few years back. Snake oil has no place in our business model!
