Are you powering it through solar? How many kwh is that setup? Does the excess power go back to the Grid or are you Grid free? I was looking into Tesla batteries

Yes through solar I've got 6.4 kw solar panels which will produce 32.5 kw a day on a sunny day I have 3 5.2 kw lithium ion server rack batteries which will store 15.5 kw of power I have 2 eg4 6500 inverters running parallel combined to give me 2 phase 240 volts it's running my whole house that is 7000 square feet but my house I built it out of icf it's super insulated and energy efficient I'm only using 18kwh a day so my system doesn't needd to be that big

the.full.monty Thats a nice set-up and thanks for the tip on good insulation. That does save a lot of power.

These are run by solar power? looks so cool

Dear @d8niel77,
Our previous proposal expired end of December and the Hivebuzz project is not funded anymore. May we ask you to review and support our new proposal (https://peakd.com/me/proposals/248)?
Thank you for your help!

if $sme hits $0.05, i'm building one of these!

the.full.monty I was going to ask the size, good thing I read the comments first, lol. So all you need to do is add batteries if necessary and you are good to go for a few days? I know that being self sustaining in this way is a great burden lifted. Thanks for sharing

An entirely off grid solar setup costs about $35k to $40k for a Single family residence in our area. Whereas if you lease it or go with a lease to own kind of deal with a local company like Sunrun via Costco then its between $12k to 20k.
