    Ha! Made it through all of the video (in segments). Solar with battery backup is a great solution. The battery can be fixed like the Powerwall or any other fixed battery & portable battery backup in the form of a vehicle is a great solution to distributed power. At some point there will be 2nd life EV batteries used in stationary battery applications in homes. Thanks Tom for the through explanation of his get 1 system. Long, but worth it.

    Awesome video. Love the collaboration between two channels. The charge station pro is awesome. FORD really knew their customers would want to be able to charge their trucks to full every night even if it was just 8-9 hours at home. Also the Home integration system is very cool. Expensive for a back up system BUT if you are going solar anyway, any 10 kw inverter you will get is actually at least half of the whole cost of the home integration system components and you can opt to get a 10 kw inverter even though Tom only got a 4 kw. I know this because I have a lightning, I purchased the back up system, they sent me a 4KW inverter and I returned it for a 10 kw one.

    When power goes out it’s typically very regional, for example, if my power is out even for several days it’s typically not out at work in town and vice versa albeit for a much shorter timeframe. Tom you have touched on this before. So that being said the system we are building counts on a very small lithium battery 5-6 KWH that serves a critical load (refrigeration outlets and lighting) sub panel through an inverter charger. The Lightning is being set up through the 30A, 240 outlet in the bed to plug into a generator transfer switch that feeds the primary panel. By night the Lightning runs all loads in the house with some management, including the charger to bring the critical load battery back to full. By day the critical load battery keeps the food cold the internet on while the Lightning is recharging at work. If work is out also, we are still covered for three days.

    Tom and Kyle, I am one of those that installed the Ford HIS via SunRun. I have existing SunPower solar panels that provide AC via microinverters. Realizing that our new Lightning would require more KWH, we added an additional eight SunRun DC panels(these run through the Delta bidirectional). Although the HIS does function when power is lost, it only does so if we manually disconnect the SunRun panels(via bottom switch of the Delta). If the SunRun panels remain connected, every backed-up circuit flashes with interrmittent power. SunRun has yet to figure out how to make it function properly.
