So 10.2 on the face.

How many KWH do you make a day on average?

I don't know exactly. Usually it's somewhere between 40 and 50 kWh if the weather is clear and I have enough demand.

I owned a couple of the 300/6. All mine came with the NP 4 speed. That engine came out in 1965 - along with the 240 - well outside my 40 year window.

I did not choose 40 years randomly.

Yeah wasn't sure if that was less than 40 years

I get around 45 with an 20 panel/8K Qcell and enphase IQ8 array.

When you say " when you have enough demand" does that mean your setup will stop producing once and if it detects a full battery and no load not sending anything back to the grid?

I've always liked the sol ark outside its min startup voltage.

My experience with tranformerless inverters is that they dont like load imbalances and all my friends that use these designs end up adding a balancing autotransformer. I think the victron has the edge on the sol ark here.

He's been driving around in a BYD and praising them for the last year. About time they do something.

Sounds like the first model might be a smaller EV pickup.

“Ford has been vague about what that team will bring to market, but insiders hint the company is preparing to launch an entirely new EV “family.” And that’s expected to include a number of different body styles, starting with a small, all-electric pickup somewhere in size between the compact Ford Maverick and midsize Ranger, said Sam Abuelsamid, lead analyst with Telemetry Research. At least one small SUV will follow”
