Hi from Australia, nobody ever says how much these things cost. Or about cost.

Great system my only advice would to have them lifted incase of a flood having experienced this first hand

Exactly why I didn't want to ever go grid-tied. This solution is PERFECT!! Great review.

The power company in Hawaii does NOT control how you use solar or battery back-up in Hawaii. You choose your own solution. My sister uses a Tesla Powerwall and often calls me to confirm a power outage if she suspects one, because she always has power. Mahalo Nui...

Wow, flying all way to down to CA just to showcase this power solution! I hope the Anker company appreciates your efforts you went through to showcase their product!

And the Vanna White Golden Globe Award, goes to Martin! But it was entertaining! Love the Enthusiasm!

We hade the same system other brand years. Living in Sweden. Saving money that for sure. 18kw solar. 15kw battery. That in combination with electric car is perfect.

This looks good, but I don't like it when companies are cagey about the prices of their products.

very cool looking

We bought our system from Franklin. Two 13.6kw batteries and 47 solar panels. Only 15 panels are tied to the batteries so as not to overcharge them. This system also has the storm warning feature to make sure the batteries are charged, a time of use feature if you have different rates for high use periods and self consumption that allows me to only use the solar panels and the batteries to supply power to the house even though we are still tied to the grid. I can also set how much of the battery is utilized before switching back to the grid to save power incase of and outage. Right now I have it set to go all the way down to 10% of capacity.

Great video Martin and seems like a good product.

Nice, good information.

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

I already have a similar setup in my house in Australia. Installed a year ago.

It’s cool to see Anker offering a decent option. This effectively competes with Tesla’s power gateway which offers the automated safe grid isolation.

Great content, and thanks for posting. I want a similar set up, but I have dual Anker F3800's. I was wondering if I move the breaker for my solar inverter from the main panel, to my "critical loads" sub panel, will my solar system stay functional? Is the Anker Smart Panel for the F3800's similar to smart panel for the X1 battery storage system

@martin thanks for this great video. Does this support two solar systems? I have one microinverter setup and a tesla solar system. Can this feed two PV sources?

well it is nice to think your power company will buy your extra power I tell you most won't some will but not around or is do they give as much as they would change you

Tesla Powerwalls have a built-in grid isolation system that enable you to continue to use your solar power in the event of the grid going down - at least the ones they sell in the UK does.
