Not bragging, but many of my clients in this situation are billionaires or at least some sizable fraction of that. Naples is a pretty interesting place. They are usually not willing to compromise. On the three barrier islands where I do off-grid work, it always starts off as a few mini-splits and t

In my view, the real consideration here is whether or not the utility should be allowed to be the arbiter of how much capacity a homeowner is allowed to back up. My stance is no. They can't tell you how big of a backup generator you can have. Why should they get to dictate what capacity the custome

Still Jason it seems very crazy! When I do energy for a home in your neck, usually offgrid, we use mini-splits and in a large home like you are referring with the grid, the same thing, use a split for a zone, like the kitchen and save all that wasted battery capacity backing up the whole home. T

Haha, we would not have the pool heater on a backup system, but many times people want a partial home backup system with whole home annual grid offset. But for practical purposes around here, full-time residents often just trade pool heating for air conditioning based on season. If you size a back

There are many 4,000 sq ft pool homes in my area with electric pool heating and electric everything else where 25kW would just cover the electric bill. Some larger homes around here can definitely require more. Florida Power & Light allows up to 50kW on 120/240V split phase service, but only if exp

Wrenches, l have both single and 3 phase residential systems over a 100 k and we used the largest SMA's available and now 15 years later they are starting to fail so fewer bigger more efficient inverters are a plus. Now with PG&E NEM 3.0 Batteries are the only way to store and use later, and then t
