Hello, DIYers.

I plan to install a budget solar power system primarily for air conditioning and emergency power backup.

The approximate system configuration diagram is as shown in the attached figure.

Do you think I missed something in the figure?

I ordered an Eco-Worthy inverter and battery for $700 via eBay.

Also plan to purchase used solar panels locally for $35 each.

I got MrCool 9000 BTU 110V mini split for $150.

So, including the cost of other parts, the total will be about $1,600.

I also have a few questions.

1. If the AC input terminals are connected as shown in this figure, how should the ground-neutral wire be connected?

If my memory serves me correctly, when connecting to a household AC power source, shouldn't it be supplied from the existing ground-neutral wire installed in the house?

2. Where should the fuse be connected, the positive or the negative?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello LEAF owners,

I reset the trip (mileage) and energy efficiency records last Monday.

As you can see in the photo, a total of 166.2 miles were driven, and an average energy efficiency of 4.5 miles/kWh was recorded. .

I had the driving mode set to 'D mode', so I'm not sure why it shows 'Eco mode' on the screen. lol

Guess how much I charged at home.

It was only 3 kWh!

I mostly charged it for free at work.

One day, I only had 19 miles left to drive, so I had no choice but to charge some.

Assuming gas is $3.55 per gallon, my "real" fuel efficiency reaches a whopping 1404.8 mpg! lol

I'm planning to challenge myself to 'Infinite' fuel efficiency this week!
