  Quick tip: never turn on a propane tank fast. That will cause its safety valve to seize or freeze. You just barely crack it open until you can hear the gas moving. Then wait a couple seconds and open it another half turn and start your generator. Once your generator is running, then open the valve several more turns.

  Be aware that the quantity of gas in a propane tank can vary by where you buy it. If the tank is about $20 it probably has 3.5 gal. If the tank is about $15.00 it probably has around 2.5 to 3 gallons. If you go to a propane refill station, you'll pay $3.75 cents per gallon. If you have an actual 30 gallon tank in your backyard that they must come out and refill, it's going to run roughly 5 days.

  My neighbor never fertilized his bermuda grass or put in weed and feed for 4 years, then put this down twice in two months at full strength each time. The results after 4 months since the first application are surprisingly good. His lawn was 25% grass and 75% weeds and is now the opposite and he probably should apply a straight fertilizer next. To fully recover his lawn I think he will have to repeat this next season.

  @@SuperRobkar Northern Louisiana here. We had nice spring rainfall. His lawn is 75% recovered after two Triple Action applications. While still a ways to go, I was pretty surprised at this off the shelf product. Next season he will need a heavy pre-emergent dose and heavy fertilizer dose at some point, in addition to 1 or even 2 applications again of Triple Action. Based on this experience, maybe a reasonable alternative for lawns in poor shape is 2 full applications of Triple Action two months apart as the instructions allow, plus common sense of a lawn fert and a pre-emergent at the right times.

  Does the constant power cut / power on cycling damage the mini split over time? I would think that they're not designed for constant power loss like that, especially since you don't appear to be performing a graceful shutdown. I think I'd use a Zendure or Ecoflow or something in UPS mode - Have solar DC input and house AC input both going to the Zendure, and Zendure out to the AC unit. The Zendure is smart enough to charge enough to balance the input, or you could put your cutover switch between the house and the zendure, ensuring that it charges with only solar when you choose. That way the AC unit never sees a power loss at all. Hope that makes sense, it was kind of stream of consciousness.

  I just had a 2 zone (18 & 12) 30k btu (condenser) mini-split heat pump installed and I'm seeing similar power usage values. The most I've ever seen it draw was 10a for a short period of time, 8a typical when it's really hot out and both heads are blasting, but even with that current moduates up and down constantly. Mostly between 2 and 4 when everything is cooled down. It's amazing how little power it can draw keeping 2 floors cool. I'm using the same power meter as you and I also see what I would consider very low power factors. I'm typically seeing 0.25 when idle, 0.6 when running slowly to maintain temp, and about 0.85 when running full current. I was concerned about these values but your unit confirms this is apparently how these systems consume power.

  Truely amazing devices. They convert AC to DC so that all motors can run at variable speed. Then they use an integrated circuit connected to temperature probes to determine speeds of both fans and compressor. Most times that means you are not running at full tilt boogie speed, like the old split systems of the past. Most of the time you actually don't need that much heating or cooling to satisfy the user. Plus too these are very inexpensive and the cost to own is nominal. And if something goes wrong you merely replace the component (indoor or outdoor unit) as the cost to have a repairman is more than the cost of replacement. These units are changing the entire hvac industry.

  @@SuperRobkar It may be that code requires a transfer switch designed to mechanically make it physically impossible for you to send power back to the grid when the power is out. By your description, you can potentially transfer power to the grid: you said you could turn on the battery feed and immediately afterword turn off the grid feed. That would imply both are live at the same time momentarily. Therefore, if the power were to go out, for that moment you would be powering the grid. Actually, it wouldn't even have to go out. Sort of like when people make a double-ended male plug and plug on end into their generator and the other male end into a household plug to power the house receptacles. It sends generator power through the house, which the Power Company doesn't like. The Wichita Lineman won't ever stand the strain on that stretch down south, regardless of your fine feelings for Glen Campbell. Also, there may be another good reason not to turn on your battery before first turning off your grid- as there will be a sine wave mismatch, which will make magic smoke. Unless your equipment is explicitly frequency harmonized with the grid, say for net metering, and you have an agreement with the power company, then do not turn both on at once.

  @@SuperRobkar They are talking about a mechanical transfer switch that marries the breaker you flipped from the house to the breaker to your panels in the same box. It makes it so you can't physically turn on your generator power without first disconnecting your power to the grid. The mechanical ones, you shift/slide a piece at the meter box that disconnects you from the grid first and makes it physically impossible to turn your grid connection back on... and then after you have shifted this piece it uncovers/allows you to physically turn the switch to turn on your local power/generator. Essentially it makes it physically impossible & dummy proof for you to accidentally have both on at once, and send power back out on the main lines, potentially killing a lineman that might be fixing something after a storm when power goes out.... Cool vid man hope that explains what they were on about. It's all about safety.

All you have to do to upgrade them to their rated power is upgrade the power jack transformer and add a choke to the transformer.
