Some of this depends on what your objective is and what your income tax situation is. You can use it to get a big refund or you could reduce you withholding so that you get more cash in your pocket during the year. The tax credit is not refundable (ie, you can only claim it up to the amount of tax you ...

Thanks to everyone for assistance. I've attached better pictures of the CT's and meter. This afternoon I got a chance to validate a number of things including L1 and L2 on both panels. I used the voltmeter to check between the two panels and indeed L1 is L1 and L2 is L2. Validated the high voltage feeds ...

Hello all, Thanks for your help thus far. Sorry I've been busy with the holidays. I have made progress but am still off 10-15% on both import and export between what the meter says and what the utility says. The issue I found was that the feeds from the panel to the (SolarEdge) meter were both on the ...

I have an LG RES10U (10 kwh) the battery for emergency backup circuits with a separate panel connected directly to the inverter so should commercial power fail I can at least run the refrigerator, freezer and a couple lights. Due to IRS regulations (which are intended to keep people from arbitraging ...

Attached is the picture of the meter with the wiring I recently corrected. I am pretty confident that the wires are connected correctly but will check tomorrow. There are 4 CT's, 2 for each 200A box. The breaker panels do not adjoin each other so I had to run about 10 feet of wire to combine the CT's. ...

There are two sets of CT's, one for each of the breaker boxes and are wired to the meter in parallel. The CT's are pointed at the grid per the arrow on the inside of the CT openings. The local utility will not allow any customer equipment in the meter setting as the installer wanted to put them there. ...

Schematic attached below. Although in the winter the house can draw 11Kwh, not this time of year. Right now it appears to me that the math in the inverter is wrong. There is one 400Amp feed separated in the meter setting feeding to the two panels. Yes, there is only solar feed to one panel. House ...

Hi all, I've been dealing with a measurement issue for a couple months that I've been unable to determine root cause of. I have a unique set up as I have 2 - 200 amp panels (total of 400 Amps), feeds from electric company are 200 amps. I have a SolarEdge StorEdge single phase inverter with 8.9 kWh of ...

Hi, Here in Missouri they charge $37.50 for a PHEV and $75 for an EV. It's a fair trade as I know I don't pay a fair share in gas taxes. For my Volt I bought a total of 15 gallons of gas in 2020. Like an earlier post I put money down on a Nissan but when they jacked up the price, were late over a year, ...
