Re: [AFMUG] OT: Home solar
For off-grid or grid tied, the new eg4 18K and 13Kw battery ( heated ) for 10K is probably the first of what I consider is 4th generation solar systems. First system that is truly integrated, turn key solar. No piece of this, piece of that, this special settings, that special firmware. Connect around 6 wires, 9 if on-grid, and off to the races you go!

damn the 0.25c panels sold out before I could get a few pallets, with free shipping they sold almost instantly, but they still have stuff in the 30c range On Wed, Oct 4, 2023 at 5:45 AM wrote: > Thanks for the tip! > > > > *From:* AF *On Behalf Of *TJ Trout > *Sent:* Wednesday, October 04, 2023 4:55 AM > *To:* AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group > *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] OT: Home solar > > > > check signature solar, $0.25/w with free shipping I believe, also the > inverters and batteries are a fraction of the cost you mentioned > > > > On Wed, Oct 4, 2023 at 1:22 AM wrote: > > I’m contemplating solar at home. > > > > I’m seeing $0.60/watt here if you’re buying qty 10 of 550W panels.
