Why use a extension cord? Looks like you could’ve scooted the power station a couple feet and plugged the kitchen fridge into the power station.
lol click bait image. just kidding
Looks like ya used a filter...
I’ve got to learn how to do color correction because the GoPro I use to film acts strange between when there’s sunlight and when there’s shade as well as when something of a different color (like my hand/arm come into the frame) it can distort the colors a bit. Anyway, thanks for watching!
Ha Ha HA
Thanks for watching!
I am wondering if you are exceeding a safe discharge rate for the 5Ah x 18V (90Wh) battery, and are risking a fire. Maybe the Silent Mode is safer, pulling just over 1C from the Tool Battery.
Maybe so! I know the power tools themselves pull more than 1C all the time and the Makita batteries have a BMS that add an extra layer of protection. But I’m certainly a believer in being better safe than sorry. Thanks for watching!

If using a liquid iron product , is the ph change necessary ?
It’s not required…but the lawn can absorb it much better in the PH range of 5. Citric acid is so cheap and lasts so long, I think it’s totally worth it to make the more expensive products make more of an impact. Thanks for watching!
imagine wearing a mask in 2024....now imagine wearing a mask while outdoors.....NOW imagine wearing a mask by yourself, outdoors, in 2024. I honestly don't believe there's people like this. This has to be a joke.
To your point, it’s is indeed 2024, and I’m outside with tons of ventilation and I’m all by myself and you just never know when COVID will jump out and get ya! Haha! Just kidding! How does the old saying go? Something like be careful what you say until you’ve walked a mile in someone else’s shoes? In reality, I get really bad spring allergies that medication alone can’t stay in top of, so I wear a mask whenever I go outside to lower the pollen counts I breathe. You’re very observant! Thanks for watching!
Appreciate you man, nice that people care about others more than making a dime. Thank you God bless

Is it bad for the inverter to be taking in solar power but not outputting it if AC shuts down?
Nope! The inverter shuts the solar production down as soon as it loses sight of the grid. Thanks for watching!
Any way to applied this in a 120V system ? Or i will need another microinverter?
Yeah, not with this inverter and I have yet to find a decent 120V inverter worth spending any money on. Hopefully someone makes one soon! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video! Great idea! It was hard to see your wiring set up on the AC unit . Do you know the names of the parts you wired into on the AC unit?
You’re welcome! I simply wired the inverter to the load side of the contactor and of course the ground wire to ground. And that’s it! It’s very simple.
@@theresatrickforthat Thank you! Last question...Did you have to buy something to protect the wiring from rain or were you able to leave it out? Sry, i never look at my AC unit unit outside but i imagine the parts are typically enclosed.
How would you connected multiple micro inverters?
They just daisy chain together! It’s super easy! Just take a look and Enphase installation guides! Thanks for watching!
When you have it on eco mode does it still blow 60 degrees out? Is it truly 60 degrees is what I’m really asking.
It blows out very cold air when the compressor is on. But Eco mode causes the compressor to run for a few minutes and then forces it to stay off for a few minutes. During the time the compressor is off, it’s just going to be running the fan blowing ambient air temperature out. Thanks for watching!

Question for my situation as i already have PV on my roof however, it's not sufficient to replace all of our energy use since I have a grid tie back feed utility agreement. I'm wondering if I do in fact contribute to additional back feed, how would the utility company know if it's coming from my current system or I just supplement a little bit? I understand that this would be behind the contactor and independent of that negating this question anyway
That I’m not sure of. Sorry! Thanks for watching!
Best real world testing I have seen for this ecoflow system Great Review Thank You
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching!
bro are you wearing a mask in your backyard?!?!?! you gotta be kidding me
Well you know it’s 2024, and I’m outside with tons of ventilation and I’m all by myself and you just never know when COVID will jump out and get ya! Haha! Just kidding! In reality, I get really bad spring allergies that medication alone can’t stay in top of, so I wear a mask whenever I go outside to lower the pollen counts I breathe. You’re very observant! Thanks for watching!
My wiFe would be pissed with that crap sitting in the backyard.... but my bill is cheap anyway so.....
Pick your poison! :) Thanks for watching!
Not sure how you got this to work without the IQ gateway because this inverter requires it at lest to set it up. I tried this but no luck
Well, you saw it in living color work and I don’t have a gateway. You just need to be sure you have solar connections made, sun shining on the panels, and a grid power connection (in the case of this video, that’s through the contactor on the A/C unit) and it’ll produce power. Thanks for watching!
Dude you’re alone in your backyard. Take off the mask, it doesn’t do anything!
Well you know it’s 2024, and I’m outside with tons of ventilation and I’m all by myself and you just never know when COVID will jump out and get ya! Haha! Just kidding! In reality, it does do something for me in a very important way. I get really bad spring allergies that medication alone can’t stay in top of, so I wear a mask whenever I go outside to lower the pollen counts I breathe. You’re very observant! Thanks for watching!
@@theresatrickforthatim the same way, I have bad allergies to pollen and grass and after Covid i realized that wearing a mask outside significantly helps especially if in the yard...so i occasionally still wear mask too
Would an IQ 6 inverter work ?
Not sure. Never tested those! Thanks for watching!

looks like, when we need power up our house for lets say a few hours, we need at least 20 units of these, those power banks are only good for camping, or to charge some small stuff when you are on the trip. thx for video, very informative

the rear cam has CPL too? Would be nice to see comparison video with and without CPL for rear camera. This is pretty much the only dashcam I can find that has CPL support for rear cam.
Good idea! Thanks for watching!
Great Experiment, You can also set up some solar panels and use a Power Limiting Inverter like the SUN-2000GTIL2. It allows you to "Zero export to grid" , it monitors your home loads and compensates up to 2kw, if the grid goes down, it stops production so you never back feed.
Great tip! Thanks for watching!
If the AC draws less than solar provides will the excess power go to other appliances in house? And this is not a problem?
Yes, if you have more solar connected to the AC unit than it consumes while it is running, the power will backfeed the house. I would highly recommend if you’re to that point getting a grid tie agreement set up so you don’t run any risks. Thanks for watching!
What kind of savings would that provide approximately? That’s really cool. Also your lawn rocks.
Unfortunately, the answer is a big fat…it depends. There are so many variables from electricity costs to sunlight hours and AC unit run times and sizes. For me, just that one inverter and two solar panels has slashed my air conditioning bill by 25%. Add two more panels and another inverter and I’m going to halve my monthly cost to run my A/C. Thanks for watching!
@@theresatrickforthat That's really cool!
can you have 400w of Solar Panel wood it work for the Window Air Conditioner at be cool to see

Got u beat bought a 7909 cable from Amazon attached a ring connectors.all for under 15.00 bucks
Nice! Thanks for watching!
So the 2nd wire coming out of the microinverter doesn't connect to anything?
It will connect to the cable of the next micro inverter, and then the extra cable of that 2nd one will connect to the 3rd etc. it’s for daisy chaining the inverters together. Thanks for watching!
STOP with the open mouth thumbnails...
Hey! At least it garnered a comment! Thanks for watching!
super smart ❤
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video I still need to learn more about back-feeding the grid. How does the micro-inverter reduce the amp draw from the grid? A wire drawing would be helpful so I understand the cutoff from the grid when the AC is turned off.
I highly recommend studying about grid tie and off grid solar options! It’s fascinating! Yeah, unfortunately I do not have a wiring diagram at this time. But we’ll see if I can put one together for the Version 2.0 of this coming up here in a few weeks. Thanks for watching!
Thou shal. Not covet thei neighbors lawn 😊😊
I’ll send this to my neighbors then! Haha! Thanks for watching!
Is there anything there to prevent backfeeding the grid in the event of a power failure?
Yep! There are two protections. 1. The inverter has rapid shutdown built into it so as soon as it can’t see the grid anymore, it shuts down. 2. If the grid power failed, that means the A/C contactor will open thus physically creating a disconnect with the grid. Thanks for watching!
Well - I think that more effort should go into refining direct-DC appliances, like many (most in my area) well pumps. But in the mean time, this could be used with great impact for refrigeration, in fact I'm looking into rigging that up... really anything. Got an EV to charge? How about radiant in-floor heating? How about reducing generator demand at live-music events? You know, basically everything.
There are a lot of great possibilities! Thanks for watching!
thanks for making this video.I just subscribed.
Thanks for the sub! Version 2.0 of this is coming out in a few weeks! Stay tuned for that! It’s gonna be epic! Thanks for watching!
In Mid Michigan, my average usage per day, per month is around 30kwh. So just to have 2000 watts total,, for 10hrs is around 15kwh output, a great daily offset, that can be just jammed threw a hefty inverter, into a 30amp home circuit to feed the rest of the home while the sun shines. you'll never output your daily usage, and surely cut what you pay the power co.
Nice! Just be careful…even at times home usage can be low enough that you run the chance of back feeding the grid. That’s why I recommend you connect this behind the AC contactor to avoid the risk of that. Thanks for watching!
A proper wiring video would be amazing.
Thanks for the idea and feedback and thanks for watching!
Using the contactor. I love it! Nice work :)
Thanks! 👍 And thanks for watching!
How can you be this intelligent and still have that mask on your head? Unbelievable.
Well you know it’s 2024, and I’m outside with tons of ventilation and I’m all by myself and you just never know when COVID will jump out and get ya! Haha! Just kidding! In reality, I get really bad spring allergies that medication alone can’t stay in top of, so I wear a mask whenever I go outside to lower the pollen counts I breathe. You’re very observant! Thanks for watching!
why not permanently feed in to the grid?
Not a good idea without a grid tie agreement. Thanks for watching!
