i ordered a dual CT for the same reason and am saving money for the purchase while STILL investing as much as i can in Tesla. Let your "needs" be your "wants" and your "wants" your "needs".
i WILL get off Entergy's grid. it's one of my bucket list items. Thanks so much for your response. I grew up in Marrero, went to West Jeff, worked offshore as a college kid and then for 35 more years after college. Crawled many a ballast tank for Odeco doing internal inspections for the...
i was really fortunate in that i was able to self-contract my install. Went with Wholesale Solar. My contractor, whom i've known for a long time, did installs once upon a time. the biggest pain in the ass was the permitting required by the electrical utility but they were NOT gonna put me...
My solar panel system will charge my CT during the day when not in use as a fully autonomous self driving vehicle that is earning money for me while I sleep...I need and want the V2G functionality...the last little piss ant storm, Zeta, that hit New Orleans had us out of power for 3-4 days...
if batteries are in short supply for the next decade or so, then V2G/V2H would certainly help that situation if the CT had these capabilities...the damned Nissan Leaf has it...c'mon E...
i live in New Orleans and if you've lived through Katrina(2005), Camille(1969), Betsy(1965), Hilda(1964), you'd understand how impacted by life experience has been with extended power outages. The outages caused by Katrina were the most egregious but in many places, Camille's impact was just as...
if one has a solar grid array, as i do, give me the option to use my CT in the capacity i so choose. set the discharge at whatever cutoff point one wishes. a generator is a pain in the ass and whether natural gas fired or gasoline fired, still emits pollutants. if my solar array captures what...
My home solar panel system is properly sized so that it can power my home AND charge the CT on a nice, sunny day. Thanks for your most informed and eloquent response.
in hurricane country, one can have multiple day or week outages. We don’t have wildfires or peak demand issues BUT we have a terrible grid. Elon already said the capability is there and was used but nobody really used it. With the massive improvements, V2G is a most valuable option. I don’t...
great response. And the CT will have the software to set how much you want the CT to discharge before you don't have the energy you need to drive the CT. A smart inverter and a connection to the CT would power my entire house and my solar panel system will recharge my CT when not in use. If...
of course I am in favor of building infrastructure. Just noting that the tax man is gonna get his due one way or the other. It is essential to our way of life and the economy. I am sorry that the air quality where you live is so bad and is causing you issues. Take good care of yourself.
