Outstanding. The efficiency of the PPOB is a thing of beauty.

Well done with your set up and once you have the panels in place, you may be off grid for as long as you like. Solar array or PPOB and never have another electric bill. :)

Gotto love the EG4 Chargeverter.

Dragged out the old noisy Generac. No problem! Plug it in. Start it up. Walk away. No transfer switching. Charging battery bank @ 100A 5kW. That will be available if needed for house sitter when we are away camping with PB. Sooo cool.

Other than starting and stopping the truck, I didn’t need to do anything. Remote would be great!!
You could sign up for the API and remotely start the truck via script, if you want to go down that rabbit hole.

Edit: Maybe the PPoB functionality is still in there, but the app itself lost it when they rewrote it.

Thanks. I have that and have been using for well over a year. Unfortunately, it does not offer any Pro Power control. You cannot “stop” when Pro Power is engaged and cannot start and engage Pro Power. Sad.

Just to add if anyone ( Apple ecosphere ) is interested. These siri shortcuts still work - edit to add, not all work. The only ones I really use are start, lock, unlock.
